President Joe Biden recently landed a victory in panda diplomacy with the announcement that China is sending two giant pandas to the National Zoo in Washington, D.C. The news generated considerable interest from political consultants, who are thrilled that the pandas' return means they will no longer be the laziest ones in town.I'm happy they're back.
Politicians have long been riled up about the need to expand internet access in rural areas, but heaven forbid someone from China helps build the routers to do it.And most egregious, the Biden administration has damaged U.S.-China trade relations through its banning of TikTok. Proponents argue this measure is necessary because the app's algorithm supposedly brainwashes users and manipulates them into believing all sorts of Chinese propaganda.
