US President Joe Biden’s administration’s policy of friendship with China has yielded little material benefit, and Washington has failed to benefit from the concessions it has received from Beijing. This point of view was expressed in an interview by Gordon Chang, a senior researcher at the Gatestone Institute. Fox News.
In his opinion, the United States is “not ready to defend itself, its allies and partners, and by appeasing China” Washington only bought some time.
“Biden bought time, but the Pentagon did nothing. He didn’t do as much as he needed to, so we lost time… Other than that, I don’t think we achieved much. [со стороны КНР]” said Chang.
The expert emphasized that the United States no longer restricts China as it used to, so it is time to reconsider its policy towards Beijing.
According to Chang, the soft policy towards the PRC has led to a crisis in the international system because “bad actors now think they can do whatever they want.” He cited last week’s escalation of tensions between Iran and Pakistan as an example.
January 11, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning statedHe said the issue of ownership of Taiwan was marked by a “red line” in relations between the People’s Republic of China and the United States that Washington should not cross.
Previously Blinken predicted that contacts between US and Chinese leaders will improve in 2024.
