World Brand Confucius Institutes
The heads of the 210 Confucius Institutes are calling for the institutes to be built into a "world-acknowledged brand."
China has set up 210 of the non-profit Confucius Institutes worldwide in a move started in 2004 as part of the 'building of a harmonious society' through individual self-refinement in manners and taste.
"We should strengthen cooperation to build up a world acknowledged brand of Confucius Institute, to better promote Chinese language and culture," says the president of Rutgers State University.
The vice-chancellor of University of Nairobi of Kenya says " the founding of Confucius Institutes met the demand of surging worldwide enthusiasm for Chinese language and culture."
Beijing Foreign Studies University says Chinese universities are speeding up the assist process.
Hmmm…I wonder.
Would China accept Jesus Institutes if they were non-profit?

When will China apologize to the rest of the world for transmitting Confucius teaching ? Mao apologized to Japan when Japan established relationship with China.
This willfull transmission of destructive philosophy to contaminate the world cannot be tolerated. All people who do not wish to be enslaved by China must rise up to fight back this imperialistic conquest of the peaceful people of the world.
