1174: What happened in the two-hour phone call to the Communist Party of China? JedBabbin, @WashingtonTimes,

Does Biden care? No, but the Quad nations are becoming an alliance to contain China; first meeting will be important. It’s now in a condition where it needs to exercise its puissance—maybe join US Navy for exercises anywhere in the Indian Ocean or the Western Pacific. Confucius Institutes: a brilliant idea from China—they invest in US universities, incl the fanciest, and influence the curricula. The investments are to prevent criticism of China. What Biden did last week was cancel one f Trump’s orders requiring schools to report if they're in bed with China. The US is still the big dog on the block; we have significant responsibilities, incl with the Quad— India, Australia, Japan, the US. Biden spent over two hours on the phone with Xi Jinping, but naught with Israel. Biden personally doesn’t like Netanyahu. Biden is an overtly anti-Israel president. https://spectator.org/china-biden-xi-jinping/
