I am amazed at how people, especially Christians in FREE countries, are so willing to bow to Communism as a viable form of government. It is truly shocking. It is no wonder that people are deceived by the anti-christ. They are primed and ready to accept governmental control over their lives and welfare!
Here is the controversy surrounding Confucius Institute. They admit that it is a propaganda campaign of the Communist Government of China!

Controversies
Government officials, educators, and journalists have disagreed over Confucius Institute programs.
Members of the
Swedish parliament expressed concerns that the Institute provides a platform for the Chinese government.
[6] A declassified intelligence report by the
Canadian Security Intelligence Service says, "Beijing is out to win the world's hearts and minds, not just its economic markets, as a means of cementing power."
[7] The
Government of India rejected the idea of Confucius Institutes in schools, and called them "a Chinese design to spread its
soft power – widening influence by using culture as a propagational tool."
[8][9]
When the
University of Sydney was negotiating to establish a Confucius Institute, some professors called for it to be segregated from the
Chinese studies department, and Jocelyn Chey criticized it "as a propaganda vehicle for the Chinese communist party, and not a counterpart to the
Goethe Institute or
Alliance Française."
[10] Faculty at the
University of Pennsylvania decided
academic freedom outweighed the advantages of a Confucius Institute; G. Cameron Hurst III explained, "There was a general feeling that it was not an appropriate thing for us to do. We feel absolutely confident in the instructors that we train here, and we didn't want them meddling in our curriculum."
[11] After school board members of
Hacienda La Puente Unified School District opposed establishing a Confucius Institute, history teacher Jane Shults described their criticisms as "...
jingoistic,
xenophobic, not overly rational and it’s really shades of
McCarthyism all over again."
[12]
Journalists have commented on the use of
Confucius to name these institutes. The
Asia Times Online lamented that the Chinese government was using
Confucianism as "an assistant to the Chinese
god of wealth (and a representative of Chinese diplomacy) but not a tutor for Chinese souls."
[13] The Economist noted the irony of the
Chinese Communist Party using Confucius to name the institute, saying that "Mao vilified Confucius as a symbol of the backward conservatism of pre-communist China. Now the philosopher, who lived in the 6th century BC, has been recast as a promoter of peace and harmony: just the way President
Hu Jintao wants to be seen.
Li Changchun,
a party boss, described the Confucius Institutes as “an important part of China’s overseas propaganda set-up”."[14] A
China Daily editorial accused opponents of hypocrisy for not calling "
Goethe Institutes,
Alliances Francaises or
Cervantes Institutes as propaganda vehicles or tools of cultural invasion".

The division lines are being drawn. Those who think straight believe that God, and God alone, is their source, provider, strength and salvation while those who truly are mentally deranged believe that their source, provider, strength and salvation lies in government. Those who do not trust in God will be tested and if you choose poorly, you will pay for eternity.
