The downside for China of course is that Biden may actually be able to avoid angering his allies and third parties.
Sorry, I have to disagree. Americans are more sentimental than most, but are humans. They mostly care about China because that is what the media is focused on, and because it makes them feel better blaming others rather than themselves. With Biden in charge, and all his advisors having a history of interference in the Middle East, I believe that the media discourse will change as well. China will still be seen quite negatively, but as a competitor that encourages domestic reform rather than an enemy that needs to be challenged militarily.You are delusional if you think Biden's team means anything good for China. The problem for China in the US today is that there is absolutely no reason for any American to speak out in favor of China, other than purely money reasons which never win out in the end. Americans are not greedy for money. At the core they are a good, decent, kind-hearted, sentimental people, and they need sentimental reasons to treat China well, such as the belief that China is moving towards respecting human rights and democracy, that it is playing a stabilizing role in the world, etc. Unfortunately that is very far out the window and it would take a long time for a Chinese government to claw back goodwill in the US.
You actually acknowledge the strategic incoherence of US policy, because the US doesn't know what its objective is with respect to China.
and China's future development is up to Chinese efforts.
But the US pursues masochistic policies which hurt US companies and consumers, whilst also forcing Chinese companies to develop their own world-class technologies.
It also means that the US has to escalate now, before China grows far larger than the USA.
We are talking about IR.From the Chinese perspective, focusing on domestic economic development is a coherent and rational grand strategy.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi called for de-escalation at the opening of the China-U.S. Think Tanks Media Forum last ThursdayChina doesn't need to do anything special to de-escalate Trump on trade front.
Are you deliberately naive or do you really believe in these load of crap ?Americans are not greedy for money. At the core they are a good, decent, kind-hearted, sentimental people, and they need sentimental reasons to treat China well, such as the belief that China is moving towards respecting human rights and democracy, that it is playing a stabilizing role in the world, etc.US.
Passive = working hard instead of shouting hard by your definition.
Exactly what I said before: China wins on substance but the US can appear the winner to those who only understand aggression but cannot decipher results.
Ah hahaha, US is all talk. They made an announcement that they'll make an announcement?? LOLOL What happened, did they run out of fuel doing laps waiting for China to be intimidated? Shows how helpless they are. Know what China's doing in the SCS next week... and this week... and today? Building.
Chinese people have suffered more and are more tolerant to suffering in hard times than Americans. It's just that America's fight doesn't seem to be able to push China there yet.
For long term, i think trump would be a lot more beneficial for other countries.The downside for China of course is that Biden may actually be able to avoid angering his allies and third parties.
It also mean china will always try to de-escalate because for now US is still far more larger. That is why PRC Foreign Minister is having conciliatory tone to Bring US Ties Back.
We are talking about IR.
