Every nation has spies in the US, especially in our schools and government institutions. That people think such facts are “conspiracy theories” should be the real news story.

This really sounds more like a University club to keep people loyal to the government back-home, rather than an espionage operation.

Are they mutually exclusive, though? A 'loyalty club' can lead to some types of espionage, especially in an academic setting where the club members have access to some of the brightest minds in America and the research they're working on.

And the US probably does the same in other countries.

Who cares? Conversation is a 2 way street. These groups could just as easily be used to introduce new ideas to the next generation of Chinese leaders.

Did you read the article? It is for Chinese only and it is under strict ideological control.

It is also about sending a message. If you do not quack like a duck, you will get into trouble.
