Bloomberg: Confucius Institutes to be designated as Foreign Mission of the PRC
Sources close to the U.S. Department of State told Bloomberg that the Confucius Institute U.S. Centre was to be designed as a foreign mission of the PRC. Shortly after the news was published, the State Department made the official announcement on Thursday, August 13. Such action further escalates the tension between China and the U.S.
Confucius Institutes with heavy presence in universities and colleges around the world, have been established for more than ten years, dedicated to promoting Chinese culture. However, many Western countries recently question the ulterior motive of the institutes using their teaching as a tool to expand political influence. The Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations (PSI) of the U.S. released a report last year that the institutes are used as a propaganda tool controlled by China and have too much control over the institutes in America. Universities and colleges are called on to close their Confucius Institutes.
If the State Department of U.S. requires Confucius Institutes to register as “foreign missions”, it means that the institutes are “substantially owned or effectively controlled” by the Chinese government. According to the Foreign Missions Act, these organisations need to register all personnel roster and their property holdings in the U.S. with the U.S. State Department. They have to follow administrative requirements and to be ruled that similar to embassies and consulates.

US Lists "National Association for China's Peaceful Unification" as a Foreign Mission
The US State Department announced that they had listed National Association for China's Peaceful Unification (#NACPU) as a Foreign Mission, and had also withdrawn an agreement which promotes the local corporation between China and the US.
Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of States, said in a statement that the United Front Work Department under CCP has control on NACPU in Washington. The mission of this CCP department is to eliminate the threat to CCP governing, and to promote and expand its influence overseas. As a result, the US State Department has to label NACPU, to let outsiders recognise that the information is from Beijing.
After being a foreign mission, NACPU is required to submit a list of information to the US, including employee lists and their assets owned or leased.
According to the introduction in the Chinese United Front Work website, a group of Diaoyu activists founded NACPU in the Washington area in February 1973. They aim at insisting on the One-China principle, opposing all words and practices that split China's land and sovereignty, promoting the exchange and communication in various areas across the Straits, uniting Chinese abroad, and safeguarding the rights and interest of the Chinese. They also play a role in anti-independence and unification activities overseas.

China not only monitors the speech of oversea Chinese students, but also coerces them to as internet undercover agents
(29 Oct) LI TaoTao (LI), a aged-20 Chinese student currently in US-Washington, has received lots of video calls from China PRC-National Security Bureau (NSB) in midnights since Jun 2020.
LI came from a northern city in China and studying aboard in United States now. He always criticized the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) on his social medias accounts, i.e Instagram, twitter and a discussion platform for talking about China democracy.
In Jun 2020, NSB firstly approached him for the purpose to threaten him not to talk about CCP on social media anymore, by endangering his parents who are residing in China. NSB confiscated the passports of his parents indeed.
A call record was furnished by LI to the Voice to America (VOA), the content is about that NSB called LI soon later and requested LI to retain one of his three social media accounts by monitoring the speech therein, NSB told LI that he could be free of his criminal liability by doing so. NSB told LI that his offence is “Anti-Chinese”, but the NSB caller was never able to clearly explain the offence in detail committed by LI. LI opined it was unreasonable that he only criticised Chinese government on the social media, that was irrelevant with “Anti-Chinese”.
VOA found there are many cases similars with LI in the United States. The Chinese government has closely monitored and threatened many Chinese citizen in the United States for a long period of time; which raised the awareness and concerns from the US Governments.
In 2018, local governments in China have increasing their involvements in the overseas affairs of Chinese students or activities, causing by Central government requested local governments to strictly manage its own local citizens in 2005; which was shared by CHEN Yonglin to VOA. CHEN is a former China diplomat who sparked fears of diplomatic incident through his defection to Australia in 2005.
On 28 Oct 2020, US Government officially announced that NACPU, an Organization controlled by China, was categorized as “foreign mission”. Before that, Washington had already classified many Chinese medias in US and Confucius Institutes US Centers as “foreign mission”.
In the same week of 28 Oct, US’s News-week publicized the result of its 4-months investigation that: Around 600 Organizations in US are confirmed in connection with the overseas influenced activities arranged by China. These Organizations attempted to create US community splits and incite crisis before the US election 2020. Professionals described such election related-activities revealed by News-week were just the tips of the iceberg.

国保不仅监控中国留学生言论，还胁迫他们“戴罪立功”当卧底
中国留美学生李陶陶（化名）在海外发表批评北京的言论后，老家国保的骚扰电话就没断过。国保要他“戴罪立功”，汇报海外民运和留学生动向。尽管对北京发表任何不利声音都可能成为当局的靶子，但像李陶陶这样公开披露安全部门提出卧底要求的异见者却是罕见。
