Biden’s Team Talks Tough On China As Early Signs Show Policies Won’t Differ Sharply From Trump’s

  • U.S President Joe Biden’s team has shown early signs that it agrees with the previous administration on several “extremely touchy” issues concerning China, said Lanhee Chen from Stanford University.
  • The “early signals” show that the Biden administration “may change the tone and tenor of the conversation with Beijing — but they’re not really gonna change the policy,” said Lanhee Chen, director of domestic policy studies and lecturer at Stanford University.
  • Washington has no formal diplomatic ties with Taiwan — which China claims as a runaway province that must eventually be reunited with the mainland. Still, the U.S. is Taiwan’s most powerful international backer and largest arms supplier.
