Her analysis suggests that shrinking academic exchange and geopolitical tensions are diminishing the deep, experience-based understanding the US has historically held. Additionally, Chen is contributing to discussions on the ongoing challenges faced by Chinese-Americans, examining how their success stories continue to provoke prejudice and fear, and the persistent fight against discrimination.
