Two China policy analysts offered their expertise on the growing tensions between the United States and Communist China and the predictions are not good. Gordon Chang and Dr. Jonathan Ward both noted that China will be aggressive toward the U.S because the country believes they can surpass us and don’t view Biden as a tough enough opponent.

The Daily Wire reports:
“We have seen this, for instance, with joining the Paris accord, rejoining the World Health Organization, his January 26 memorandum on xenophobic attacks, which he blamed President Trump for xenophobia in the United States,” Chang said. “The list goes on and on. And we have really got to be concerned, because China is looking right now and thinking it’s going to get everything.”

Dr. Jonathan Ward, founder of the Atlas Organization and author of “China’s Vision of Victory,” told Fox News host Maria Bartiromo that China’s actions are rooted in their belief that they are going to surpass the U.S.
“I think the thing is, they think that they’re going to beat us in this new Cold War, or whatever we want to call it. The contest with China is one that they believe that they will win,” Ward said. “They believe that COVID-19 has put them in an advantageous position. They have said for a long time that they’re going to turn crisis into an opportunity, strengthen their position in the world economy.”
“They have done that, in a sense. They were the only major economy to grow in 2020. They surpassed the U.S. as the leading destination for FDI. And many of our companies are heavily dependent on the China market,” Ward continued. “So, I think what the new administration is dealing with is this economic contest. China knows that, if they become the world’s dominant economy, the rest will fall into place. So, they feel very confident. And they’re going to be quite aggressive. So, the new administration has to be ready for all of that.”
The Chinese were undoubtedly pleased when Biden became president after Trump was notoriously harsh on Chinas throughout his term.
