, Joe Biden, says China is his country’s “biggest competitor”. Yet China’s centrality in the calculations of foreign-policy experts in Washington and throughout the West is hardly matched by the interest shown in academia. Despite China’s efforts to promote interest in the language—and a surge of attention to it in Western schools a few years ago—enthusiasm for China studies at university level remains lacklustre. Fear of China, and restrictions imposed by it, are in part to blame.
There are several reasons why students in the West are lukewarm about focusing attention on China. The first is one that has always plagued this academic field—a high barrier to entry in the form of a language so different from Western tongues, requiring the memorisation of hundreds of characters in order to acquire basic literacy. Those who study Chinese at school often learn only enough to discover just how challenging mastery of the language is.
For those who stick at it, studying China is getting ever tougher. Minxin Pei of Claremont McKenna College in California calls it “the hardest it has been since the end of the Maoist era”. Gone are the relatively open days of the late 1990s and 2000s. After Xi Jinping took over as China’s leader in 2012, the country began tightening restrictions on work there by Western academics. Archives and databases in China became harder to access; visas and interviews more difficult to arrange.

China is a beautiful country, pity its leader is a warmonger.
The U.S. even expels Chinese reporters as diplomats. You are good at playing double standards.
This makes JoeBiden happy!
Hmm huh? While be sold-out we and all the 3rd world countryside we bombed to not take part in the 4th Industry age. Only gathered it upon more inequalities fueled by our tax. Do you few really imagine this will work? AskingForAFriend
Translation: After Xi Jinping took over as China's Leader in 2012, the country began going backwards.
It's not bad for China against being colonized and shattered by Western academics.
And just like realDonaldTrump, it's MAGA Chinese style! A good reason not to bet on China. History will reward this observation. The Roman empire fell from within so did most of Ancient Chinese Dynasties.
To an authoritarian education is just an instrument of control and anything that introduces liberty of thought into education is just a method to undermine control. 'Education is a weapon, whose effect depends on who holds it in his hands and at whom it is aimed.' ―Joseph Stalin
Since he took over in2016, Trump administration tightened restriction of Chinese scientific cooperation with United States. They even inspect your mobil when Chinese enters border. It’s reported immigration officers began to cross questioned Chinese if and why they become CCP.
