Since Biden came to power, he has spoken to the leaders of many countries, leaving out Xi Jinping, which has aroused the concern of international public opinion. As for when Biden will speak with Xi Jinping? The White House spokeswoman said on Feb. 2 that the U.S. would first talk to its allies and partners later.
Since Biden took office on January 20, the top brass of the Communist Party of China has been shouting at the Biden Administration, from Xi Jinping shouting across the air not to engage in a “new cold war” and “bullying the weak”, to Ambassador to the United States Cui Tiankai appealing to the U.S. government, to the so-called U.S.-China negotiation manipulator Wang Qishan shouted that the U.S. and China should focus on cooperation and manage differences.
On February 2, Yang Jiechi, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), delivered a video address to the National Committee on U.S.-China Relations, repeatedly emphasizing that the U.S. and China, as the world’s top two economies, should unite and cooperate, and criticizing the Trump (Trump) administration for trying to push the U.S.-China decoupling and even engaging in a new Cold War.
Facing frequent shouting from China, White House spokeswoman Jen Psaki said Biden hopes to build relations with Beijing through “patience. She hinted that there is no possibility of talks in the short term.
Reuters reported that Biden has spoken with many world leaders since taking office, including Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone in late January, leaving out Xi Jinping. White House spokeswoman Leonardo Psaki said on Feb. 2 that she could not say when Biden would speak with Xi.
She said the new Secretary of State Antony Blinken has more layers of engagement with China since he took office. But she said the U.S. would first have to talk to allies and partners before engaging with China.
Ned Price, the new State Department spokesman, also said at a press conference the same day that there has been limited cooperation with China on a number of issues, including climate change. The United States wants to ensure that it keeps pace with its allies, and then …… can expect to engage with China in a number of areas.
Radio Free Asia quoted scholars as saying that the U.S. has strategically identified the Chinese Communist Party as a competitor will not change, but in terms of tactics, that is, practices, Biden will have adjustments.
Since Biden took office, although he has not spoken with Xi Jinping, Biden has signed a series of executive orders overturning many of the Trump Administration‘s executive orders. These include taking down the State Department’s website on topics such as the Chinese Communist threat and 5G, and banning the federal government from saying “China virus” and delaying the ban on investment in Chinese Communist military companies.
The Biden administration did not take any substantive countermeasures against the frequent harassment of Taiwan by Chinese military planes and military exercises in the South China Sea, but only said it would take “strategic patience”. At the same Time, Blinken is rare to call Tsai Ing-wen as “Taiwan’s elected representative”, and stressed the need to prudently support Taiwan.
The outside world believes that Biden is verbally tough on the Chinese Communist Party in dealing with the U.S.-China relationship, but is acting in a so-called “strategic patience”. Whether this evolves into a policy of “appeasement” in future practical actions is worth watching.
