GOP House members stand alone in signaling the alarm that the Chinese Communist Party has infiltrated our universities and colleges. No Democrat joined them in efforts to investigate the deep ties discovered between the bastion of leftist brainwashing, the University of California Berkeley. House Republicans sent a letter to the dean of Berkeley Michael Drake, pointing out the unholy alliance between his university and the CCP’s Tsinghua University in Shenzhen.
The letter points to the work the two schools do together developing technologies that share American secrets with Chinese Communists, creating national security threats to the country. The letter was signed by committee chairman Mike Gallagher (R-Wisc.) and Congresswoman Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.).
They wrote, “Berkeley’s P.R.C.-backed collaboration with Tsinghua University raises many red flags.”
This is the second time Congress called the Marxist-training University into question for its CCP ties. In May, the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee exposed $200 million in funding it accepted from groups directly connected to the CCP.
Again, no Democrat joined in the effort to expose these CCP ties and attempt to bring people to justice who participated in this act of treason.
