President Joe Biden’s decision to dismantle a successful program aimed at curbing Chinese IP theft and espionage is a jaw-dropping betrayal of common sense and of U.S. interests.

My colleague Tom Rogan explains at greater length more of the details of why the decision is so counterproductive, accurately calling it “a triumph of manifestly delusional ‘wokeness’ over exigent needs of national security.” And as reported by the Washington Examiner’s Jerry Dunleavy, Assistant Attorney General Matthew Olson said the “mere perception” that the so-called China Initiative was somehow driven by racial bias was reason enough to kill the program even though he saw no indication that bias had anything to do with it.
