Ban Chinese Communist Party Access to U.S. Military Students Act of 2024
This bill prohibits the U.S. Department of Defense from using Tutor.com for military education services. It requires the DoD to stop offering Tutor.com services within 30 days and terminate all current contracts with the company, which was acquired by a Chinese-owned entity (Primavera Capital Group, linked to ByteDance/TikTok). The ban also prevents future DoD contracts with Tutor.com if it remains owned by Chinese entities, citing concerns that Chinese law requires companies to share user data (including location and session content) with the Chinese government. The policy directly affects military personnel and their families who previously used Tutor.com for educational support.
