WASHINGTON - US agencies on Thursday promised stricter monitoring of China-funded Confucius Institutes, cultural centres at US universities that have been criticised for serving as propaganda arms of the Communist government in Beijing.

"Our report details how China - known for its one-sided dealings in trade sometimes - uses similar tactics in its unfair treatment of US schools," said Senator Rob Portman, a former US Trade Representative and the sub-committee's chairman.
