The American researchers said that from tariffs to human-to-human exchanges, the Biden administration has yet to initiate any substantive rollbacks, and that among the three aspects adversarial, competitive and cooperative of US-China relations as described by Biden s top diplomat Antony Blinken, competition is dominant while cooperation has yet to ramp up.

Its founder appears to have been a shill for Communist China (via The National Pulse):
Universities in the U.S. have come to rely on revenue from Chinese students, who contributed $14.9 billion to the economy in 2018 alone. But growth has leveled off, after years of double-digit increases – for reasons ranging from concerns about gun violence to Trump administration policies on China.
Now institutions are wondering if a Biden administration might do enough to reverse the trend of a thinning pipeline.
