Australian universities face having their controversial Confucius Institutes shut down within months, with the University of Sydney among the first to submit contracts for scrutiny under the Commonwealth’s foreign veto scheme.
China’s Vice-President Xi Jinping and then RMIT Vice-Chancellor Professor Margaret Gardner officially open RMIT’s Chinese Medicine Confucius Institute in 2010.The institutes, which are hosted by 13 Australian universities in partnership with Chinese universities, have come under scrutiny from the federal government amid concerns they function as a plank of the Chinese Communist Party’s propaganda effort.
A spokesman for the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade said Senator Payne would decide whether to cancel the institute contracts on a “case-by-case basis”, but all 13 Australian universities were expected to register the contracts for review by the June 10 deadline. China’s Vice President Mr Xi Jinping officially opens RMIT’S Chinese Medicine Confucius Institute on June 20, 2010, at its Bundoora Campus in Victoria.At least four – the University of Sydney, Victoria University, University of Queensland, and the University of WA – have already lodged their contracts with the department for review.

LisaVisentin Don't trust…… China's CCP！！！ Don't trust…… China's…… One Belt One Road！ ……
LisaVisentin this is how ccp invades other countries
sadmeowie LisaVisentin A country tried to promote something to the world which it doesn’t even believe itself lol.
LisaVisentin We can get to know about China in other means, these Confusius Institutes should be shut down asap in other to prevent the infiltration of Chinese spies.
LisaVisentin Honestly speaking, Chinese people know both western culture and their own culture because they don't reject it, while western people can only learn China bad from MSM, the result will be interesting in the long run.
shiroihamusan LisaVisentin Let's shut them down These Confucius Institutes are spy hubs
LisaVisentin They shouldn't have set up Confucius Institute at the first place.
LisaVisentin About time too. Australian leads the world in matters of insidious CCP bullshit. May we all follow the Ozz! Jump aboard the train folks - the CCP carriage is about to be de coupled.
LisaVisentin After devastating cultural revolution, there are nothing valuable can learn from CCP Confucius's grave also has destroyed by CCP while cultural revolution.
LisaVisentin Cut the cancer out!
TiramisuBabe LisaVisentin Why so long? Months. Why not this Friday? Deport all who are associated with Confucius Institutes & their affiliated CSSA chapters. Then close the consulates which run the CI’s. End diplomatic relations w a regime where an ambassador called for missile attack on Australia.
LisaVisentin 🙄️🙄️🙄️🙄️
LaiChi32153792 LisaVisentin Oh no
LisaVisentin China is the most violent dictatorship Never trust China dictatorship Never trade with dictatorship
LisaVisentin Look at the cultural revolution in 1960s, the original Chinese culture had already been distorted by a group of brutal people.
LisaVisentin If the hostility we are seeing in the media is true, then China is a bully. If we do not condone bullying in our society, then any association to such behaviours is simply hypocritical.
LisaVisentin There will be a tit for this tat, from China I’m sure
LisaVisentin People shouldn't have learned Chinese culture from China in the first place CCP has destroyed the Chinese culture on its own, and replaced it with CCP ideology
LisaVisentin So easy to whip up nationalist sentiment and so hard to undo the damage. We don’t seem to be bothered by Alliance Francaise and the British Council or what you need to do to become US emabssador.
LisaVisentin Good job, Australia
LisaVisentin Excellent. These Confucius Institutes are all CCP's propaganda centers to spy on overseas students and teachers and hence greatly damage academic freedom there.
LisaVisentin Let’s hope so
LisaVisentin Great news. Australia’s universities have been thoroughly corrupted by the Chinese Communist Party. I hope the door doesn’t hit them on the arse on the way out. auspol
LisaVisentin It’s best to close. Australians will never learn Chinese. They are not suitable. Chinese culture is extensive and profound. They will never learn Chinese.
LisaVisentin Strengthening freedom of speech is fundamental. There is no need to close down the Confucius Institutes but Universities should ensure they are compatible with academic excellence.
LisaVisentin This vassal.govt has gone completely mad. And they wonder why China chooses not to deal with them
LisaVisentin Good, Confucius Institutes are proven to be fronts for clandestine activities by the CCP and what's worse is that we've known this for a while now and never done anything about it
LisaVisentin Chinese students are under huge surveillance in Western universities, often from other Chinese students and facilitated by the local Chinese embassy. Anything that gives Chinese students more freedom is a good thing.
LisaVisentin Without a control mechanisms in place CCP will be less likely to allow students (the thinkers of the future) to study in democratic societies.
LisaVisentin Great, the quicker it is shut down the better.
LisaVisentin Excellent news. If China wants to run its propaganda schools and spy on overseas students it can, but not on Australian campuses.
LisaVisentin Man left dangling after glass-bottomed bridge shatters Good news much less Chinese spies for ASIO to follow.
LisaVisentin GREAT !
LisaVisentin Stupid. Regressive. Pointless. Yes, less have universities that Foster LESS UNDERSTANDING of the world, and LESS TOLERANCE. Good backward more. The zealots are really in charge now. What will be next!
LisaVisentin Morrison needs to use some diplomacy with China They are our largest trading partner
LisaVisentin So the Australian government doesn't trust its own people to critically think for themselves? And there seems to be no justification for this decision but for the fact that the arrangements are with Chinese universities.
