It was probably a reference to the Confucius Institutes which are non-profit organizations in colleges, universities and high schools all over the world. The institutes are affiliated to the Ministry of Education of the People's Republic of China and are officially there to provide funding and support for Chinese language and cultural learning. Comments have sometimes been made about the institutes use for political propaganda. There is a particularly high number of them located within the USA. Universities and other institutions in the USA with Confucius Institutes include:Alfred UniversityArizona State UniversityAuburn University at MontgomeryBroward County Public SchoolsBryant UniversityCentral Connecticut State UniversityCleveland State UniversityCollege of William & MaryColorado State UniversityCommunity College of DenverConfucius Institute at China InstituteConfucius Institute at Columbia UniversityConfucius Institute for Business at State University of New YorkConfucius Institute in AtlantaConfucius Institute in ChicagoConfucius Institute in IndianapolisConfucius Institute of Chinese Opera at the State University of New York at BinghamtonEast Central Ohio Educational Service CenterGeorge Mason UniversityGeorge Washington UniversityGeorgia Regents UniversityGeorgia State UniversityHouston Independent School DistrictKennesaw State UniversityMiami UniversityMiami Dade CollegeMichigan State UniversityMiddle Tennessee UniversityNew Mexico State UniversityNorth Carolina State UniversityOld Dominion UniversityPace UniversityPennsylvania State UniversityPfeiffer UniversityPortland State UniversityPrairie View A&M UniversityPresbyterian CollegePurdue UniversityRutgers-the State University of New JerseySan Diego State UniversitySan Francisco State UniversitySt. Cloud State UniversityStanford UniversityState College of Optometry-State University of New YorkState of WashingtonState University of New York at BuffaloStony Brook UniversityTexas A&M UniversityTexas Southern UniversityTroy UniversityTulane UniversityUniversity at Albany, State University of New YorkUniversity of AkronUniversity of Alaska AnchorageUniversity of ArizonaUniversity of California-DavisUniversity of California-Los AngelesUniversity of Central ArkansasUniversity of ChicagoUniversity of DelawareUniversity of IdahoUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-ChampaignUniversity of IowaUniversity of Hawaii at ManoaUniversity of KansasUniversity of KentuckyUniversity of MarylandUniversity of Massachusetts Confucius Institute at BostonUniversity of MemphisUniversity of MichiganUniversity of MinnesotaUniversity of MissouriUniversity of MontanaUniversity of Nebraska-LincolnUniversity of New HampshireUniversity of OklahomaUniversity of OregonUniversity of PittsburghUniversity of Rhode IslandUniversity of South CarolinaUniversity of South FloridaUniversity of Southern MaineUniversity of TennesseeUniversity of Texas at DallasUniversity of Texas at San AntonioUniversity of ToledoUniversity of UtahUniversity of West FloridaUniversity of Wisconsin-PlattevilleValparaiso UniversityWayne State UniversityWebster UniversityWest Kentucky UniversityWesleyan CollegeWestern Michigan UniversityXavier University of Louisiana(List source: Confucius Institutes Around the Globe)
