Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley pressed the Department of Homeland Security Thursday over its withdrawal of a rule proposed by the Trump administration to require U.S. schools to disclose their partnerships with Confucius Institutes, which the Republican says the Chinese government uses as a “propaganda tool” within the U.S.

“Withdrawing the rule is cause for serious concern and weakens our ability to detect and deter foreign influence efforts by the communist Chinese government,” Grassley, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, wrote to Alejandro Mayorkas, the secretary of homeland security, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
