Senior Biden administration officials have been on a whirlwind tour of the Asia-Pacific before a meeting with their Chinese counterparts in Alaska this week, writes Stephen Bartholomeusz. | OPINION

– Joe Biden, Japan’s Yoshihide Suga, India’s Narendra Modi and Scott Morrison – wasn’t ostensibly an attempt to strengthen an anti-China alliance. It covered a range of issues from vaccines to climate change.

That’s going to be an awkward meeting, with the US already acknowledging that there will be some topics – human rights, Taiwan, Hong Kong and the South China Sea are the obvious ones - that will be difficult. If the US relationships with Japan, South Korea and India continue to develop and Biden can re-establish a closer and more trustful relationship with the EU, it would be far more difficult for China to try to exploit the fissures in the alliances that the Trump years created.

Biden administration aims to 'hold China accountable' | Sky News AustraliaUS politics expert Michael Ware says the Biden administration is “maintaining a very firm stance with China” and America will continue to highlight China’s human rights abuses.\n\n“President Biden who, has a long relationship with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping … stressed to his Chinese counterpart ‘look we want competition not confrontation’,” Mr Ware told Sky News. \n\nMr Ware said President Biden wants to “hold China accountable to playing by the rules” and claimed Chinese President Xi Jinping understood.\n\n“He also said America is built on values like human rights and ‘we’re keep calling you out on those’ and he said the Chinese leader understood that.”\n The US wanted to use Al Qaeda to attack China in Xinjiang but got 9/11 instead.

Is it me or does Michael Ware seemed constantly pissed?
