拜登国家安全代表杰克·沙利文说，美国应鼓励中国崛起

这是17年的讲话，在熊大帝登基后就不是这样子说了。#今非昔比#

Biden and China, by David Leonhardt

Biden and his aides have signaled that they will not return to the wishful pre-Trump policy toward China (even though several of them helped shape that policy in the Obama administration). “The United States does need to get tough with China,” Biden wrote in Foreign Affairs magazine in January.

To do so, they will use diplomacy. Antony Blinken, Biden’s choice for secretary of state, said this summer: “We are in a competition with China … We need to rally our allies and partners instead of alienating them to deal with some of the challenges that China poses.” Jake Sullivan, the incoming national security adviser, has written (along with the historian Hal Brands) that the way to check China’s display of a “superpower’s ambition” and maintain U.S. influence is to end “the current trajectory of self-sabotage.”

Biden, speaking about his new appointees yesterday, said, “They embody my core beliefs that America is strongest when it works with its allies.”

In concrete terms, this could mean forging more agreements on restricting the use of Chinese technology, like Huawei. It could mean creating economic alliances that invest in developing countries only if they agree to respect intellectual property and human rights — and trying to isolate China in the process.

The larger goal will be making other countries believe that the U.S. is no longer going it alone. “The narrative in Asia,” Michael Green of the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told me, “is that America is out of the game.”

摘录一段Fox下面的高赞评论，不妨一看：

According to Sullivan:

“We need to strike a middle course – one that encourages China’s rise in a manner consistent with an open, fair, rules-based, regional order,”

But that is the problem, China has never shown any indication of being consistent with open, fair, rules-based, regional order.

China both steals intellectual property, forces it to be turned over to the government as part of doing business in China and basically does not protect intellectual property rights.

China artificially manipulates its currency.

China does not respect basic human rights.

China has a horrible record on environmental issues.

China has neither free press or open access to the internet.

What makes anyone think that any of this will ever change?

This is like claiming we should give the mafia a chance to behave.

不清楚评论者是华人还是native，评论者对中华人民共和国政权的行事作风认识还是蛮深刻的。

"This is like claiming we should give the mafia a chance to behave."

Actually US indeed gave mafia a second chance to behave. And they did!

新疆，香港和疫情这三件事已经永久的改变了美国主流政坛对中国的看法了，克林顿-小布什-奥巴马的美好时代是再也回不去了。新疆和香港的法案都是两党一致高票通过（然而川普硬是拖到最后一天才签署并且拒绝执行），拜登按照他目前的人设只需要做好国会的傀儡就可以继续对华强硬的政策。

目前比较大的存疑的点是，拜登政权看起来会很关注全球变暖的问题，需要在这个问题上与中国合作，而与中国的任何合作最后都以中国赢两次告终。更何况中国领导层恐怕从来都不觉得全球变暖是个问题，清北的精英都是如此，更不用说梁家河大学生了，估计中国政府只会把气候问题当成又一个要挟美国的筹码，到时候就看民主党政府怎么处理了，会不会为了气候去牺牲新疆和香港的人权。

@KingSager #114692 首先民众的记忆力只有7秒，其次他们很喜欢中国奴隶工厂生产的廉价商品，再次和中国有生意的老板们会不停说中国的好话，再再次民主国家的政客的任务是讨好这些民众和老板，最后你会看到所谓“永久的改变了对中国的看法”就是个笑话。

@笑看美分恨国党 #114759 血汗工厂已经不少转移到越南等地去了。
