$200 Million Tax Dollars Will Be Sent To China (money, federal government, program)

[JamesGTAIV]

Good thing we don't waste money in this country.

Grants.gov - Find Grant Opportunities - Opportunity Synopsis

Reading the link, it looks like the total is only $200k, with grants up to $50 per award.

And while they grants would be used in China, they may be awarded to US applicants.

Now, whether the state dept needs to be spending money for cultural exchange at all may be debatable. I'm sure the PRC gov't would rather apply it to the principal on our debt.

If I could change the thread title I would. It's a ridiculous program.

Just one of many unconstitutional ways the federal government squanders our hard earned dollars.
