practices,” such as “stealing intellectual property,
dumping products, illegal subsidies to corporations”
and forcing “tech transfers” from US companies to
Chinese counterparts. But he also stressed the need
to develop a bipartisan consensus at home and focus
government efforts on investments in research and
development, infrastructure and education that
would allow companies to compete better with
Chinese rivals. Don’t expect a new deal with China in
the first 100 days of the new presidency. According to
Reuters, Biden said, “I want to make sure we’re going
to fight like hell by investing in America first.” He wants
to talk with American allies before proceeding. “The
best China strategy, I think, is one which gets every
one of our — or at least what used to be our — allies
on the same page.”
Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua
Chunying responded to Biden’s comments by
reiterating a long-standing position that trade
between the two countries should be mutually
beneficial. She said, “Trade issues should be dealt with
in the spirit of mutual respect and equal consultation.”
We agree with the leaders from both countries, but
governments do not run on a linear plane. Both sides
must return to the table. Both sides want a strong
trade deal and international business should not have
to wait. It’s time to get busy.
With best regards, 祝好！
