BEIJING - The move by the Trump Administration to designate China's Confucius Institute as a foreign mission is aimed at both demonising and stigmatising normal operations of the language centres, an avenue of cooperation between both sides, Beijing said on Friday .
The Confucius Institute is funded by the Chinese government and the Trump Administration, in designating it as a foreign mission on Thursday, said the centres were part of China's propaganda operations in the US. Earlier this year, nine Chinese media outlets were also designated as"foreign missions" after Washington accused them of furthering China's propaganda aims."Stop politicising these educational exchange programmes, interfering with normal cultural exchanges between China and the United States, and damaging mutual trust and cooperation between China and the US," said Mr Zhao.
Nationalist tabloid Global Times denounced the move to have Confucius Institute centres register as foreign missions, saying it will have an"extensive and long-term impact" and cause universities to be hesitant about cooperating with them.
