Recently, many Western countries are ready to move, and they are frequently making big moves in the international community. The United States has once again embarked on the path of hegemony. Biden has introduced two strategies for China's science and technology field, and at the same time formed a strong strategy team for China. Secretary of State Blincoln is even more radical. He is worried that China will replace the United States. He always urges Biden to participate in the formulation of international rules. At the same time, he urges India, Japan, Australia and the United States to hold a "quartet meeting."
This meeting will also mean that the "Trump Ghost" is coming back from the dead.
According to US media reports, on February 18, local time, Brinken will hold an online meeting with the foreign ministers of Japan, India and Australia. The main purpose of this "four-party security dialogue" that Washington is working hard to promote is to check and balance China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific region.
During Trump’s administration, he strongly supported allies to restrict China in the Indo-Pacific region. In September and October last year, the United States took the lead in holding two four-nation meetings to discuss the so-called "Indo-Pacific free and open". By November, these four countries A massive maritime joint military exercise was also launched to provoke China.
In the end, Trump sadly left office, but before leaving office, he left Biden with the US strategy in the Indo-Pacific region as a legacy.
On January 12, the White House, on behalf of the Trump administration, conducted an in-depth declassification of the "U.S. Strategic Framework for the Indo-Pacific Region." It seems that Trump is showing off to Biden: "Please take a look at my great idea. After I leave office, no matter how much you hate me, you must also carry forward this strategy."
It is reported. In the White House’s declassified statement, the United States’ three major challenges in the Indo-Pacific region were listed. In order to cope with these three major challenges, the Trump administration has also made 14 assumptions with good intentions. Among them, six hypotheses all directly talk about China, claiming that the United States wants to prevent the rise of China in all aspects. They also specifically mentioned the challenges that China's development in the field of science and technology has brought to the United States, saying that a strong India and China should be allowed to compete.
After making all-round assumptions, Trump also deliberately set seven major goals for China and the course of action to achieve the goals.
Of course,All of these seven goals are premised on the promotion of American hegemonism and checks and balances of China's development. When Biden first came to power, he also said that the new government will review all the policies that Trump has introduced, but now, he plans to inherit Trump's legacy.
I don’t know if it was when the White House was deciphering this strategy. Biden smiled knowingly and thought: “Trump has dug so many holes, but he is serious enough to achieve US hegemony.”
In the first few days of coming to power, the political situation in the United States was unstable. Biden was still very careful about China. Neither he nor his Secretary of State Blincol blatantly confronted China, and always avoided the strategic measures of the Trump era. Recently, some countries in the Group of Seven (G7) formed by Western developed countries have set off a wave of anti-China, and the United States has also seized the opportunity.
Secretary of State Blincoln publicly stated that the Trump administration's long-term tough attitude towards China is not wrong, but there are some strategic problems. In other words, as the leader of the Biden administration in diplomacy, he will also follow in Trump's footsteps.
At the same time that Brinken promoted the four-sided talks to check and balance China, Russia and Iran have already held a joint naval exercise in the Indian Ocean and invited China to participate. This military exercise is called "Maritime Safety Belt 2021" and is intended to show the United States and its allies its main strength. However, China has not yet participated, and the US Secretary of Defense has immediately responded, saying: "This kind of military exercise will not hinder the free navigation of the US military and support allies." The "world arrogant nation" that still dominates the region today must realize that it should leave the region."
But now that Trump's "ghost" is resurrected, it may be difficult to dissipate. Especially with regard to China, in addition to the four-sided meeting led by Brinken, Biden is also about to start an online meeting with the leaders of the G7 countries as the president of the United States. There is no doubt that dealing with China is still his core issue, and Biden seems to be turning around again and embarking on Trump's old path.
