On August 18, 2011, then-U.S. Vice President Joe Biden met with Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping in Beijing.
The Chinese Communist Party believes that Sino-US relations will improve if Biden takes power. On Saturday (2), Chinese Communist Party Foreign Minister Wang Yi offered an optimistic view of the upcoming U.S.-China relationship.
In an interview with overseas state-owned media, Wang said the Chinese government sees a “new window of hope” to improve relations with the next U.S. administration.
“U.S.-China relations have come to a new crossroads, and a new window of hope is opening.” “We hope the next U.S. administration will return to rationality, resume dialogue with China, normalize bilateral relations and restart cooperation,” Wang said in the interview.
Wang Yi has consistently accused the Trump administration of engaging in a “new cold war” with Beijing and is now eager to restart dialogue with what he expects to be a new U.S. administration.
Beijing has been frustrated by the Trump administration’s restrictions on the Communist Party’s activities in cyberspace, the South China Sea and many other areas. If Biden were to scale back such restrictions, such a shift would be seen by Beijing as a return to “sanity.
To push Biden in this direction, the Communist Party is making new concessions in areas such as trade and climate change. William Evanina, director of the National Counterintelligence and Security Center (NCSC), said in an Aug. 7 statement that intelligence officials assess that the Chinese Communist government would prefer that Biden win the election. victory.
Biden is widely expected to take a softer approach in his dealings with the Chinese Communist government than the Trump administration.
Wang Yi, on the other hand, made it clear that Beijing has no intention of improving human rights. “The United States should respect the social system and development path chosen by the Chinese people, and respect the legitimate rights of the Chinese people to pursue a better life.”
Tom Rogan, a commentator for the Washington Examiner, noted that the point is that the Chinese people have never had a “choice” and that Beijing’s definition of a better life includes the destruction of fundamental rights and its international treaty commitments in Hong Kong. Also, the Communist Party continues to treat Uighur Muslims the way the Soviets treated political prisoners and the Nazis treated Jews. Can Biden turn a blind eye to such terror?
Logan emphasized that U.S. interests require Biden to reject the CCP’s toxic olive branch. If Biden tolerates the CCP’s ambition to dominate the international order, Americans and the world will ultimately be less free, less secure, and less prosperous as a result.
Last month, Evanina had warned again that efforts to exert diplomatic influence against Biden associates have been seen to be on the rise, and that “when I say this, we are beginning to see that kind of malign foreign influence, plus diplomatic influence, or a steroid, is now playing out across the country, not just against the people who are coming into the new administration, but also those around them.”
