CHINA-US: CHINESE EMBASSY FUNDING CHINESE STUDENT ASSOCIATIONS IN US

Foreign Policy on February 14, 2018 published an article revealing that the Georgetown University Chinese Students and Scholars Association disclosed in September 2011 that the group received $800 each semester that school year from the Chinese Embassy in Washington, D.C. The group requested an additional $750 each semester from the university on top of the money it received from the embassy. Chinese Students and Scholars Associations (CSSA) first appeared in the United States in the 1980s, as international students from China began attending American universities. Now Chinese students, numbering close to 330,000, comprise the largest group of international students in the United States. There are presently approx 150 CSSA branches in the United States, and many more around the world; the organizations share a name but no central organization or headquarters.   FBI Director Chris Wray said, “The use of nontraditional collectors, especially in the academic setting — whether it’s professors, scientists, students — we see in almost every field office that the FBI has around the country.”
