Kaiser Kuo (host of the Sinica Podcast) returns to continue a discussion with Jess and Teen from almost exactly one year ago about the connection between anti-Asian racism in the US, and America policy towards China. In that year, facts on the ground have changed significantly. To what extent does Biden represent a shift away from the aggressive Sinophobic policies of Trump? And does combatting anti-Asian racism act as a brake on the most aggressive and dangerous approaches to US-China policy?
