DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act

This bill restricts U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding for colleges and universities that maintain relationships with Confucius Institutes or specific Chinese entities linked to China's military or defense sectors. It defines "Chinese entities of concern" as institutions involved in military-civil fusion, defense industry work, or receiving funding from China's military leadership. Starting 12 months after enactment, schools with such relationships would lose eligibility for DHS funds unless they terminate those ties. The bill directly affects higher education institutions hosting Confucius Institutes or partnering with the defined Chinese entities.
