Until the Covid-19 pandemic, robust scholarly exchange was a hallmark and sometime ballast of U.S.-China relations. Today, as pandemic restrictions subside, the resumption of exchange continues to lag, with understandable concerns about not only cost but also safety clearly paramount for many scholars in both countries. What is lost to established and junior scholars by the present state of affairs, where U.S.-China scholarly exchange remains just a pale shadow of its former self? And how can we navigate back to earlier dynamics, against the backdrop of fierce competition between the two countries as well as continued tightening of political space in China?
