- mhh__ 6y agoAre they being rushed out? What is the play with Biden and China? It makes no sense to any part of his base, and it just reeks of koolaid-drinking.
- fat_pikachu 6y agoDo you think we'd see a flurry of executive action this month on China policy in the alternate universe where Trump has a second term. > What is the play with Biden and China? There's nothing underhanded going on between Biden and China, at least not in my mind. But Biden campaigned on returning to the status quo, meaning little action on China. They're implementing these EOs now because they think he won't undo them, but he won't pass them either if given the choice.
- bostonsre 6y agoI kind of think it might be a good thing that they are rushing them out. It allows Biden to appear more moderate and it gives him more bargaining power to work with after the transition. Appeasement hasn't worked. I would be terrified to be a citizen in a country anywhere near China right now, countries in the region are slowly getting muscled and beaten back. I feel horrible for Hong Kong and Taiwan is next unless we can back them up. Hopefully a little good comes out of the cluster f of drama in the Whitehouse.
