American private schools owned by Chinese government-linked groups would not be allowed to operate junior military programs if a bill introduced Monday by Rep. Mike Waltz (R-FL) succeeds.
The proposal, obtained by the Washington Examiner, would bar private schools with ties to the Chinese Communist Party from starting or continuing Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps, or JROTC, programs.
At least one Chinese-owned private school currently runs a JROTC program, and Congress does not yet know how many more exist. Waltz asked the Pentagon in January to assess how many private schools with JROTC programs had foreign owners, the Washington Free Beacon reported last month. A desire to give their younger children a greater chance of acceptance at U.S. universities has driven some of the Chinese interest in private schools, Chinese state media reported.
