Summary
This document page, stamped 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT', discusses the deterioration of US-China 'Track 2' diplomatic and academic exchanges during the Xi Jinping era. It details how US think tanks are withdrawing from programs in China due to a repressive political atmosphere, a lack of candor from Chinese counterparts who stick to 'talking points,' and the perception that exchanges have become intelligence-gathering missions for the Chinese government. The text highlights that Chinese interlocutors often arrive with specific 'shopping lists' of questions directed by Beijing, rather than engaging in genuine collaboration.
