A Thorn By Any Other Name

China's Confucius Institutes are horrible propaganda and spy centers with no place in democratic societies. China will address the problem by re-naming them:

Chinese media is reporting that China will rebrand its Confucius Institutes amid backlash from critics, including the U.S. intelligence community, which has said the institutes act as international propaganda centers for the Chinese Communist Party.

The Chinese Communist Party could rename them Happy Ending Cultural Spas and they'd still be horrible propaganda and spy centers.
