Beijing Sees Biden as Someone Susceptible to Its Influence

[Anonymous]

The Chinese regime would be happy to see a new U.S. administration without President Donald Trump, according to historian Victor Davis Hanson.



If Democratic Party candidate Joe Biden wins the election, Beijing would also press harder on U.S. allies in the Asia-Pacific region, said Hanson, who is a senior fellow at the Stanford University-based think tank Hoover Institution.



On The Epoch Times' "American Thought Leaders" program, Hanson said Beijing sees Biden as someone who would work with the communist regime—"a sign of weakness to be exploited."



Hanson analyzed Beijing's view of the election: "I think they're going to be much more confident now because of the Biden victory, because I think their chief nemesis and biggest worry is gone if Trump loses."



The Trump administration has confronted the Chinese Communist Party on a range of issues, including unfair trade practices, espionage, malign influence in the United States, security threats posed by Chinese technology, and human rights abuses in Xinjiang and Hong Kong.



Without a hardline policy toward China under Biden, Hanson said the regime would put pressure on Australia, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan, all key U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific region.



He said Beijing could "send something into the waters off Taiwan" and see how Biden reacts.



Beijing views Taiwan as a part of its territory and has threatened to use military force to bring the island under its fold. It also opposes governments or international organizations from forming ties with the island that might suggest the real situation—that Taiwan is a de-facto independent country with its own democratically-elected government, military, currency, and constitution.



Bilateral ties between Washington and Taipei have warmed considerably in recent months under the Trump administration, which sees Taiwan as an important ally in its Indo-Pacific strategy. In recent months, two senior U.S. officials visited Taiwan, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Undersecretary of State Keith Krach.



Upset by the cordial U.S.–Taiwan relations, Beijing has held military exercises near its coastal waters and sent military planes near the island in recent months. According to Taiwan's Ministry of National Defense, thus far China has violated Taiwan's airspace on 11 different days during the month of November.



"I think they're [Beijing] delighted [at a Biden victory], and I expect them to be very cautious but very, very definite in the trajectory in which they want to move—and that is to press, press, press," Hanson said.

I have no doubt that China is relieved to see Trump depart the white house. Taiwan, on the other hand, was cheering for a Trump victory.

Particularly in Washington. Other Western leaders don't scare the CCP.

It's obvious they would rather not have to face four more years of Trump holding their feet to the fire. But, it will be hard, even for someone as sinocentric as Biden to go back to the status quo that was forged under Bill Clinton.

I don't expect that to last long..

Many food exporting countries, Cananda being one of them are unhappy about China's increased scrutiny of our exports..



They're trying to intimidate countries into not holding them accountable for the coronavirus and repatriating supply chains.

We that's going to be the reality of things to come. The only word leader with the guts to stand up to the evil Chinese was Trump. The raving idiots in our electorate put an end to any hope of a push back on the Chinese. The half dead clown they put in the oval office and his whole fucken family are on the Chinese payroll as are many prominent democraps in congress.



"China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,"



"I mean, you know, they're not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They're not competition for us,"



Sincerely the Brain Dead President Elect,

Joey Hair Plugs Biden.

Boris Johnson and Scott Morrison of Australia stand up to China, but without the backing of the US, and stand they make is futile.

Peace Corps Volunteers in China Closely Monitored by School Authorities: Leaked Documents



The Chinese regime closely monitors Peace Corps volunteers that are dispatched to China, according to internal government documents The Epoch Times recently obtained.



The Peace Corps is a federal government-run program that sends volunteers abroad to help developing countries in areas such as education, agriculture, and public health.



The Peace Corps China program, which ended this year, was called U.S.-China Friendship Volunteers (USCFV), and was run in cooperation with China's education ministry.



The Peace Corps started its China program in 1993 and has sent at least 1,448 volunteers to China in the past 27 years, who mainly work as English-language teachers at universities or technical schools.



In reports to the Gansu Province education bureau, local universities revealed that they arranged family and work partners to monitor Peace Corps volunteers and make sure they follow the Chinese regime's policies.



Monitoring

The Peace Corps China program announced its termination in January. All programs would end in April.

One Of Biden's First Admin Hires Helped Push Through China Trade Bill That Caused 'Sharp Drop' In US Jobs

One of the first officials Joe Biden selected to serve in his White House led the Clinton administration's charge in 2000 to pass legislation to normalize trade relations with China.



Biden announced Tuesday that Steve Ricchetti will serve as his White House counselor.



Ricchetti, who served as Bill Clinton's deputy chief of staff, was that administration's liaison to Congress to help pass Permanent Normal Trade Relations with China.



A Yale study in 2012 found that PNTR caused a "sharp decline" in the number of U.S. manufacturing jobs.



Bernie Sanders called for repealing the bill in 2005, saying that it had been an "absolute failure."

It does not seem that way according to the latest news. We shall see.
