Today marks the first anniversary of the administration of current US President Joe Biden. At the beginning of taking office, Biden can be said to have high hopes, and his predecessor Trump tossed too much, so the United States and abroad hope that This Biden can bring a new situation to everyone.
This Biden is also ambitious and full of spirit. But over the past year, his performance has really disappointed everyone, the Americans are disappointed in him, the American allies are disappointed in him, the international community is disappointed in him, and China is also disappointed.
Let's start with the disappointment in the United States. This can be seen from his poll approval rating, and biden's current bid has fallen from 55% when he first took office to 33%. To know that his predecessor Trump was so tossed, his approval rating at the end of his first year was also 38%, and Trump's approval rating at the lowest point after the Capitol Hill incident was also 33%.
Now the United States is considered to be in danger of collapse at any time, the epidemic has been diagnosed with more than 1 million people every day, has been completely "lying flat", Biden basically has no ability to act; the economy, relying on more crazy than Trump to "release water", barely maintained the stock market and property market, but inflation and debt crisis, at any time may crush the economy; and then the Democratic Party is over-consuming the "Capitol Hill Incident", the United States society is divided, the contradictions are further deepening, even the Americans themselves say that American democracy has reached the brink of collapse. Biden has become one of the worst rated U.S. presidents since World War II, and disappointment has reached its peak.
And then there's the disappointment of U.S. allies. When Biden took office, he had a slogan called "America is back," which made a group of U.S. allies cry a little bitterly. Trump's previous slogan was "America First" and did not care about the interests of allies. But over the course of the year, America's allies have found that Biden has done little to change them except to keep them fighting.
For example, Trump said that allies say that your military spending is too small and that you want to increase it so that you can share some of it for the United States. After this Biden took office, this argument seems to have not changed, and the military garrison funds paid by Japan and South Korea to the United States have also risen. For example, Germany and other countries and Russia have done a good job of "Nord Stream" No. 2, Biden has to stir up yellow. This winter's surge in energy shortage spending in Western European countries has something to do with it. Of course, pulling Britain and Australia to make an AUKUS, and robbing the large orders of submarines from France and Australia, this is even more excessive. This is "the United States is back", and it is clearly "the United States has called".
Then there is the disappointment of the international community in him. Biden took office and made a high-profile proposal to return to the Paris Agreement, return to the WHO, support for COVID-19 vaccines abroad, and so on. Many countries were happy at first, but then they found out that this was not the case. Biden wants to return to the Paris Agreement, but on climate issues, he only knows how to pressure developing countries and ask other countries to take more responsibility, while the United States itself is not falling in 2021, but rising, completely contrary to Biden's commitments. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the United States has placed a number of empty checks to the outside world, saying that it will support vaccines. By the end of 2021, the United States has 1.1 billion doses of vaccines in its territory, preferring to expire and fail rather than provide foreign aid, which has the appearance of the world's first medical power.
In fact, when Biden first took office, China still had some expectations for him. After all, Trump's China policy is too much. But soon, we were disappointed. First, Biden clearly proposed to characterize China as a major strategic competitor, and to carry out a three-point method for us. It's confrontation, competition, and the use of three points. The main one is confrontation. Then, at the U.S.-China Strategic Dialogue in Ankorage, Alaska, the momentum is to speak to us from the "position of strength."
In fact, the Biden administration's behavior that disappoints us is not to give up the illusion and prepare for the struggle. So we resolutely shrugged it off at Anchorage. After that, you Americans will still come to us for dialogue and cooperation.
Now a year has passed, and this year Biden's life in the presidency is really not very good, and it is difficult at home and abroad. In particular, the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan in August last year was even more disgraceful and disgraceful. If this continues, Biden's life will not be better in the next year.
