A lot of folks have been wondering about how Joe Biden will handle the single biggest issue in global geopolitics right now: China. It will help to understand what policy steps trump has taken in his 4 year terms which matter and what Biden will do well to continue...
We begin with 5G which ia the first cutting edge technology where china leads the world ever since the investing of the gunpowder in the middle ages. Trump has dealt a hammer blow to huawei,greeting multiple countries like australia,UK and others in the west to restrict it..
Pompeo,more than trump was the guy who came out with the clean network initiative which not only dealt with huawei but can serve as a wider initiative to ban dodgy Chinese tech. https://www.forbes.com/sites/roslynlayton/2020/09/04/state-departments-5g-clean-network-club-gains-members-quickly/?sh=11ed983f7536
Cutting chinese firms from western (and other asian countries like India and Japan) markets does two things: severely constrain the cash flow in huawei's business since these markets are lucrative .but more importantly cut chinese firms fro western tech on which they depend
The best example is huawei. Having been cut off from all chip modern chip manufacturers by the trump administration it is panic stations for China's tech champion. All cutting edge chips are made using US tech which Trump cut huawei's access to. https://techhq.com/2020/08/are-trumps-latest-restrictions-the-death-knell-for-huawei/
If folks were wondering chinese manufacturers can help huawei. Right now they cant. Chinese firsna re way behind industry leader TSMC in their ability to make cutting edge chips. And they depend on American tech,access to which is now restricted. https://www.cnbc.com/2020/09/28/us-sanctions-against-chipmaker-smic-hit-china-tech-ambitions.html
Also The only leader to speak up and put costs on china for genocide of uighur muslims is defender-of-momineen al-trump. Something no muslim leader has the guts to do. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/31/us/politics/sanctions-china-xinjiang-uighurs.html
Also trump was the only leader to sanction CCP's Hong Kong poodles. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ft.com/content/6822dffd-8cb8-494d-9a89-c6ee29a345d4
Trump's sanctions not only affected leader but hit entire CCP organisations. Like the XPCC or the bingtuan: a notoroius CCP-PLA run settler-farmer-militia at the forefront of interment of uighurs. How big is that? XPCC alone makes 7% of the world's cotton https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/sanctions-china-cotton-xinjiang-uighurs-fashion/2020/08/20/188ec374-dd48-11ea-b4f1-25b762cdbbf4_story.html
A major loss would be Pompeo,who not only doesn't call Xi "President Of China" but "General Secretary of CCP" but questions the entire legitimacy of the CCP to rule. Shekhar Gupta pressed him and he was blunt,how he doesn't see any legitimacy for CCP.
Trump not only got tiktok to consider getting sold to a US owner. But also was close to getting Tencent and alibaba under sanctions. Combined worth of these two firms is $1.2 trillion,a move like that would have made schenzehn tech shake in their boots. https://www.ft.com/content/7b714fe4-cdb5-4ee6-966a-35ec2bbe1e92
And there were more. For now,it is vital biden stays this course because trump administration(especially Mike Pompeo) had gotten China right and we're screwing china across front. Any concession on these will only help china.
