Biden's desperate bid to curtail China's rise will prove to be futile

China Daily  

US Vice President Kamala Harri and Forest Service Chief Randy Moore listen to US President Joe Biden during a briefing on the federal response to the wildfires across Los Angeles at the White House in Washington, US, 9 Jan, 2025. With just a few weeks left in office, US President Joe Biden has been wasting no time in desperately trying to check China's rise. The US administration has put 134 Chinese enterprises, including shipping giant COSCO and oil company China National Offshore Oil Corp, on the blacklist. In an exclusive interview with The New York Times on Jan 4, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken explained how the Biden administration had ganged up with the United States' European allies against China. According to US State Department spokesman Matthew Miller, Blinken and Japanese leaders discussed the "PRC's dangerous and destabilizing behavior in the South China Sea" and both sides "reiterated the importance of maintaining peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait".
