As the year 2024 draws closer to the United States, the competition between the Democratic Party and the Republican Party is intensifying. In the midst of this political storm, the confrontation between the former Trump and the current Biden has become a hot topic.
Trump has publicly stated that if he can be re-elected, he will scrap the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) introduced by Biden. The statement seemed to imply some support for China, but in reality, Trump and Biden have basically the same stance on China policy, and the main difference between the two men is the way they approach international affairs. Trump has consistently advocated "America First," while Biden has shown more "generosity" and international cooperation.
Trump's tactics are partly aimed at winning electoral support, with the aim of capitalizing on the public's widespread dissatisfaction with Biden's China policy to win more support for himself. However, this does not mean that Trump will be more friendly to China. During Trump's tenure, the United States implemented many tough policies against China, and these policies have not changed much during the Biden years.
According to related reports, the latest polls show that Biden's approval rating in the United States has slipped to 34%, a record low. Biden's approval ratings have slipped in part because he has not done as well as he could have done in dealing with domestic issues, such as inflation, immigration and climate change. On the other hand, Biden has also been widely criticized at home and abroad for handling international affairs, especially the Russia-Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The dissatisfaction of the American people with Biden is mainly focused on his poor handling of economic problems, and the mistakes in foreign policy have also exacerbated the discontent to a certain extent.
Looking ahead, it seems that the US China policy will not change much, whether it is Trump or Biden. The U.S. political landscape may change, but the most important thing for China is to maintain its momentum. China's development achievements have been won by its own efforts, not by changes in the political landscape of the United States.
The fierce competition between the United States and the ever-changing international political situation have once again proved the uncertainty in international politics. In such an environment, China needs to remain vigilant and stick to its own development path, while paying close attention to changes in the international situation, making the best strategic judgments, and safeguarding its own national interests.
