Neden Önemli?
The US has been increasingly competitive with China in various sectors, including academia and technology.
A Republican-led congressional committee focused on US competition with China has issued a public call for American academics to come forward if they think they missed out on jobs in favour of “applicants from China”. The committee urged those with “first-hand” information or supporting documentation to contact it through its whistle-blower email. Critics, including Kaiser Kuo, host of The Sinica Podcast, called the move a “disgrace” and warned it could fuel anti-Chinese sentiment, especially at a time when racial profiling is driving talent away from the US.
