Foreign adversaries have long understood that American cultural and educational institutions are fertile ground for both individuals and states to whitewash their reputations, acquire valuable intellectual property, and stoke societal divisions within the United States.

The Chinese Communist Party’s engagement includes not only the controversial Confucius Institutes but also billions of dollars’ worth of ongoing research contracts and partnerships. In the decade before Russia invaded Ukraine, Kremlin-linked oligarchs donated hundreds of millions of dollars to prestigious US arts centers and universities. And earlier this year, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines confirmed that Iran provided financial support for violent, disruptive, and antisemitic campus protests against Israel.

Join Hudson for a discussion on what American policymakers can do to protect the integrity of US institutions and prevent foreign adversaries from spreading malign influence within America’s academic, cultural, and political life.
