Much of the routine trade and investment between China and America is entirely appropriate and in America’s interest. But inserting the Chinese Communist Party into America’s pay-to-play system and its economic development strategy isn’t just crossing a line. It’s a leap into an abyss of stupidity.
Just make the university 100% chinese students who pay full tuition. If native IL residents complain, just call them racist. When they steal american technology, just call Trump a xenophobe. See how this works? problem solved!
