This new policy follows Biden’s previous limits on high tech exports to China, as well as the CHIPS act and portions of the Infrastructure bill specifically housed on making America less dependent on Chinese tech. He has also maintained a portion of the Trump initiated tariffs that have been judge to be effective.
Collectively, this is a much strong stand against China than any prior President – Democrat or Republican.
I frequently read here how Biden is doing Beijing’s bidding. What is the basis for that, given the increasingly tough stances Biden has been taking throughout his Presidency? The policies and their impact are clear.
The Chinese reaction to Biden clearly shows they are distressed by his actions… look at what happened on the Blinken visit.
The evidence is strong here. And look at results; Biden has kept China from supplying arms to Russia for the Ukraine invasion, largely due to US financial threats.
What actions has Biden taken that deferred to Chinese global aims?
Biden isolated Russia to rally and expand NATO and protect the wishes of the Ukrainians to build a free market economy rather than being occupied by Russia again.
What does Russia bring to China that China wants? The only thing the Russians have to sell is energy – which China does not want from them. Russia is an ailing dependent whom the Chinese refuse to rearm because the Chinese are more concerned about the US and their other markets than taking care of Russian
I cannot see any connection between Biden’s energy policy and China. Elucidate please.
The Chinese are taking advantage of the fire sale on Russian oil right now. But the question was did Biden drive Russian into China’s arms – and the notion that Biden’s support for Ukraine was an effort serve Chinese global aims remains ludicrous.
There’s a serious effort to restore that industry in Biden policy. It should be larger but he cannot get that through Congress.
But the important thing is let the Chinese manufacture high volume/low profit margin items while we keep the high margin tech stuff out of their hands.
They’re going to be replaced by India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, all of whom have growth potential similar to China but also have a much younger population.
The pint of this thread is that when one does what we are admonished not to try, there’s a lot of evidence that Biden is not pro-China. The only reason to tell people not to try is to prevent them from seeing the full picture
