“The good old days are over … the cold war hawks in the US have been in a highly mobilized state for several years, and they will not disappear overnight.”
“President-elect Joe Biden might take advantage of the public resentment towards China after he entered the White House. “American society is torn apart. I don’t think Biden can do anything about it.”
“The deteriorating US-China relationship is the victim of internal problems in the US, and an external reflection of US internal problems.”
