This chapter focuses on allegations that Confucius Institutes monitor, control, or even suppress Chinese students at British universities. It argues that many of these accusations not only lack credible evidence but are also often based on inaccurate information or distorted facts. Such claims contribute to a broader campaign of disinformation and misinformation aimed at justifying calls to ban Confucius Institutes in the UK. As part of their host universities, Confucius Institutes’ interactions with Chinese students are shaped primarily by the institutional priorities of the universities themselves. Drawing on the author’s experience at Lancaster University, this chapter illustrates how the Confucius Institute has actively championed efforts to enhance the student experience and support Chinese students’ well-being. It explores the common challenges faced by Chinese students, the structural gaps in student services within British universities, the underlying causes of these gaps, and how the Confucius Institute at Lancaster has helped to bridge them—drawing on first-hand accounts of the author’s involvement in managing critical student incidents.
