《盐湖城论坛报》(Salt Lake Tribune)3月2日报道,州众议院当天通过一项决议案,要求该州的两所大学关闭校内尚未关闭的孔子学院,理由是孔子学院可能帮助中国共产党的间谍活动,对美国国家安全构成威胁。犹他州的州众议院之前曾通过了一项参众两院联合决议案,但在州参议院没有付诸表决的情况下,州众议院星期二夜晚再度表决,以69票比1票,单独以州众议院名义通过了《保护犹他高等教育机构免受中国共产党影响的决议》。
As soon as men decide that all means are permitted to fight an evil, then their good becomes indistinguishable from the evil that they set out to destroy.
China is a sovereign nation and should be treated as an equal partner by the US. While China prohibits its citizens from free access to outside information, and shuts out all the US social network tools, its so-called Confucius Institutes, WeChat, and propaganda TV channels are allowed to operate freely in the US. It's utterly disgusting and unfair. The US government has failed to protect our interests.
High five to Utah's House for a great job! Let's correct the past mistakes, one at a time.

Totally agree.
美国犹他州州众议院3月2日通过一项决议案,要求该州的两所大学关闭校内尚未关闭的孔子学院,理由是孔子学院可能帮助中国共产党的间谍活动,对美国国家安全构成威胁。
据美国之音今天报道说,防范中共影响,犹他州众议院通过决议要求关闭该州孔院。消息称,美国犹他州众议院通过决议案,要求关闭该州由中国政府资助的孔子学院。
《盐湖城论坛报》(Salt Lake Tribune)3月2日报道,州众议院当天通过一项决议案,要求该州的两所大学关闭校内尚未关闭的孔子学院,理由是孔子学院可能帮助中国共产党的间谍活动,对美国国家安全构成威胁。犹他州的州众议院之前曾通过了一项参众两院联合决议案,但在州参议院没有付诸表决的情况下,州众议院星期二夜晚再度表决,以69票比1票,单独以州众议院名义通过了《保护犹他高等教育机构免受中国共产党影响的决议》。
报道称,目前尚不清楚州参议院为何没有就这项决议案举行听证。参议院主席之前对这项决议案表示过担忧,表示将审视议案内容是否会影响到犹他州与中国的贸易关系。
州众议院通过的决议案建议犹他州继续经营孔子学院的犹他大学(University of Utah)和南犹他大学(Southern Utah University)在2022年12月1日前关闭孔院。
犹他大学发言人在给《盐湖城论坛报》的一份声明中说,学校已经计划在2023年中期关闭孔院,由于这项决议案的通过,已经决定提前大约六个月关闭孔院。
据该报道,南犹他大学发言人之前表示,如果决议案获得通过,该校将落实决议案的要求,“开始准备关闭孔子学院。”可目前决议案只是在州众议院过关,尚不清楚南犹他大学是否还会这样做。
