On October 26, 2026 in Beijing, China, Pat Noble and I were very pleased to be honored to hold a discussion with a group of PhD students and professors on how we can improve relations between the people of China and the people of the United States. We met at China Communication University. It is the leading university of communication in China. What a sense of courtesy and humor -- we were presented with the "finisher" medal won by "Barak" -- the robot developed by the Chinese smartphone manufacturer Honor, which crossed the 13-mile race in just 50 minutes, 26 seconds, beating all 12,000 human competitors and even surpassing Jacob's human world record, in a half-marathon run, in a run of half-Maran. Lisbon last month, in almost seven minutes.
