Summary
This document appears to be page 48 of a House Oversight Committee report regarding Chinese government influence on American universities. It details how the threat of visa denials ('black' and 'gray' lists) and restricted access to archives are used to induce self-censorship among American scholars studying China. It cites scholar Perry Link's concept of the 'anaconda in the chandelier' to describe this subtle coercion. NOTE: While the footer format matches document dumps often associated with congressional investigations (some of which covered Epstein), this specific page contains no text related to Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, or their operations.
