华府长期指控孔子学院是中国的宣传工具，美国战争部长赫格塞斯（Pete Hegseth）周五表示，战争部已将大学校园内由中国资助、称为孔子学院（Confucius Institutes）的文化中心，列为对美国国家安全的威胁。赫格塞斯也称，战争部在过去两个月来已“系统性地瓦解这每一个组织”。
赫格塞斯于23日表示，由中国资助的文化中心“孔子学院”，以伪装的形式在美国大学中运作，有30所大学出现80个新的宣传组织，这些组织使用不同名称、不同章程，但使命却如出一辙：窃取智慧财产，并渗透美国学生的思想。
赫格塞斯强调，五角大楼已将其列入威胁美国国家安全的机构名单中，并称战争部在过去两个月来已“系统性地瓦解这每一个组织”。赫格塞斯也直言，“到此为止，绝不允许再有下一次”。
《路透社》报导指出，中国驻华盛顿大使馆未回复置评请求。
保守派媒体人道格纳蒂（Eric Daugherty）也在X发文转贴赫格塞斯的相关发言，并直言干得漂亮！
The War Department has designated Confucius Institutes as a threat to our national security. https://t.co/bvMTUBwGei

JUST IN: SecWar Hegseth announces the Pentagon designated CCP-linked Confucius Institutes as NATIONAL SECURITY THREATS and has now officially WIPED OUT 80 disguised Chinese propaganda cells hiding inside 30 American universities BIG WIN! "These Chinese government-backed propaganda cultural programs had infiltrated our nation's universities in almost every state... they came back disguised in new forms, just like DEI does." "80 new propaganda cells across 30 universities had popped up using different names and different charters, but with the same mission: to steal intellectual property and to infiltrate the minds of American students." Now the War Department has labeled them a national security threat and dismantled every one in the last two months. "No more, and never again." BOOM.
