WASHINGTON – President Joe Biden’s nominee to run the CIA told lawmakers Wednesday that if confirmed he would intensify America’s national security approach to counter China. “Out-competing China will be key to our national security in the days ahead,” Will Burns said in his opening remarks to the Senate Intelligence Committee. “That will require a long-term, clear-eyed, bipartisan strategy, underpinned by domestic renewal and solid intelligence,” the former career diplomat added. https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/24/cia-nominee-burns-calls-china-an-authoritarian-adversary.html Biden Says China Will ‘Eat Our Lunch’ on Infrastructure President emphasizes need for new transportation spending the day after two-hour call with Xi Jinping https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-says-china-will-eat-our-lunch-on-infrastructure-11613063295 President Joe Biden announced the establishment of a China task force during his first presidential visit to the Pentagon on Wednesday, signaling his intent to make countering Beijing’s rise a top priority for the military. https://www.politico.com/news/2021/02/10/biden-pentagon-task-force-china-468413 Trump's trade war on China was a failure in every possible way The Biden administration plans to review the phase one U.S.-China trade deal, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Friday. Based on publicly available data, it's hard to imagine they'll find anything other than a debacle. Driving the news: China isn't even close to fulfilling its end of the deal — having come up 42% short of its commitment, Chad Bown, a fellow at the Peterson Institute for International Economics, reported late last week. The phase one deal was meant to be the Trump administration's reward for U.S. farmers, manufacturers and other business owners who had been bludgeoned by Trump's tax on American businesses via the trade war's tariffs. https://www.axios.com/trump-trade-war-china-failure-6111a412-9458-438e-ab2f-a4b7481f89e3.html In following Trump, Biden has the same advantage Obama had in following Bush. Not screwing up massively is good enough to look good by comparison. The US's China policy is no different. I'm encouraged that Biden is taking a methodical approach based on the findings of his various agencies in terms of how to deal with China. It's not going to be the unilateral approach Trump took. It will likely include the cooperation of allies, the ones Trump alienated with his idiotic tariffs. I expect regional pressure, to the extent it can be brought to bear after China bolstered its regional economic alliances while Trump was golfing, will play a role.
When I see a VP take his son to China and son comes back with 1,000,000 a month for something he doesn't even have experience in, and that Son's Father is named "Joe", I attribute it to CHINA JOE being the most perfect name for it. Already sweating about future impending China Collusion Impeachment I see. Better start building up those forum defenses. this is a nice good first effort I suppose.
Trump put China, N. Korea and Iran in their place, and we see here from this OP that biden himself is claiming that Trump failed on the trade war with China? LOL! These libs are certainly living in an alternative universe, which might be where they all go to if as they say the World will disintegrate-end in 9 or 11 years.
Please stop relying on right wing media sources. They're lying. https://www.factcheck.org/2019/10/trumps-claims-about-hunter-biden-in-china/
Yep. Our trade deficit is the highest on record. N. Korea still has nukes. And Iran is enriching to 60%. Only a Trumper would think that's winning.
My ears perked up when I heard this! This is the first Biden nominee who hasn't put on the knee pads for China. Naturally he has China ties in his past, but maybe he's had a change of heart. I do think Trump has caused a permanent change in potential foreign and trade policy with China that even China lovers like most of the Democratic Party can't ignore. They will at least have to give lip service to getting tough with China, which is better than simply enriching Biden's family. I'll say I'm hopeful.
The fact the democrats send their people across the internet to post these threads is proof their internal polls show them Americans believe the "China Joe" meme.
I don't know why people refer to Joe Biden as "China Joe." I can't quite figure out why they would say this. " China prefers that President Trump – whom Beijing sees as unpredictable – does not win reelection. China has been expanding its influence efforts ahead of November 2020 to shape the policy environment in the United States, pressure political figures it views as opposed to China’s interests, and deflect and counter criticism of China. " (1) I, I just don't get why people would call Joe Biden "China Joe." Such a mystery. 1. https://www.dni.gov/index.php/newsr...lection-threat-update-for-the-american-public
Bee ess. No way are Democrats that well organized. You give them waaaaaayyyy too much credit. Besides, the "China Joe" meme is also bee ess, with no factual basis. Only those who refuse to do their own research believe any right wing memes.
I just find it interesting that the same person that was making up disinformation names in ever thread like "bigot-in-chief" is upset about the phrase "China Joe". Joe biden proved how far up China's arse he is and has EARNED that name. plus it flows nicely. I'm sorry @Lee Atwater but "name calling of presidents for me but not for thee" isn't gonna work. NOT ON MY WATCH. From this day forward, President Joe Biden will be FOREVER known as CHINA JOE
Oops. You seem to have forgotten to finish that post with a "neener neener neener!" My mama always said that two wrongs don't make a right. Didn't yours teach you about doing things out of spite? (Ooh, lookie there ... I made a rhyme. ) FYI, I don't call Trump anything other than Trump unless I'm listing my less-than-kind nicknames for several former presidents, adding him to the list as the Toddler in Chief, which isn't any worse than my nicknames for the others. Going back to: Tricky Dicky The Pratfall Artist The Peanut Farmer The Movie Star in Chief The Old Spymaster (or more recently, Mr. Grabbyass) Mr. Smarmy The C Student (or sometimes just Dubya) The Amateur I really am an equal opportunity sarcastic bee-atch.
Trump did none of those things. He may have tried, but he definitely did not succeed because Donald Trump doesn't know a thing about world diplomacy, nor does he care about world diplomacy. The world saw him for what he is. A blowhard more concerned with being adored than in being a leader. Maybe someday his supporters will no longer need the fictional narratives they insulate themselves with and they too will see him with open eyes.
No, it is not, and I've never called him that, but you can go with "China Joe" if you like. I don't mind at all. Most political nastiness is based on misinformation, including that nickname. I've personally been called worse.
He also knows nothing about international trade. His tariff nonsense was near disastrous for many Americans.
