In CMM this morning Jeffrey Gil (Flinders U) writes on Confucius Institutes, where they come from, what they do and whether they should keep going in Australian universities. “Universities need to make changes to introduce more transparency and strengthen their control over CIs,” he writes.

Dr Gil is the author, of Soft Power and the Worldwide Promotion of Chinese Language Learning: The Confucius Institute Project.

Flinders University does not host a CI.
