Abstract

The Biden Administration has accepted the Trump Administration’s definition of China as a ‘strategic competitor’, and has retained Trump’s tariffs, the ‘Quad’, and the upgrade in Taiwan’s protocol status. But Biden’s China policy is different from Trump’s in being truly strategic. The key elements of that strategy are focused on improving the United States’ competitiveness domestically and in international affairs; cooperation with allies and partners; an emphasis on human rights; partial decoupling of economic and technology relationships; and a search for some areas of cooperation with China. Success for the Biden strategy would consist neither of bottling up China in its current global power position nor in achieving a negotiated condominium in Asia. The Biden Administration would succeed if the United States can maintain its alliance system, keep a robust military presence in East Asia and prevent the forcible integration of Taiwan into China while avoiding major war. Several features of the China challenge make it reasonable to hope that such success is possible.

拜登的对华政策:新瓶装旧酒?
拜登政府接受了特朗普政府将中国定义为“战略竞争对手”的定义,并保留了特朗普的关税、“四方对话”以及台湾礼宾地位的提升。但拜登的对华政策不同于特朗普的真正战略。该战略的关键要素集中在提高美国在国内和国际事务中的竞争力;与盟国和伙伴的合作;强调人权;经济与技术关系的部分脱钩;寻找与中国合作的领域。拜登战略的成功既不在于遏制中国目前的全球大国地位,也不在于通过谈判在亚洲达成共识。如果美国能够维持其联盟体系,在东亚保持强大的军事存在,并在避免重大战争的同时防止台湾强行并入中国,拜登的计划就会成功。中国挑战的几个特点使我们有理由希望这种成功是可能的。

期刊介绍: China Report promotes the free expression and discussion of different ideas, approaches and viewpoints which assist a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours. A quarterly journal of the Institute of Chinese Studies, it attempts to provide a fresh approach which goes beyond the strictly utilitarian area studies without becoming antiquarian. Launched in 1964, China Report has, over the years, widened its interests and aims and transformed itself into a scholarly journal that seeks a better understanding of China and its East Asian neighbours - particularly their cultures, their development and their relations with China. It is an indispensable source of information on China, its society and culture.
