Weak Joe Biden could start war, opined Chinese Advisor

A chinese government Advisor Zheng Yongnian has opined that Joe Bide is certainly a very weak President, if he can't sort out domestic issues, then he will do something on the diplomatic front, do something against China. The Democratic President could start wars. Yongnian, who  is the Dean of the Advanced Institute of Global and Contemporary China Studies, a Shenzhen-based think tank, has said that the Chinese government should utilise every opportunity to mend ties with the US. 

China must drop its illusion that its relations with the United States will automatically improve under President-elect Joe Biden's administration. Beijing should be prepared for a tough stance from Washington, Yongnian said. oe Biden might take advantage of the public resentment towards China after he entered the White House. "American society is torn apart. I don't think Biden can do anything about it," Zheng said. He further said that the good old days are over... the Cold War hawks in the US have been in a highly mobilised state for several years, and they will not disappear overnight.  Chinese foreign policy specialists have said they expect tensions between the US and China to continue under the Biden presidency. At times during the election campaign, Biden took a tough line on China, calling Xi a "thug".

The relationship between China and the United States has deteriorated under President Trump over a variety of reasons, including the COVID-19 handling, trade and human rights. Over 300 separate Bills targeting China have been drawn up by both Democrats and Republicans in the Congress, and the important ones addressing the catastrophes in Hong Kong and Xinjiang enjoyed full bipartisan support.
