Stanford accepts $58 million in Chinese cash while pushing global human rights

while pushing global human rights
CHRISTIAN SCHNEIDER - SENIOR COLLEGE FIX REPORTER •JULY 2, 2020

At a San Francisco gala in March 2014, Stanford University President John Hennessy accepted an award for the school’s “Advancement in U.S.-China Relations.”

The award was granted by the Committee of 100, a group of Chinese Americans in business, government, academia and the arts, and the school boasted about it on its website.

Stanford began accepting Chinese graduate students back in the 1970s. In 2009, the school signed a contract to open a Chinese government-funded Confucius Institute, with the goal of promoting Chinese culture and language. In 2012, under Hennessy’s oversight, the Stanford Center at Peking University opened, billed as a “hub” for Stanford students in China.

Yet these entanglements with China were happening as the Chinese government continued its oppressive human rights abuses, including discriminating against ethnic minorities that make up around 10 percent of the country’s citizens.
