Confucius Institutes are a bit more than merely promoting Confucianism. This was an interesting video by a westerner who is in China (often) and thus has to walk a fine line, but was able to subtext exceptionally well: [VIDEO]
The other day I found a video about the "cultural war" between Falun Gong and Chinese govt., in the form of two disguised fronts (Shen Yun and Confucius Institute, respectively) within the US soil. This was made by a Western guy who's associated with neither of them. It's quite interesting. [VIDEO] Here in Japan, I see that a few large private universities are affiliated with Confucius Institute, and I have seen a Shen Yun ad on YouTube. The cultural war is certainly going on here too.
This is a massive brainwashing that they've done. That's hard to reverse without directly pointing that out. Due to "political sensitivity" that won't be. (People are afraid of standing up to china) A few things that are going on: (Check up on Serpentza+laowhy86 videos) [VIDEO] - The Confucius Institute is pushing propaganda campaigns in Unis and in public (Their adverts are spammed everywhere) - In China, they do have people that are willing to turn you in for "violations" (non-government.. citizens) -- See the video: they'll even try to interrupt talks in the US to "correct the record" - Forums. Again SerpentZA has found that they are collecting together in Chinese only forums to doxx and harass. Death threats are common there.
