The nominee of Secretary of State Tony Blincoln, who will lead the next administration’s foreign policy by Joe Biden, said Donald Trump’s public hardship was “approached, but tactical wrong.”
According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP), Blincoln’s nominee said at the Senate approval hearing on the 19th (local time), saying, “China is aiming for the status of a world power and undermining the interests of the United States.”
“China is the biggest challenge,” Blincoln criticized, saying, “In recent years, especially after Xi Jinping emerged as a leader, China has not shown any signs of hiding or waiting.”
In this regard, he said, “I believe it is right for President Trump to have a harder approach to China.” I think.”
“Do you have any doubts that the CCP’s goal is to become a major political, geopolitical, military and economic power in the world,” Senator Mark Rubio (Republican) asked, “No, I do not doubt.”
Specifically, he said, “Democracy is being trampled on Hong Kong.”
When asked about China’s oppression of the Uighurs, he criticized “the Chinese government is putting men, women and children into concentration camps and re-education to accept the Chinese Communist Party ideology, all of which is an effort to commit genocide.” .
“I would like to see Taiwan play a bigger role in the world,” Blincoln said of Taiwan, saying, “I will definitely keep the Biden administration’s promise to help Taiwan defend itself from Chinese aggression.”
SCMP evaluated the remarks on the day as “the Biden administration shows that the Trump administration’s hardline policy will continue.” However, nominee Blincoln said, “We will deal with China through cooperation with traditional allies,” he said. He announced that he would implement a policy of pressure on China through international cooperation.
Nominee Blincoln is a public hardliner who has criticized the CCP as a danger to the free world in press interviews and speeches. In addition to the Blincoln nominee, the head of defense, finance and intelligence, who will form the early cabinet of Biden, poured out a hard message against China at a hearing on the same day.
This is in line with Biden’s view of China. Biden met President Xi several times during his tenure as Vice President, and during the presidential election, he called him a’bad boy’. In addition, the SCMP reported that China’s actions in Xinjiang have been described as’genocide’, which is the same as the Nazi massacre of Jews.
