As reported by the Free Beacon, an investigation into a protest at Harvard University revealed that anti-CCP protestors were placed on disciplinary probation while no action was taken against a pro-CCP agitator who assaulted them. Chairman John Moolenaar expressed concern over this treatment, stating, "This is yet another example of Harvard’s appallingly unequal treatment of protestors based on the speech they support."

Congresswoman Elise Stefanik commented on foreign influence in American education, saying, "Once again, Harvard has proven to be completely corrupted by adversarial foreign influence." She emphasized her commitment to eliminating such control from campuses.

Chairwoman Virginia Foxx criticized Harvard's selective disciplinary standards: "The only consistent part of the university’s disciplinary standards is that they’re always applied selectively to the benefit of favored groups."

The incident occurred during Chinese Ambassador Xie Feng's speech at Harvard. Protestor Cosette Wu was forcibly removed by a graduate student with no security authority. Another protestor, Tsering Yangchen, reported being followed by the same individual.

Documents show that while Ms. Wu and Ms. Yangchen faced probation for their actions, the graduate student faced no repercussions and received an apology from Harvard.
