What can Biden do to contain China?

Published: April 28, 2021, 4 a.m.

Who are the enemies of the United States?

China.

Who will pay for the U.S. team building?

The whole world.

This is the diplomatic strategy that Biden put together under various constraints.

Originally, Biden’s best strategy was to concentrate its efforts on China, which is the most threatening to the United States, and let China pay for the U.S. team building. However, China’s current attitude toward the United States is extremely tough, so Biden can only adjust the target of collecting protection money from other countries.

The biggest problem with this strategy is how to squeeze money from allies while forcing them to become anti-China pawns?

After Biden came to power, relying on the traditional alliance between the EU and the United States, he organized a round of gang fights on China’s Xinjiang issue. However, after China’s angry counterattack, the EU quickly backed down.

The reason is that in addition to China's tough counterattack attitude, the most important thing is that the United States has also imposed sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 project and imposed retaliatory tariffs on EU countries that levy digital taxes on American technology companies.

The U.S. now has no decent bargaining chip to attract its allies to participate in the anti-China chorus. More importantly, the U.S. recently announced the unconditional withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, which has made allies even more wary against their big brother. After all, the big brother is merciless and can abandon its allies at any critical moment. 

China Explained will show you that because of China’s continued success in industrial upgrading, technological innovation and realizing its huge potential, it is an unstoppable process. The inevitable rise of China may feel intimidating and some simply reject it. Don’t be. China’s rise is part of the new global trend unlike what we have seen in the past one hundred years. Embrace the change and seize the opportunity.
