The administration has toned down the anti-China rhetoric, but it has maintained and expanded economic sanctions—and plans a “diplomatic boycott” of the Olympics.
“I don’t see a lot of daylight between the two administrations on national security,” says Nazak Nikakhtar, a former Commerce Department official under Trump.
To a large extent, Biden is penned in because he needs to avoid sparking World War III while not looking “soft” when the US public and Congress hold increasingly negative views of China. And China’s more authoritarian turn under President Xi Jinping—particularly rolling back democracy in Hong Kong and oppressing its Muslim populations—have made it more difficult to reset the relationship.
But analysts say Biden has not offered a distinct China policy, except to say the two countries are competitors. “It’s very hard for the Biden administration to move in a high-profile, public, or fast way, because of the political space that’s so narrow on things related to China,” says Susan Thornton, a career diplomat who was responsible for China policy in the late Obama and early Trump administrations.
Thornton says it’s hard to discern the policy behind the bans and restrictions on Chinese company. The Biden administration has said, but “if that’s the case, I really don’t understand what we’re doing,” she adds. And it’s a hard case to make when Trump-era tariffs remain in place, and the list of Chinese companies facing trade and investment restrictions continues to grow.
