Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen, after 10 hours of meetings with Chinese officials, said the two sides would pursue “more frequent communication” despite their deep differences.

The #US - #CN relationship has been deteriorating for years and had gotten off the rails recently over significant points of tension — including the war in Ukraine, a Chinese spy balloon that flew over U.S. territory and was shot down by the American military, and the two countries’ escalating exchange of restrictions on trade.

China and the U.S., Still Adversaries, Are Talking. That’s a Start.

The problem with having degrees for everything is that it becomes the entry requirement for most careers. This puts people who don’t go to university for whatever reason at a significant disadvantage. It’s completely insane that one generation could walk into a career aged 16 & learn on the job, whilst another has to take out a large student loan & do an extra 5 years in education to do the exact same job.
