I think if you ask most taxpayers how they'd like their money to be spent, these programs would not make the cut. But that's not all. NIH is also canceling research grants that were going to universities in China. They canceled a grant for $1.7 million going to the Peking University in Beijing for the, quote, china Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study. Close quote. Once again, I think American taxpayers would prefer to focus on things here at home, including their own retirement savings, rather than sending millions of dollars to China to study health and retirement security in a country which is our chief geopolitical rival.
