国防部将孔子学院列为国家安全威胁：称两个月内已拆除80个改名机构
华盛顿——美国国防部10月23日宣布，已将孔子学院列为威胁美国国家安全的机构。国防部长 Pete Hegseth 当天在战争部官方账号发布的视频中说，孔子学院是中国政府支持的文化语言机构，国会此前已对其作出限制，但同类机构此后改名换姓重新出现在美国大学校园里，国防部过去两个月已系统性拆除了这些机构。
Hegseth 在视频中说：「结果发现，80个新的宣传细胞在30所大学冒了出来，用的是不同的名字、不同的章程，但使命相同：窃取知识产权，渗透美国学生的思想。」他说，国防部在过去两个月里运用本部门的影响力，「系统性地拆除了每一个这样的组织」，并已将这些改头换面的机构列入威胁美国国家安全的机构名单。
孔子学院由中国政府资助，在美国大学开设中文课程与文化工作坊。多年来，美国政界持续质疑其对学术独立与国家安全的影响。据 Washington Examiner 报道，美国国会在2018年限制设有此类项目的学校获得联邦资金后，绝大多数孔子学院已经关闭；Hegseth 说，限制之后同类项目以新名称重新出现，促使战争部采取这次行动。
Hegseth 还对大学喊话，要求校方保持警惕、不要让这类影响卷土重来。他说：「这要给任何企图窃取我们辛苦发明的成果、或让我们的年轻人反对自己国家的国家一个教训。我们受够了。不会再有，永远不会。」
据路透社报道，中国驻美国大使馆未立即回应其置评请求。国防部未在这次视频宣布中公布80个机构的具体名单。
Defense Department Designates Confucius Institutes a National Security Threat, Says 80 Rebranded Groups Dismantled in Two Months
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Department of Defense announced on October 23 that it has designated Confucius Institutes as a threat to U.S. national security. In a video posted by the Department of War's official account the same day, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said the Chinese government-backed cultural and language institutes had returned to American university campuses under new names after Congress restricted them, and that the department has systematically dismantled the organizations over the past two months.
"It turns out that 80 new propaganda cells across 30 universities had popped up using different names and different charters, but with the same mission: to steal intellectual property and to infiltrate the minds of American students," Hegseth said in the video. He said the Department of War had, within the last two months, "systematically dismantled every single one of these organizations using the leverage that we have here at the War Department," and had added the rebranded organizations to its list of institutions that threaten U.S. national security.
Confucius Institutes are funded by the Chinese government and offer Mandarin classes and cultural workshops at U.S. universities. They have long drawn scrutiny in Washington over academic independence, foreign influence and national security. According to the Washington Examiner, after Congress in 2018 restricted federal funding for schools hosting the programs, almost all Confucius Institutes closed, citing the Government Accountability Office; Hegseth said similar programs later emerged under different names, prompting the department's action.
Hegseth also addressed the universities directly, urging vigilance. "Let this be a lesson to any country trying to steal our hard-earned inventions or turn our young people against their own country," he said. "We're done with that. No more, never again."
According to Reuters, the Chinese Embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The department did not publish a list of the 80 organizations in the video announcement.
