“The slashing of science funding, combined with the increased scrutiny scientists of Chinese descent have faced in the United States, has boosted Beijing’s efforts to attract top-tier talent and cement its position as a center of global science.”

China is attracting American scientific talent, especially in STEM fields, partly due to funding cuts and immigration restrictions under President Donald Trump.

The climate-friendly ride, part of a fleet assembled to shuttle delegations to the gathering in Brazil, sent a clear signal: China is making inroads in Latin America.

“There’s been a whole lot of running around and activity with nothing substantive to show for it. We’re probably worse off than had we done absolutely nothing.”

President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping’s trade truce avoids an open rupture in US China trade relations but analysts say it’s more of a de-escalation than progress.

“China gave some ground, but the clear dynamic is how Chinese threats have gotten the US to back off a series of proposed restrictions. Xi has created more safe space for China’s economic system and its efforts to achieve greater global leadership.”

US President Donald Trump emerged from his meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping beaming, labeling the conversation “truly great.”

Thrilled to be featured by @Bloomberg on how the US-China trade dynamics still hang on a very fragile truce. Any deal will be vulnerable to being suddenly undone by either side.

Scott Kennedy cautions that the emerging truce between the two nations may rest on a shaky foundation.

China finally, though unsurprisingly, officially announces Xi’s meeting with Trump. Why be the last to report good news?
President Xi Jinping will meet with President Donald Trump in Busan, the ROK, on October 30 local time to exchange views on bilateral relations and issues of mutual interest. Heads-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable role in providing strategic guidance for China-U.S.
