As the U.S.-China trade war continues, tensions between the two nations have escalated. The Chinese regime is attempting to stir up anti-American sentiment among its people. On Oct. 10, the United States Embassy in Beijing hosted a forum on the topic of educational transformation in modern China. However, local security forces prohibited people from attending the event, using the excuse that China is in a bitter trade war with the United States. Some people who showed up at the U.S. Embassy for the event were taken away by police and held in custody.
The United States Embassy in Beijing often hosts educational events that are open to the general public and free of charge. Experts and academics from various fields share their experiences and thoughts. On Oct. 10, the Embassy hosted a lecture called “Paul Monroe and the Educational Transformation of Modern China.” However, local authorities did not allow the Chinese people to attend the event.
