Relations between China and the United States are not a difficult problem to solve. Countries should respect each other, and not meddle in the affairs of other countries.

With regard to trade, each nation has the right to decide whether to impose tariffs, as the US has done with China, but then it is also up to China to decide whether to restrict certain exports.

After all, each country has to protect its people’s interests.

A new page for US college admissions

The fainting couch came in useful following the US Supreme Court decision in the case of Students for Fair Admissions vs Harvard rejecting race-conscious university admissions.

The cries from the couch were about racism against people of colour (not including Asians, however). With regard to racial preference, America has been there, tried that for decades and found it no longer a preference.
