No, relations with China were warm right up through the end of the Obama administration and into Trump's first term. That's why the first approach China took to the Biden administration was to hope for straightforward normalization of relations.
China started issuing 10-year visas to Americans under Obama. The Wolf Warrior movies, after which the policy is named, started coming out in 2015.

- thaumasiotes 2y agoYou don't have the slightest clue what you're saying. He took over in 2012.
- wordofx 2y agoAnd everything went downhill from there.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoAnd then the ten-year visa agreement happened in 2014. Why are you commenting at all?
- wordofx 2y agoBecause you said it started in 2015. It started in 2012.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoI said it started under Trump. You might or might not be aware that he became president in 2016. What do you think happened in 2012?
- wordofx 2y agoXi took power. That’s when relations went down the drain.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoDo you have an example illustrating that? What happened that reflected worsened relations? Is there any chance you're just making up everything you say?
