March 2, 2025 (EIRNS)—The Wall Street Journal has reported that, among the victims of the AID budget cuts, is the Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI), a raging anti-China operation almost entirely funded and run by neo-con operations in the U.S. The Journal reports that ASPI had to “stop work on China related research and data projects—worth about $1.2 million,” 70% of their China-bashing work. They add that members of Congress depend on ASPI’s “analysis.”
