Confucius Institutes

Confucius Institutes are educational centers established by China to promote Chinese language and culture abroad. Typically linked to Chinese universities, they offer language classes, cultural activities, and academic cooperation to foster understanding between China and other countries. While they aim to build cultural bridges, some critics raise concerns about their influence on academic freedom and transparency. Overall, they serve as platforms for cultural exchange and international collaboration, helping people around the world learn about Chinese language, history, and traditions.
