They claim to promote Chinese culture, but critics say they are a vehicle for Beijing to spread propaganda and curtail free speech.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/19\/75510911-12526631-image-m-3_1694889087617.jpg\" height=\"892\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>BAN:\u00a0It is understood that Gillian Keegan &#8216;s Education Department has agreed \u2013 on condition that the teachers are replaced by staff from Taiwan<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/16\/19\/75510921-12526631-image-a-1_1694889033646.jpg\" height=\"424\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>PROPAGANDA: Wellington College in Berkshire, where a Confucius classroom teaches students Chinese culture\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Critics point to educational resources used by Confucius classrooms as evidence of propaganda.<\/p>\n<h3>READ MORE:\u00a0Chinese &#8216;spy&#8217; at the heart of Parliament<\/h3>\n<p>One, called Chinese Buddy, carries videos featuring a cartoon of a dancing President Xi. Another popular learning tool is Chairman&#8217;s Bao, a news service for children that includes articles about tourists enjoying trips to the region where minority Uighurs are persecuted.<\/p>\n<p>An intelligence source said: &#8216;We must get serious about the threat we face from the Chinese Communist Party \u2013 it&#8217;s systemic, wide-ranging and unrelenting. Taiwan is our ally, and we have to support them in any way we can \u2013 their teachers would do a fine job here at our universities and schools.

King Charles was one of a very small group who had knowledge of the arrests before they became public knowledge last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>It is understood he was informed as part of his national security briefings. A source said: &#8216;Only about ten people knew the details and one of them was the King.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear if Charles was told before his Coronation in May, which was attended by China&#8217;s Vice-President Han Zheng.<\/p>\n<p>The former aide has strongly denied spying for China.<\/p>\n<p>A source said: &#8216;The King is of course kept abreast of government matters in the same manner as the late Queen.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-12526631\/Chinese-teachers-British-classrooms-replaced-recruits-Taiwan-Commons-spy-scandal.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese teachers in British classrooms are to be replaced by recruits from Taiwan after Commons spy scandal&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":222349,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
