Congress Probes NYU Shanghai for Connection to Chinese Communist Party

House of Representatives committees identified NYU Shanghai as a national security threat, advancing the Chinese Communist Party's military and technological agenda in an annual report for the second consecutive year.

A September report examined claims that joint U.S.-China academic institutes, including NYU Shanghai, are exploited by the Chinese government to strengthen its military.

The report, authored by the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party and the Committee on Education and Workforce, also claimed that U.S. institutions, after accepting major funding from the Chinese government, succumbed to CCP restrictions on academic freedom, speech, and governance.

The U.S. institutions caved to CCP restrictions on academic freedom, speech and governance.
