Hello friends! Today, the theme we want to ** is the "game war", yes, it is the deep-water game between China and the United States that is gradually escalating. In the story, there is a precise layout of policies, as well as a "exposed" moment in reality. Follow me to unveil this layer of politics!
This story is a bit ironic, the United States has laid out its China policy seamlessly, but when it comes to strategic implementation, it has encountered frequent twists and turns. The all-round and all-field struggle between China and the United States is like a realistic version of the confrontation of contradictions, which makes people unpredictable.
After Biden took office, he launched the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework (IPEF) with the ambition to fill the void left by the Trans-Pacific Partnership left over from the Trump era. The goal of this big move is to curb China's influence through economic means. But the problem is that if you want to be a "big brother", you have to have some confidence, but unfortunately the United States seems to be a "white wolf with empty gloves".
Lo and behold, the Nikkei broke that Biden **withdrew his **project on IPEF**. It seems that this so-called "big pie" plan has encountered some surprises after all. It's like you've been drawing a beautiful blueprint for three years, but it turns out to be a bit flawed at a critical moment.
Hey, it's hard to ignore that IPEF wasn't a simple idea. Biden's vision is to form an economic encirclement of China, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, and to keep China firmly trapped in an economic blockade. However, the reality has made them realize that wanting to be a leader in regional cooperation is not a task that can be accomplished casually.
Having said that, the concerns raised by the United States' foreign pact among voters at the bottom should not be underestimated. For them, these agreements appear to be national interests, but in fact they mean the loss of unemployment. The question for the Biden team is how to pursue the national interest without offending voters.
The United States at this stage, not to mention how embarrassing it is. Political interests and national interests are intertwined, leaving Biden and his team in a dilemma. In this case, even a "big brother" may not be a good one, let alone a leader in leading the international strategy.
I have to say that the obstacles encountered by Biden in promoting this plan also include the arrival of **. In the eyes of the bottom of the American electorate, foreign agreements are tantamount to job losses. If Biden insists on pushing for it, the election results may be unusually ugly.
Overall, the United States is in an awkward position today. It's not that you don't know what to do, it's that internal and external contradictions make it difficult to make substantial progress. Both IPEF and APEP are at an impasse because of various issues. The United States may really only pay lip service. The story of the political climate hindering international strategy is a bit embarrassing.
So, we can only wait and see how this political game will end. Ladies and gentlemen, don't go away, there are more exciting stories waiting for us to uncover in the future! ⚡️
