So I have been this stream of Tweets from people about what a bad move it is to leave the WHO, gives China a win, and US needs international institutions and all these Tweets are high on ideals and clichés but lack realism about what has happened either in the institutions 1/n
or the landscape that created those institutions. I am personally very torn about the decision to leave the WHO. Think about the institutions more broadly: they were constructed in a post WWII world with specific focus on what to achieve and how to achieve it. Since 2/n

I had seen so much commenting on this I had to read the key parts of the legislation. The legislation deserves a short thread and my read of what Cotton is doing. Let me start while the China engagement crowd is so comically wrong about the level of CCP influence 1/n
on US college campuses, I almost completely agree with them about the importance of providing visas to Chinese students for many reasons. So here is how the legislation reads to me. The first point is exactly as is described halting student visas to Chinese nationals in STEM 2/n
Here is where it gets interesting. The remaining key clauses of the legislation as described by Sen. Cotton's office are a raft of measures that would likely sail right through Congress and attract lots of bipartisan support. For instance, visa waiver for members 3/n
