Also, you appear to be referring obliquely to Cultural Marxism[0], a right-wing conspiracy theory originally created by Nazis linking Western intellectualism and academia to a secret Communist or Marxist agenda. In the context of the linked article, the Trump-era neo-McCarthyist program described, that bogeyman of the Jewish/Marxist academic has been replaced by that of the Chinese operative, with the concern being intellectual property theft, rather than Marxist indoctrination.
It's a thought-provoking article. You should read it and consider providing a substantive comment.

This part isn't a conspiracy theory, it's a well documented and well-studied phenomenon. Marx and his intellectual descendants have massively shaped the modern world. And that includes the Western-aligned societies that stridently rejected Communism during the Cold War.
Even the conspiracy theory has evolved over time... the modern versions you hear about on Fox News have changed a bit from the old Nazi stuff.
The number of universities offering any sort of heterodox economics in the US is in the low tens. As somebody with an economics degree, I’d love for you to prove that the average western university even teaches about Marxism at all.
My alma mater still has an undergraduate course on Communism whose professor had a reputation of being a staunch but not uncritical Marxist
