I will not spend time rehashing the litany of bad, sometimes reprehensible, Chinese government decisions, policies and behaviours relating to its treatment of dissidents and people in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, its Taiwan policies or its unfair economic policies. I am on the record forcefully... https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3143068/how-us-can-craft-bold-and-positive-china-agenda-benefits-all?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3143068/how-us-can-craft-bold-and-positive-china-agenda-benefits-all?utm_source=rss_feed Fri, 30 Jul 2021 17:00:05 +0000 US-China relations are at their worst since the Tiananmen Square protests in 1989.

In the United States, even before President Donald Trump took office, the consensus in Washington was moving towards scepticism of Chinese power in the... https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3117465/how-bidens-america-and-china-can-turn-page-rocky-relationship?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3117465/how-bidens-america-and-china-can-turn-page-rocky-relationship?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 13 Jan 2021 17:00:18 +0000 Every morning, I awake to US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo excoriating the Chinese government, and China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs excoriating Pompeo. The catastrophic effects of the coronavirus pandemic demonstrate the dangers of these policies. China’s failure to cooperate during the onset of the virus, coupled with America’s massive reduction of its health care presence in China because of both governments’ focus on strategic competition, has potentially cost thousands of American and... https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3085241/us-china-strategic-competition-has-worsened-impact-coronavirus?utm_source=rss_feed https://www.scmp.com/comment/opinion/article/3085241/us-china-strategic-competition-has-worsened-impact-coronavirus?utm_source=rss_feed Wed, 20 May 2020 17:00:15 +0000 When I hear discussion that the United States should limit visas to Chinese STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) students, I think of Ming Hsieh, who came to America to study engineering at the University of Southern California. After graduation, he invented a high-speed biometric fingerprint system that now supplies the Department of Homeland Security, the FBI and other agencies.
