The first Confucius Institute established in Europe will close in June, following a decade in operation, after an agreement between the Chinese government-backed language and culture body and Stockholm University that expired at the end of 2014.
The announcement made by the university on Jan 7 came as the latest blow to the institute, which to many foreigners is their first introduction to China, following US universities raising questions about it last year.

There are 86 confucius institutes operating at universities in the US
they should all be closed
