Criticism of Confucius Institutes unfair

The Department of Education in Hunan province sought to terminate its cooperative relationship with the Toronto District School Board on Oct 23 over a Confucius Institute program.

The Chinese side said it deeply regretted the unfounded suspicions and opposition that it has encountered with respect to the cultural project.

This is not the first time the country's efforts to set up a Confucius Institute has met with unfair criticism.
