In the Media: Jacques deLisle
- Confucius Institutes, such as the one being created at Widener University, are funded in part by a Chinese government agency and have stirred some controversy in the academic community. Penn Law Professor Jacques de Lisle, a specialist in Chinese law and politics and director of the university's Center for East Asian Studies, did not want to comment on the specifics of the Widener center. In general, he said, some American academics are concerned about the institutes "because of China's pattern of using cultural elements for political purposes." (9/10/2009).
