🚨 The REAL Reason Trump Is Cracking Down On Harvard… And It’s Nothing To Do With Ultra-Woke Students And Staff – Daily Mail
President Donald Trump has frozen some $2.6 billion in federal funding, revoked the visas of foreign students, and is poised to axe Harvard’s tax-free perks.
He increasingly appears alarmed by Harvard’s opaque links to America’s main competitor, China, and a web of financial, scholarly and military work that ultimately connects to its communist leaders.
Under the radar, Harvard has trained members of a Chinese paramilitary group, partnered with its military universities, and maybe even helped a forced organ harvesting program, House Republicans say.
‘For too long, Harvard has let the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) exploit it,’ a White House official told Reuters
The school has ‘turned a blind eye to vigilante CCP-directed harassment on-campus,’ they added.
Perhaps the most shocking of Harvard’s ties to China are its links to a state-run paramilitary group that’s rounded up Uyghurs and other minorities and caged them in China’s forced labor camps.
Officials from the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (XPCC), have since 2020 attended training sessions on public health run by Harvard’s China Health Partnership.
The XPCC was that year slapped with US sanctions for its role in alleged human rights abuses against Uyghurs and other Muslim ethnic groups in Xinjiang, according to the Daily Mail.
Still, Harvard kept holding workshops until last year, says the Department of Homeland Security.
FORCED ORGAN HARVESTING:
Lawmakers also queried Harvard’s links to organ harvesting in China, where religious minorities have allegedly been executed on a massive scale to collect body parts for transplant.
They highlight seven research projects between 2022 and 2024 when Harvard and Chinese researchers cooperated on studies about transplanting kidneys, livers, hearts and other organs.
Experts have since 2014 warned of large numbers of jailed dissidents, particularly Muslim Uyghurs, Falun Gong members, and Christians, being executed for their body parts.
There are even reports that some victims are alive when their organs are removed.
ARMING THE ENEMY:
Harvard also finds itself in the middle of an arms race between two of the world’s biggest military powers.
The college has taken funding from the Pentagon and spent it on research projects with China-based academics who could well be stealing America’s military secrets, the lawmakers wrote.
Harvard scholars have teamed up with Tsinghua University, Zhejiang University, and Huazhong University — which all undertake defense work for China’s military, says the letter.
Projects have covered materials for artificial intelligence (AI), polymers and alloys used in warplanes, and microelectronics — which could all benefit China’s armed forces, it adds.
‘Harvard researchers should not be contributing to the military capabilities of a potential adversary, says the letter from the House Select Committee on China.
