Rep. Mike Waltz: Chinese Interests Are Buying American ‘Boarding Schools, Private Schools’ With ROTC Programs – By Susan Jones (CNS News) / Feb 3, 2023
(CNSNews.com) – As a Chinese spy balloon drifts over the United States, there are growing concerns down below about companies with ties to Communist China buying property and exerting influence all over the USA.
And it’s not just American farmland: “Chinese-backed private equity are buying up boarding schools, private schools, and secondary education all over Florida, New York, California, from what we can tell,” Rep. Mike Waltz (R-Fla.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee, told “The Ingraham Angle” Thursday night.
“And many of them have junior ROTC programs. So this is a double win for the Chinese Communist Party. One, they’re now putting Confucius Institutes basically into our elementary schools and high schools and having propaganda platforms to the next generation of America, including our military leaders going through the ROTC program.
“And they get to send their elites there, you know, at probably a reduced cost. So this is a double win for them.
“And, Laura, this is part of the broader assault of the Chinese Communist Party buying up America, whether it’s our farmland, it’s in our educational system. They have hundreds of thousands of students in our universities. Of course, we have seen the billions pouring into endowments, researchers in our labs that are stealing our I.T. We have got to wake up as a country.”
