DVirtual meeting between U.S. President Joe Bindon and Chinese heads of state Xi Jinping Continue U.S. diplomatic efforts to find common ground in global challenges and manage the competitive relationship between China and the U.S. in a responsible manner to prevent a big explosion.
The US government no longer has any illusions about China. As the United States promotes its integration into world trade, the notion that China can develop into an open and free society is gone forever. The view that China can limit its influence to “soft power” through friendly diplomatic measures has also disappeared. According to Biden’s foreign policy advisers, the military operations on the Indian border, the harsh handling of Japan, and the unannounced trade war with Australia show that if China is in its own interests, it is ready to present itself as an aggressive, A confident power.
Not like in cold war There is no focus on armaments or nuclear arsenals between the Western powers and the Eastern bloc. Kurt Campbell, the Asian coordinator of the White House National Security Council, said that, as he explained at a recent meeting, the issue of armaments is important. But the real area of conflict is technology.
Competition in the field of technology
Rush Dorsey, China Director of the White House National Security Council, said at a congressional hearing: “Most observers are increasingly aware that China is making a strong, government-supported effort to replace the United States as the world’s technology leader.” . This attempt is mainly due to geostrategic reasons. Dorsey said that Beijing believes that competition for the best technology not only determines which company is dominant in a particular market, but also determines which country is most capable of becoming the world’s number one power.
From the perspective of the United States, China now sees a unique opportunity in history to achieve global hegemony by strengthening key technologies such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology or the next-generation Internet. Xi Jinping and his advisers are excited about the idea that the United States has passed its heyday. The hesitant response of the United States to the pandemic has shown China that a democratic free market policy model is not necessarily superior. The country’s political turmoil (which ended in the rush into the Capitol) and the “black life is also a fate” protests provided Chinese leaders with further arguments in support of the weak analysis of the United States. In this context, Biden’s campaign for political unity—usually in vain—so that other countries can recognize the vitality of democracy.
