Secretary of State Antony Blinken met with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing on Friday as he wrapped up a three-day visit to China dominated by contentious issues and warnings from his hosts of another “downward spiral” in relations. The two met Friday afternoon local time at the Great Hall of the People, an ornate and cavernous building next to Tiananmen Square. Blinken told Xi that President Joe Biden had sent him to China to “seek to deepen areas of cooperation as well as to responsibly manage the differences that we have.” Xi noted that this year is the 45th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between the United States and China, and said the two countries “should be partners rather than adversaries.”

Title IX prohibits "sex-based discrimination at government-funded schools," 'The Hill' reports. .
On April 19, the Biden administration revealed the last of its changes to the federal civil rights law. .
The new regulations expand how sex discrimination is defined, now including
sexual orientation and gender identity. .

legacy of Title IX by clarifying that
all our nation’s students can access
schools that are safe, welcoming,
and respect their rights. , Education Secretary Miguel Cardona, via statement.
The update also reinstates "protections for student survivors of sexual assault and harassment" which were changed under President Trump, 'The Hill' reports.
Catherine Lhamon, the Education Department’s assistant secretary for civil rights, .
says the new rules will help schools
respond to "all sex discrimination,
not limited to sexual harassment.".
Biden's final changes to Title IX
are sure to be condemned by Republicans
who view transgender protections as failing
to protect cisgender women and girls.
The new changes will take effect Aug. 1.
The Biden administration has not yet finalized an additional rule pertaining to sports eligibility. .
Since 2021, 24 states have passed laws prohibiting transgender student-athletes from playing on

Bitcoin Rallies, on Hopes of Renewed Interest , Among Mainstream Investors.
On March 4, the price of Bitcoin broke $65,000,
bringing it closer to returning to an all-time
high reached in November 2021.
NBC reports that the latest rally has been driven
by hopes that the launch of bitcoin exchange-
traded funds will expand bitcoin's pool of buyers. .
In 2024, the cryptocurrency has
gained over 48%, rapidly approaching its
record intra-day all-time high of over $68,000.
In January, Bitcoin ETFs were first approved by
the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). .
The SEC said the approval of the ETFs were meant
to make it easier for investors to gain exposure to
Bitcoin without having to actually own the digital coins.
NBC reports that the world of crypto is also banking
on a potential rally following a technical event
known as "halving" scheduled to occur in April.
This event will see the rate of supply for new bitcoin
to decline, which could cause the value of the
cryptocurrency to increase if demand remains unchanged.
Some mainstream investment experts have
still urged caution when it comes to investing
in the controversial cryptocurrency.
With equities, you own a share
of a company that produces goods
or services, and many also pay
dividends. With bonds, you get
a stream of interest payments, Vanguard statement, via NBC.
Commodities are real assets that meet
consumption needs, have inflation-
hedging properties, and can play
a role in certain portfolios, Vanguard statement, via NBC.
While crypto has been classified
as a commodity, it’s an immature
asset class that has little history,
no inherent economic value,
no cash flow, and can create
havoc within a portfolio, Vanguard statement, via NBC
