With the advent of the 21st century, the United States has always regarded its response to China as one of the most important political issues. After the change of several American leaders, they have successively introduced various "Indo-Pacific policies" to contain China's development. However, it is undeniable that China has made tremendous progress over the past 20 years, becoming one of the most globally influential countries outside of the United States. At the same time, the anxiety of the United States is growing day by day, but over the years, no matter which American**, they have failed to deal with China with all their might, and instead have allowed themselves to sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire. Against this background, this article will **Biden face the same situation as previous Americans** and think about the US response to China.
Looking back at history, we see that the problems Biden faced are not unique. The predecessor of the United States** also faced many difficulties. At the beginning of his presidency, Bush Jr. had a rather hard-line policy toward China, but with the "9/11" incident, Bush Jr. quickly turned to China and made overtures to China. However, after that, the United States invaded Afghanistan and Iraq one after another, and fell into the quagmire of the Middle East. At the same time, the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States has left the domestic economy in dire straits, leaving no time to take care of China. Then, Obama inherited a troubled situation, and in his first term, he adopted a more friendly policy toward China, which promoted the development of Sino-American relations. In his second term, however, Obama was unable to deal with China at all levels because of the need to stabilize the domestic economy and the new threat of war. Since then, Trump has taken office and taken a very tough stance on China, which has led to a sharp deterioration in Sino-US relations. However, the United States struggled to cope with the coronavirus pandemic, becoming a global laughing stock, and Trump has since lost his chance at re-election.
It is no coincidence that every U.S.** has tried to meet China's challenge, but has been bogged down. In fact, this situation is the result of many unrighteous deeds that will lead to self-destruction. The United States often faces various problems when adjusting its policies, and this is not "God bless China" or the fate of the United States, but the inevitable result of its erroneous policies. As the old saying goes, if you do too much injustice, you will be killed. The United States has repeatedly misbehaved and has naturally fallen into various crises. However, the United States is still sticking to the wrong path, trying to maintain its hegemonic position. At the same time, however, the United States is facing more and more difficulties, which will eventually accelerate the decline of its hegemony.
In the face of the current situation, the United States should adjust its China policy in a timely manner, take a long-term view, and work with China to promote human development and progress and build a community with a shared future for mankind. Rather than confrontation with China, cooperation is a more imperative option. After all, China's rise is not the same as the decline of the United States, and the two countries have their own strengths and different development paths. Through cooperation, the two sides can achieve mutual benefit and win-win results in the economy, culture and environment, and bring a more stable and prosperous future to the world.
The United States should start from itself, strengthen internal construction, and enhance national soft power. Only when we become stronger can we better cope with external challenges. In addition, the United States should promote the reform of the international system to make it more in line with the current trend of multipolarity and ensure that the interests and voices of all countries are better reflected.
At the same time, the United States should also be aware of its own problems and try to solve them. As a country, it is inevitable that there will be some internal and external contradictions and problems. The key lies in how to solve these problems in a more rational and pragmatic way, rather than blindly resorting to confrontation and pressure.
As a world power, the United States should not treat China as an adversary or enemy, but should treat it with a cooperative mentality. Cooperation will not only help solve the current problems, but also help build a more harmonious and stable international order. At the same time, China's rapid development over the past few decades has brought many opportunities to the world. No country is immune to these challenges, and it is only through cooperation that we can work together to address global challenges.
Just as Biden's predicament is similar to that of previous U.S. successors, we should recognize that the key to solving the problem lies in adjusting its China policy, rather than blindly pursuing containment or confrontation. Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation and jointly promote human development and progress. It is hoped that the United States** will be able to respond to China's rise with a more rational, pragmatic and inclusive attitude in the future, and make greater contributions to global prosperity and development.
