Joe Biden’s Administration on China’s containment policy

Abstract

The article is devoted to a content analysis of various Sino-American sources to determine the future relationship between the People’s Republic of China and the United States of America during the presidency of the 46th US President Joe Biden and his team. The purpose of the article is to review the new representatives of the American government, to establish their positions in the China containment policy, as well as to study the views of the Chinese community about the Biden’s team for the subsequent forecast of the future actions of the new US administration regarding China. As result, the article provides some forecasts for the upcoming changes in the US strategy towards China. During the analysis, the authors concluded that the Biden administration will be distinguished by a higher degree of coordination between government agencies. The United States will continue its policy of containing China but will also choose to cooperate with China on selected issues of common interest. A partial restoration of military relations between them is possible, and the risks of sudden armed conflicts will decrease. Thus, it is expected that US policy during the presidency of Joe Biden will have a more “cautious” direction.
