Mr. Biden\u2019s heart seems to be torn between two lovers, China and Iran ?. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seriously, it is often hard to read politicians or to follow them, even when they seem familiar or friendlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They can dance in weird ways sometimes, with one step in one direction and the other in another direction.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They may say all the beautiful sentences in the world, but their actions do not seem to match their words.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Bambi saying so? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Because Mr. Biden pledged to \u2018meet the China\nchallenge and ensure the American people win\u2019<\/em>. Beautifully articulated\ngoal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would have been even more beautifully meaningful\nhad it not been contradicted by the following news: Mr. Biden withdrew his predecessor\u2019s\nrule on schools\u2019 disclosure of ties to China (https:\/\/www.reginfo.gov\/public\/do\/eoDetails?rrid=131811<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bambi does not understand the internal politics of our neighbour, but he seems to have proceeded with this decision without consulting Congress. He must have his reasons to be in a rush\u2026 Perhaps he does not see the potential danger of ideologies infiltrating his own country, along with true science and artistic exchanges. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How could you be that naive when you are a seasoned politician? Is this possible? Even the province of NB struggled with the similar issue (https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/news\/canada\/new-brunswick\/confucius-institute-programs-china-school-1.5259963<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another possibility may be that it is a sign that the USA cannot be the winner of the Chinese-American battle (… of ideas, at least). Could it be?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Bambi may be wrong, she finds this both odd and worrisome. Indeed, she knows from a second life elsewhere that wars begin with ideas\/ideologies… and the rest can become even uglier. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
