Developments in Washington have signaled a new Red Scare on college campuses. First, the House introduced a bill which would ban student visas for all Chinese nationals. And then shortly after that, a Congressional committee sent letters to the presidents of several universities demanding they hand over information on their Chinese students. This week, Amanda is joined by historian Mark Tseng-Putterman, and the two discuss these alarming developments, how U.S. foreign policy directly leads to attacks on Asian American communities, and parallels between the McCarthyite tactics of the Cold War and the targeting of Chinese people in the U.S. today.Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.#BreakThroughNews
