Biden Vows No Quick Rollback of Trump's China Tariffs |
2020-12-03 |
I think I’m shocked. [AnNahar] Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden ![]() will keep Donald Trump ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves... 's trade-war tariffs on China for the time being when he moves into the Oval Office next month, the president-elect has told US media. Rancor and recrimination have defined the relationship between the world's two biggest economies over the last four years, with Trump slapping import fees on billions of dollars' worth of Chinese goods with tariffs. Biden meanwhile has been a strident critic of China's human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... record and analysts have predicted his administration will maintain a hawkish posture towards Beijing. "I'm not going to make any immediate moves, and the same applies to the tariffs," Biden told the New York Times ![]() ...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize... in an interview published Wednesday. "I'm not going to prejudice my options." Since winning last month's presidential election, Biden has hinted at a trade policy that would mend Washington's alliances with Europa ...the land mass occupying the space between the English Channel and the Urals, also known as Moslem Lebensraum... and the Asia-Pacific. He has said the United States must join forces with other world democracies to present a united front in global trade policy as a counterweight to China. Biden has targeted Beijing on several fronts and singled out Chinese President Xi Jinping during a debate with other presidential candidates in February. "This is a guy who doesn't have a democratic — with a small d — bone in his body," he said then. "This is a guy who is a thug." His campaign also referred to the crackdown on the Moslem Uighur minority in China's Xinjiang province as a "genocide," provocative language to Beijing with potential ramifications under international law. |

#9 Did Biden really have a hairline bone fracture or did he put on a boot for sympathy? Just asking for a friend. |

#6 Power re-negotiations on an unfulfilled contract while the election is still up in the air, with the people who rigged the voting machines. Bold move. |
