U.S. President Joe Biden went to the State Department on April 4 to deliver his first foreign policy speech since taking office, emphasizing that he would counter China’s evil actions, but Chinese pro-democracy activist Wang Dan hit the nail on the head, stressing that Biden positioned China as a “competitor” rather than a “threat” and that in the future “The word “confrontation” will not appear in U.S. policy toward China, “which is expected and for which the U.S. and the West will pay a price.
President Joe Biden went to the State Department on the 4th to give his first foreign policy talk to the diplomatic staff after taking office, referring to the part of China, he said the United States will directly face the challenges posed by China to the United States, the United States will counter China’s coercive economic practices, but also to counteract China’s attacks on human rights, intellectual property rights and global governance.
But Biden also stressed that the United States would be prepared to work with Beijing when it is in the national interest to do so, and Wang believes that Biden’s formal positioning of China as a “competitor” rather than a “threat” could be seen as a return to “appeasement” policy toward China. Biden’s formal positioning of China as a “competitor” rather than a “threat” is a declaration of a return to “appeasement”.
According to Wang, the positioning is absurd, as “competition” means that both sides will abide by the rules of the game, “but does the Chinese Communist Party have any intention of abiding by international rules?” Wang Dan said that a person who does not abide by the rules can only be a saboteur, a troublemaker, “how can it be a competitor.”
Wang Dan lamented that the word “confrontation” will not appear in U.S. policy toward China in the future, and that “negotiation” and “dialogue” will become the mode of interaction again; he stressed that this is to be expected. The U.S. and the West will pay a price for this,” he stressed.
