The U.S. Congress recently passed the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, and the U.S. defense budget has once again reached a new high, which also clearly proposes to strengthen deterrence in the Pacific region, and the United States has no longer hidden its strategy against China. Just after the US Congress passed the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act, US President Biden began to be aggressive, most notably the White House announced a boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, in fact, Biden had already let the wind say in November that he would boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics.
