In the midst of a white-hot race to find a new leader of the Conservative party and UK prime minister, former chancellor Rishi Sunak has vowed to close all 30 Confucius Institutes in the country.
He has also accused his competition for the top job, Liz Truss, of being “too soft” on China.
Talking to the World at One show on BBC Radio 4 on July 25, former hopeful Tom Tugendhat and chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee said that the institutes are not a reflection of “real Chinese history”.
