‘China Initiative 2.0’: US crackdown on Chinese scholars intensifies
The US government has intensified its crackdown on Chinese scientists and researchers, a campaign described as 'China Initiative 2.0' by immigration lawyers and activists. This effort is seen as more aggressive than the original 'China Initiative' launched during President Donald Trump's first term. Robert Fisher, a former Assistant US Attorney and partner at Nixon Peabody, stated the current phase is part of a new era in the campaign.
