The article concludes that Biden should find new ways to deal with China, rather than trying to force China to change itself.
Biden should take bold steps to soften his rhetoric, such as rolling back Trump-era tariffs on Chinese goods.
Otherwise, Biden will miss the opportunity to be a shrewd and strategic president, and instead become a president who will confront China at every turn.
