Biden’s Anti-China Ambitions
Like Trump, Joe Biden is committed to a distinctly anti-China global strategy rooted in fears of American decline.
Apr. 24 - Like his immediate predecessor, Joe Biden is committed to a distinctly anti-China global strategy and has sworn that China will not “become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country in the world…on my watch.” In the topsy-turvy universe created by the Covid-19 pandemic, it was, however, Jamie Dimon, the CEO and chairman of JP Morgan Chase, a banking giant with assets of $3.4 trillion, who spoke truth to Biden on the subject.
While predicting an immediate boom in the US economy “that could easily run into 2023,” Dimon had grimmer news on the future as well. “China’s leaders believe that America is in decline,” he wrote in his annual letter to the company’s shareholders. While the United States had faced tough times in the past, he added, today “the Chinese see an America that is losing ground in technology, infrastructure, and education—a nation torn and crippled by politics, as well as racial and income inequality—and a country unable to coordinate government policies (fiscal, monetary, industrial, regulatory) in any coherent way to accomplish national goals.” He was forthright enough to say, “Unfortunately, recently, there is a lot of truth to this.”
As for China, Dimon could also have added, its government possesses at least two powerful levers in areas where the United States is likely to prove vulnerable: dominant control of container ports worldwide and the supplies of rare earth metals critical not just to the information-technology sector but also to the production of electric and hybrid cars, jet fighters, and missile guidance systems. And that’s only a partial list of the areas where China is poised to become dominant in the foreseeable future. Here’s a likely scenario.

White House Daily Briefing
Interior Secretary Deb Haaland joined Press Secretary Jen Psaki at the White House to emphasis the administration’s commitment to addressing climate change. The first Native American cabinet member said, “I believe that a clean energy future is within our grasp in the United States.” She responded to questions about a pause in new oil and gas permitting, fracking, federal assistance for under-served communities and preserving America’s National Parks. Ms. Psaki also announced President Biden’s first planned international trip, which he’ll take in June to Great Britain and Belgium. She answered a variety of questions from reporters on the climate summit, the American Jobs Plan, the potential for a White House declaration on Armenian genocide, COVID-19 vaccine distribution and the president’s plans for future travel.

US Says China 'Not Doing Enough' on Climate
Apr. 24, TEHRAN (FNA)- Special Climate Envoy John Kerry stated Friday night that China isn’t doing enough on climate change after the country said at a White House climate summit this week that it would try to reduce its coal use starting in a few years.
After acknowledging some of the promises Chinese President Xi Jinping made, Kerry argued during a CNN town hall that the country is “not doing enough".
“They have a massive coal dependency. We have to try to get them to move further and we have to also ask China not to be funding the building of new coal-fired power plants in other parts of the world,” he added.
China, during the White House event this week, announced it would “strictly limit” its increase in coal consumption through 2025 and start to “phase it down” starting in 2026.
Xi also noted that the country plans to “strictly control” coal-fired power plant projects.
However, unlike countries such as the US that will seek to reduce their greenhouse emissions over the course of the next decade, China announced that it expects its emissions to peak in 2030.
China is the world’s largest greenhouse gas emitter and the US is the second-largest.
