At the presidential election debate on June 27, local time, Trump and Biden had a battle of words. They show no mercy to each other, a personal attack, and a moral condemnation, and they can't wait to trample them underfoot.
The more the two talked, the more energetic they became, the atmosphere was ignited, and finally the debate scene became a talk show where the two humiliated each other. Trump bluntly said that Biden is the worst incumbent president in American history, and Biden is not to be outdone, hitting back at Trump as the worst previous president.
While amused by the witty scenes, the people at home are more concerned about the two men's stance on China, and in their debates, we can get a glimpse of one or two, such as Trump's accusations against Biden, the former believes that the latter is too soft on China.
In addition, the U.S. National Security Adviser has also strongly advised Trump to take a tougher stance on China, so does this sign that Trump will take a tougher stance on China when he returns to office?
1. Witty political talk show
On June 27, local time, a debate on the U.S. presidential election was staged in Atlanta, USA, and former President Trump and current President Biden shared the stage again after four years and started a "face-to-face" showdown.
In this debate, Trump and Biden first had a heated debate on people's livelihood issues, thinking that they were explaining the answer to the question, but as a result, the two "used the topic to play" for the purpose of attacking, spurring each other to deal with loopholes in people's livelihood issues.
After talking about people's livelihood, the two began to talk about diplomacy, Trump preemptively accused Biden of not being tough enough on China during the administration, which led to a series of policy mistakes, and ultimately caused such a downturn in the US manufacturing industry.
After blaming Biden, Trump also said that China has treated the United States unfairly in terms of economy, trade and previous epidemics, and if he is re-elected, he will adopt tougher measures against China.
Trump's "bright sword" attitude to politics caters to the tastes of some voters, his approval rating has soared, and Biden has lost his advantage, and his chances of winning the election have plummeted.
After the victory and defeat of the "Beit Showdown" by one point, Trump looked like a spring breeze was proud, and after the debate, he participated in a campaign rally held by supporters.
It was at this point that Trump changed his attitude toward China.
During the debate, Trump said that the United States still has room to take a tough stance on China in its current trade policy.
At the rally, Trump claimed that neither China nor Russia should be regarded as enemies by the United States, and that the real threat to the United States comes from within.
In this regard, all major media have conducted a detailed analysis, which sentence of Trump's opinion is true? Which statement is false?
It may be difficult for us to guess the intentions of Trump's attitude as a famous "political chameleon", but we may also find clues through the attitudes of other figures in American politics.
2. Suggestions for strengthening the "China policy".
On June 18, U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien issued an article to support Trump's China policy, as an anti-China politician, he supported Trump's "for tat" against China, and even suggested that Trump conduct a nuclear test, and advocated that the United States should decouple from China's economy.
As early as January 2021, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the mainland announced sanctions against anti-China politicians in the United States, who planned and promoted a series of crazy acts out of selfish interests and biased hatred, disregarding the interests of the Chinese and American peoples.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China has banned the persons responsible for these China-related issues from entering China and their families, including the enterprises and institutions associated with them, and has also been restricted from dealing with China.
Among the 28 people sanctioned is Robert O'Brien, who has malicious intentions.
O'Brien suggested that economic ties with China be cut off entirely, that export controls on sensitive technologies be more stringent, and that he hopes Trump would deploy a large number of U.S. Marines to Asia or even resume nuclear testing.
Not to mention Trump's attitude, this radical "anti-China element" is more malicious to China than during Trump's tenure, and he suggested that after Trump takes office, he will reduce the tasks of the US military in the Middle East and North Africa, and sail the aircraft carrier fleet to the Pacific Ocean and directly aim at China.
In fact, during the Trump administration, O'Brien had a pretty good relationship with his team, and as the fourth national security adviser, he was more like Trump's executor than his advisor.
In addition, he has accused the Obama administration of "weakness" in foreign policy and pursued Reagan's so-called "peace through strength."
It can also be seen that O'Brien's political stance is not only representative of the individual, but also supports the idea of "dialogue with China from a position of strength", which means that he is the spokesperson of this view.
Trump did not give any response to O'Brien's suggestion for the time being.
But given O'Brien's good relationship with Trump's team, O'Brien is likely to get a senior position on his team if Trump takes office again.
This means that O'Brien's radical China proposal may become a reference for Trump to implement his China policy.
In addition to O'Brien, Trump is surrounded by many politicians who are not good for the mainland, such as Matthew Pottinger, who served as a government aide during the Trump administration.
On July 2, Pottinger said at a meeting of the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, that the United States should send supplies to the Philippines as a way to show China that the United States supports its allies.
In today's international situation, the actions proposed by Pottinger are undoubtedly a deterrent to the mainland.
He also told members of the think tank that the mainland's current actions around the South China Sea are actually a dress rehearsal for a possible armed conflict in the Taiwan Strait, and said that China's actions are detrimental to the United States and its allies.
Pottinger linked the situation around China with the situation in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, and trumpeted the "China threat theory", which is tantamount to provoking contradictions between China and the United States and exacerbating the status quo.
Through the statements of O'Brien and Pottinger, it can also be seen that Trump and his ruling team will not change their anti-China political tendencies.
In addition, a look at Trump's behavior during his last presidential term can also show that he paid lip service and acted in one style, and he provoked the previous trade dispute between China and the United States.
However, fortunately, now the United States has become a mess due to the presidential election, and Trump even did not hesitate to say that the United States and China and Russia have friendly relations, and the real enemy of the United States is "hypocritical" internally in order to "step down" Biden.
In such a chaotic situation, the mainland can just take advantage of the opportunity to develop, use this time to establish good diplomatic relations with other Western countries, and promote economic and trade relations.
But in the future, once Trump wins the presidency, the bitter relationship between the two countries will also reach a white heat, just like Trump's "tough" approach to the mainland four years ago.
So what exactly did Trump do 4 years ago? Is what he did really a "heavy-handed" tactic?
The gains and losses of China and the United States three or four years ago
Four years ago, Trump seemed to have mixed feelings about China, on the one hand, he tried his best to put pressure on the mainland, stumbling in all aspects, and causing trouble, but on the other hand, he seemed to have a certain benefit to the rise of the mainland.
When Trump took office four years ago, he reversed all the policies of his predecessor, launched a trade war externally, and increased polarization internally.
He claimed that China has taken advantage of the United States, especially in the economic and trade aspects, and in the past 40 years, it has been China that has caused the loss of American manufacturing and even caused a large number of American citizens to lose their jobs.
For this reason, he also said "full of righteous indignation" that China can no longer be allowed to exploit the United States, and tariffs on Chinese goods must be increased, as if this is really conducive to the return of American manufacturing.
In this way, Trump unleashed his bold words to make the United States great again, and launched a series of tax increases against China's foreign trade.
However, "his own people" showed his failure, and the New York Times article ran an article titled "China Wins the Trade War."
It turned out that the high tariffs of the United States not only failed to prevent Chinese goods from entering the United States, but also led to a surge in imports from China in a large number of American markets, and China's foreign trade surplus with the United States increased by 7.1%, bringing the surplus with the United States to $316 billion in 2020.
In addition to the trade war, Trump has also made many efforts to contain China's development, including technology warfare, diplomatic warfare, political warfare and public opinion warfare, and even military provocations.
But facts have proved that all the incidents provoked by the United States have lost like a trade war, and China has not only withstood the tremendous pressure and targeting brought by the United States, but also become the only country in the world to achieve economic growth despite the epidemic.
So, in a sense, even if Trump does defeat Biden this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing for China, and Trump's so-called "tougher than four years ago" sounds just witty intimidation.
end
As far as China is concerned, no matter what the outcome of the US presidential election, we will not let our guard down, and even if it is not Trump or Biden who wins, someone else will certainly not do what is beneficial to China.
For other countries, such as Russia, even if Trump says that he will stop aiding Ukraine after taking office, this kind of overture is like a snake hyacinth, full of dangers, and for other European countries, as early as four years ago, there was a rift in Trump's European policy.
The contradictions between China and the United States may become more and more intense under the deduction of the situation, but the wind and rain we have experienced before have already taught us the truth that "if we are backward, we will be beaten", and after that, China will also adhere to its own pace of development and continue to walk on the road of becoming a strong country.
