Rogin mentions in the book visiting the Confucius Institute at his alma mater George Washington University and registering for a Chinese Language 101 class . He found that there was nothing nefarious going on there and it was basically just a group of people learning Chinese. Of course there were allegations of politically untoward conduct at Confucius Institutes on other campuses and the book mentions that the University of West Florida closed theirs.
Chaos Under Heaven also mentions that around 30 out of the over 100 Confucius Institutes on American campuses had been closed. That number might be higher now given that the book was published last year, but it doesn't sound like all or even most of them have been thrown out of American universities as you allege.
I dunno how many C.I. have been closed. My understanding is most-a them, on account-a the fact that DOD funds are being withheld from colleges that host them.
I think it's disingenuous to claim that these are anything other than arms of the CCP.
I'll add "Chaos Under Heaven" to list. TY for recommendation.

Cancel that last comment about adding book to list.
I *already* bought it. Sheesh on me!
