Biden will be strategic, and those of us who want to see the ‘China Initiative’ go away should expect the administration to abandon current cases against Chinese scholars while not pursuing any new indictments.
Given the present increased tensions in the region, Washington must take a strictly impartial position on the Diaoyu Islands dispute so that China and Japan over time may resolve their differences according to international law and in a peaceful manner through diplomacy.
The timing is extraordinary since the Biden administration announced the forming of AUKUS.
Based on this shared heritage, it is possible for our two countries to return to a time of more robust cooperation, and to channel that cooperation into meaningful outcomes in carbon emission reduction.
The Declaration also lays down the justification for war, namely that it is deemed to be ‘necessary’. This has thus provided the foundation for the 92 wars that America has fought since its first declaration of war in 1776.
We must ensure that no madman, now or in the future, decides that war between the two nations is a must.
The US leadership, President and Congress, must reflect deeply on the current predicament of the US. Relative decline of its international position and real decline internally are cold hard facts which must be addressed.

China and the US, working together, should become bulwarks of peace and engines of prosperity, which would benefit all humanity.
Washington must reflect carefully about the present unstable international situation and about the deteriorating socio-economic and volatile political condition into which the US has fallen.
Tariffs alone will not stop China’s rise. China’s most important strategic interest lies in its access to technology and however bitter this pill is to swallow for the US, this may be a trade-off in the end of Phase One discussions.
