Last week marked the end of U.S.-China engagement. The two powers may now be sliding toward a severance of relations and even outright military conflict.Tang left the family home at 18 to attend college and is a cancer researcher who had never traveled outside China before coming to the U.S. to do cancer research as part of a one-year program, Negin said.
Negin said Tang left her job in June as a visiting researcher at UC Davis’ Department of Radiation Oncology because her lab was closed during the COVID-19 pandemic. She planned to return to China.
