Excellent article, Shankar.

America must move to better its relationship with XI's China. Unfortunately, we continue to build walls that make both countries less secure and prosperous.

Xi, with a better rapport with Biden and America, may have been less stubborn and open to helpful advice.

Foolishly, America maintains tariffs on Chinese imports, wishes to become self-sufficient in microchips, and is on the verge of banning TikTok.

Many thanks.
