This week, a United Arab Emirates spacecraft, the Mars orbiter Hope, successfully entered the orbit around Earth's nearest planetary neighbor.

Campus 'Confucius Institutes' have been repeatedly accused of spreading Chinese Communist Party propaganda in the United States for years. Trump took action on this issue last year, following the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic. Biden is now turning back the clock and reversing this policy, which makes no sense.

China has intensified its pandemic misinformation campaign after independent trials found the much-feted Chinese vaccine to be highly ineffective.
