摘要

U.S. President Joe Biden and his government officials have put forward a hard line against China in their tenure, describing the authoritarian government as an economic and security challenge to the United States, one which required a more strategic and calculated approach than that of the Donald Trump's administration. This article will focus on the Biden's administration strategic turn to China. The following sections will give an overview of the similarities and differences between Biden and Trump's China policies, U.S. strategic competition and cooperation with China within the rules-based order, U.S. trade policy with China guided by a ＂foreign policy for the middle class,＂ and concluding remarks with a future development of U.S.-China relations. Finally, it suggests that for any future U.S. toward China strategy to be effective, it must above all be operationalized rather than merely declared.
