Según Hanban, el organismo gubernamental dependiente del Ministerio de Educación de China que supervisa todos los Institutos Confucio, había 541 Institutos Confucio y 1,170 Aulas Confucio en 162 países (regiones) a finales de 2019.
En febrero de 2013, la Universidad McMaster de Canadá fue la primera universidad, según los medios de comunicación, en cerrar un Instituto Confucio. En 2023, había por lo menos 131 universidades, 2 gobiernos y 3 junta escolar en todo el mundo que habían roto los vínculos con los Institutos y Aulas Confucio, lo que resultó en el cierre de 130 institutos.
