The Trends Center for Research and Consultation has released a new study in a series of strategic studies titled: “Biden’s Choices in His Foreign Policy toward China,” prepared by Dr. Nazir Al-Dala’a, principal researcher at the Trends Center, and professor of international relations at Shandong University in China.
The study included several axes, the most important of which are Biden’s choices in his foreign policy toward China at a time of increasing tension between the two countries. She indicated that despite US President Joe Biden’s sharp and frantic rhetoric, he has limited options in his foreign policy towards China, and he does not have a clearly defined foreign policy. Understanding China. While the United States highlights it as a danger to the international community, it at the same time underestimates its rise conceptually, and slanders its progress at all levels.
In his study, he said: The United States of America has accomplished a lot in its relationship with China, through an American vision of China and not through an American policy. As the US policy towards China accompanies the production of political and economic knowledge in the US about China.
He explained that the American knowledge-producing institutions played a major role in framing China in line with the United States’ view of itself and others within the framework of its insistence that it is the only superpower.
The study stated that China’s adoption of the policy of “avoiding attracting attention” is one of the problems that China still faces in its dealings with the United States, especially after accepting the status of American hegemony and recognizing that the United States of America is the only superpower in the world.
She pointed out that the policy of “avoiding attracting attention” has shifted over time, from being a “policy” to a prevailing “idea” that put China in second place after the United States, and this has nothing to do with the economic power of the two countries, but rather with a hierarchy in who is the first decision in the international system .
The study said: This situation began to change when the Chinese became aware that Trump’s policies toward China had shifted from the production of knowledge to the hegemony of political performance toward it, but the policies of maximum pressure that he pursued prompted China to confront them.
The study concluded that Biden’s military options toward China depend on whether or not China invades Taiwan, and China has not invaded Taiwan for the past 70 years. She stated that the recent US encouragement of Taiwan to be more aggressive is more dangerous than American warmongers might think.
The study said: The United States of America invaded Afghanistan and Iraq and ended up negotiating with the Taliban, and concluded by saying that the writer Jonathan Hellman provided the best explanation for this by saying: As important, if not more important, than military power, starting this race with a worn out infrastructure is like lining up for a marathon with a broken ankle.”
