Recently, the United States has made waves again, and the former Republican Trump has won six consecutive party primaries, showing his strong influence in the party. At the same time, although the current ** Biden in the United States won the Democratic primary, he appeared weak in the contest with Trump. This situation has not only sparked speculation about the future belonging of the White House, but also made Biden feel more pressure in the upcoming situation.
Trump's winning streak in the party's primaries, especially in key states such as Michigan and South Carolina, underscores his strong position in the Republican Party. Although his rival Nikki Haley has yet to announce his withdrawal from the race, Trump appears to have emerged as the Republican candidate. In addition, Trump contrasted sharply with Biden on the Texas border, with the support of Texas Governor Abbott and 25 other states, further cementing his influence in the party.
In the face of Trump's strong challenge, Biden appeared a little caught off guard. In the polls, Trump's approval rating has been higher than that of Biden, putting the latter at a disadvantage in the campaign. In order to increase his approval rating, Biden began to seek cooperation with China, hoping to increase his political performance and improve his chances of winning the election.
Biden hopes that China will provide support in the following three areas:
On the North Korean issue, the United States hopes that China will use its influence on the Korean Peninsula issue to bring North Korea back to the negotiating table and seek a peaceful solution.
In the Red Sea crisis, the United States hopes that China will pressure the Houthis to stop their attacks in the Red Sea to ensure the safety of international shipping.
On the China side, U.S. Ambassador to China Burns said that the United States does not want to decouple from China and hopes that the two sides can continue to cooperate to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results.
However, although these proposals of Biden ** seem to seek cooperation on the surface, they actually carry a certain sense of pressure. On North Korea, the United States wants China to take more responsibility, but it ignores the complexity of the North Korean nuclear issue. In the Red Sea crisis, the United States asked China to pressure the Houthis, but did not mention its own military operations in the region. In terms of cooperation, although the United States has expressed its reluctance to decouple, its sanctions against Chinese companies continue.
China's attitude towards these proposals of Biden ** is cautious. China has always advocated the peaceful settlement of international disputes through dialogue and opposes unilateral pressure and interference in the internal affairs of other countries. On the DPRK issue, China supports the search for a peaceful solution through multilateral mechanisms such as the Six-Party Talks. On the Red Sea crisis, China called on all parties to abide by international law and ensure the safety of shipping, while supporting the resolution of the conflict through political dialogue. In terms of cooperation, China is willing to carry out mutually beneficial and win-win exchanges with the United States, but at the same time resolutely opposes any form of protectionism and unilateral sanctions.
We see that Biden wants to improve his competitiveness in the upcoming world by getting closer to China. However, whether these efforts will bear fruit will depend on China's response and whether the two sides can find common ground on these issues. After all, the U.S.-China relationship is a complex bilateral relationship involving numerous interests and sensitivities. At such a critical moment, whether the two sides can properly handle these differences and find opportunities for cooperation will have an important impact on the future development of bilateral relations.
In addition, Biden** also faces many challenges in dealing with domestic issues. Political divisions, economic issues, and social issues within the United States are all important issues that Biden needs to address. How to maintain policy coherence and effectiveness under dual pressure at home and abroad will be the focus of Biden's future work.
