For the seventh time now, I am spending a week in July at a Chinese university with several other Americans to speak about economics to Chinese students.
Independent-minded Chinese journalists, though unable to challenge the Communist Party's monopoly of power, had space to expose government misdeeds.
These all fueled hopes that economic reform and market transformation would encourage a freer Chinese society.
Americans involved in politically sensitive research-regarding Tibet or Xinjiang, for instance-have long risked being denied entry into the PRC. But recently the U.S. and China have engaged in a new variant of "Visa wars," with Washington the aggressor, revoking permission for Chinese university professors and others to visit America.
Despite the sometimes disconcerting stares that still greet Westerners, most Chinese are friendly.
The U.S. is concerned that Chinese scholars are working with their government's intelligence services.
Although the dealings between the American and Chinese governments sometimes leave me pessimistic, the attitudes of younger Chinese give me a glimmer of hope.
