The California congresswoman discussed the Chinese Communist Party's theft of American intellectual property via higher education in an interview with Fox News Digital. President Biden recently rolled out the red carpet for Chairman Xi Jinping, ready to make nice with the regime responsible for reprehensible human rights violations and an ongoing campaign to undermine democracy around the world. Gov. Gavin Newsom cleaned up the streets of San Francisco, admitting publicly that the beautification was purely for the benefit of the visiting leaders. After the high-profile pull asides, Biden and Xi reported that they agreed to reestablish military communications, cooperate on the flow of fentanyl chemicals, and work together on reducing climate change. President Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping walk together after a meeting during the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation gathering in Woodside, California, on Nov. 15, 2023.

Nearly a year to the date since their last meeting, U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping will sit down Wednesday in the San Francisco Bay Area to try and put a floor under ties that have plummeted to fresh lows in recent months. When Biden and Xi meet on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in San Francisco, both will have a laundry list of concerns to discuss. From military-to-military lines of communication, Taiwan, and the South and East China Seas to tough U.S. semiconductor export controls, the manufacture and export of fentanyl, and artificial intelligence threats -- all will be on the table during several hours of discussions. But don't expect the talks -- the pair's seventh interaction since the start of the Biden administration but just the second in-person meeting -- to yield any dramatic breakthroughs.
