Congress Calls On Prestigious University To End CCP-Linked School Allegedly Leaking ‘Sensitive’ Data

The House Committee on 🎓Education and Workforce and the Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is demanding Duke University end its campus in China due to concerns it is giving government officials access to sensitive data.

In a letter sent on Wednesday to university president Vincent Price, the committee chairmen aired concerns that Duke Kunshan University (DKU), located in Suzhou, China, has ties to “Chinese entities” and is threatening research security and indoctrinating American students with Chinese propaganda.

“Through its partnership with Chinese entities, DKU enabled the CCP to access sensitive U.S. technology, including Department of Defense-funded research into advanced camera systems—now used to surveil Tiananmen Square and track millions of people across China,” a press release from the committees reads. “The university has also allowed American students to be exploited in CCP propaganda and showcases imagery of DKU students participating in military-style training on its website. This partnership raises serious concerns about research security, academic freedom, technology transfer, and the manipulation of U.S. students for authoritarian purposes.”

Duke University’s ties to Chinese entities “jeopardize the integrity of U.S. research, risk the exploitation of sensitive technologies, and undermine taxpayer investments intended to strengthen America’s technological and defense capabilities,” the committees allege. Members are demanding the school end its collaboration with China.
