The quarantine hotels aren’t “decent places to stay”. They are a jail for 2 weeks where you can’t leave the room and crappy food is brought to you by minders dressed up as spacemen. The hotels themselves may be 3-4 star range (The Shanghai Hotel by where I live is one of them) but certainly not a place or experience you’ll enjoy.

2. Citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Venezuela, and North Korea, among others, are still subject to a long standing travel ban that targets them by nationality.
3. Furthermore, the US federal government has the authority to quarantine anyone coming into the US. And states and counties can do so as well to anyone coming into, leaving, or living in their territory.

In particular, Hawaii's "deport'em" policy sounds awfully Chinese-y.
"Two passengers who arrived from California on Monday were sent back to the Mainland after airport officials found they had no destination on Maui."

Summer school classes tend to be the basic intro level courses, although a number of universities are offering more courses now than in previous summers, generally all online. There's unlikely to be much of interest unless someone still needs to satisfy a general education requirement or can find something of interest for a free elective.

HKG transits to mainland China are currently banned, there is no guarantee that this ban would be lifted by August.

Realistically, where can a person from mainland China go for the fourteen days on the way to the USA, ideally where a visa would not be needed or some sort of electronic visa could be approved automatically? Note also that if a COVID-19 test is required prior to travel, this could be difficult to obtain in China.

It appears that UA/DL have been approved to fly to China.
Other sources say UA will fly SFO-ICN-PVG, DL SEA-ICN-PVG. Initially 4 weekly, eventually 6 weekly.
Six Chinese carriers will do one weekly each. So it will be 6:6.

Similar to the idiom "shoot yourself in the foot". ( self inflicted)
The phrase comes from a phenomenon that became fairly common during the First World War. Soldiers sometimes shot themselves in the foot in order to be sent to the hospital tent rather than being sent into battle

BEIJING (Reuters) - Delta Air Lines (DAL.N) has received approval from the Shanghai government to resume flights from June 18, a company spokeswoman said on Monday, paving the way for the carrier to resume services to China after months of suspension due to COVID-19.
It is still awaiting for the decision from the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) on how many flights it can resume and when it can do so, the airline said.
