Jessica Chen Weiss, Michael J. Zak Professor for China and Asia-Pacific Studies at Cornell University and Director of the Cornell Levinson Program in China and Asia-Pacific Studies (CAPS), contributed to the new report by CSIS Trustee Chair in Chinese Business and Economics, titled "U.S.-China Scholarly Recoupling: Advancing Mutual Understanding in an Era of Intense Rivalry". The United States and China have avoided outright scholarly decoupling, but the over-securitization of every element of the relationship is restricting a more comprehensive recoupling of ties, a vexing situation that is stifling research, limiting overseas study, reducing mutual understanding, and harming the national interest of both countries. The report explains the benefits of U.S.-China scholarly cooperation to the two societies and the world at large, identifies the obstacles to greater exchanges, and outlines practical strategies for overcoming these challenges. In her article "U.S.-China Academic and Scientific Exchange Is in the National Interest", Professor Weiss argues that "legitimate safeguards against espionage and the transfer of sensitive technologies must avoid discouraging the vast majority of commercial and scientific activity and people-to-people ties that enhance rather than detract from national security." Weiss also argues that "nongovernmental Track-2 discussions between experts on both sides of the Pacific are more essential than ever to understanding each other’s concerns, red lines, and room for negotiation, especially as a complement to official channels of communication, which can often be stilted or more intermittent".
