J.D. Vance and Elon Musk re: China

Lucas Kunce

This last week, J.D. Vance went on Fox News to proclaim that the administration is going to do something about American middle class kids getting replaced in American universities by Chinese oligarchs.

His comments centered on how the oligarchs can “pay full freight” and so universities are taking their kids instead of American kids.

The comments are a part of the administration’s larger foreign policy focus on China.

And while the administration is highlighting all of the aggressive ways it is going to combat China in the foreign policy realm, they are barking up the wrong tree, because the competition with China isn’t based in foreign policy.

Yet Trump wants to eliminate the Department of Education and nothing is being done to make college more affordable.
