U.S. President Joe Biden talks about the Communist China pneumonia (COVID-19) outbreak at the White House on Jan. 26, 2021.
Biden signed a new executive order Tuesday (26) that bans the federal government from saying “China virus. Although there is no doubt that the earliest outbreak of the Chinese Communist virus (COVID-19) was in Wuhan, China, and that “China” cannot be equated with “Asian,” the Biden Administration believes that the term “China virus The Biden administration has argued that the term “China virus” would discriminate against Asian Americans.
Biden has signed dozens of executive orders in less than a week since he was sworn in as president of the United States on Jan. 20. On Tuesday, he signed four new executive orders that, in addition to banning federal departments from using the name “Chinese virus,” also condemned racism and xenophobia among Pacific Islanders and claimed to have the Justice Department work with local communities to further combat crimes involving racial discrimination.
Recently, the Chinese Communist Party military sent a large number of military aircraft to harass Taiwan‘s airspace for dozens of times in successive days, and announced that it would soon hold large-scale military exercises in the South China Sea. In the face of the Chinese military’s aggressive actions in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, the Biden administration did not take any substantive countermeasures, but declared that it would adopt “strategic patience” in U.S.-China relations. The outside world questions that Biden is too weak in dealing with U.S.-China relations, and the so-called “strategic patience” is feared to evolve into a policy of “appeasement”.
On Monday, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki spoke at a news conference about U.S.-China relations, describing the U.S. strategic competition with China as “the signature feature of the 21st century. She also said the Biden administration would work with allies to maintain a certain tough posture toward China and approach the relationship with China with “patience. We want to be patient strategically,” she said.
In response, Kyodo News pointed out that “strategic patience” was a so-called “strategy” for North Korea under the former Obama administration, in which the U.S. pressured North Korea while patiently waiting for changes, but the actual result was that North Korea was allowed to further develop its nuclear weapons. This strategy has been widely criticized by the U.S. right. Pusaki also served as spokesman for the State Department during the Obama administration.
