Yeah, Biden is going to do a great job with China, let us not forget his son's entanglements that allegedly involve his father, then there's Joe's own ignorance when it comes to China..... "China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man. They can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean in the west, They can’t figure out how they are going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not competition for us."
Now you may think that Slo Joe is better informed now that he is president of the United States, but I seriously doubt it, I have to wonder if he can remember his way into the bathroom in his new residence, then let us not forget that his most recent job prior to becoming president of the United States was Vice President of the United States, where his boss characterized him as "being able to F anything up."

The only bright spot in this entire military fiasco is that their equipment is 'Made In China'....well, except for their second rate aircraft carrier they bought from a Russian used car lot...

Nah Trump was probably viewed by China as well as N. Korea as unstable.
They were probably thinking we dont know what this crazy SOG will do.
They already know they have Biden and Harris in their pockets.
Maybe that is for the rest of us.
Biden leads from a position of weakness.
You beat a bully by standing up to them.
Biden will let Chi tech into our power grid telecomm infrastructure. You full well know being an ex IT pro that is a huge no no.

There will be no war Krak. Besides with Canada their ally as a launching pad.
It would be almost a cake walk.

Let me understand this - we continually upgrade our military. Have 500 bases around the world, have never been threatened militarily by China since the Korea war/ yet we are worried about another country going far far less than our military hegemonic action everywhere.
It’s fair and honest to be worried economically and we should be and we should rise to the challenge .
