The Biden administration is building a Cold War-style web of alliances to contain China. Will China strike back?

The two are trying to distance themselves from the administration’s handling of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis, particularly the treatment of Haitian migrants.China wasn’t fooled. Its diplomats have spent months denouncing the Quad as a Cold War-style alliance aimed at containing Beijing’s rise as the dominant power in Asia.Biden and his fellow Quad leaders never publicly uttered the word “China,” but the Quad is all about containment.

All four are democracies. More to the point, all four have been alarmed to see China exert economic and military power to get its way — from seizing islands and building bases on contested territory in the South China Sea to threatening Taiwan and attacking Indian army positions in the Himalayas. China is very good at many things: economic growth, large-scale construction projects, acquiring foreign technology, cyberespionage. But it hasn’t been successful at making friends. It’s a superpower with client states but no real allies, unless you count Pakistan and, recently, Russia.That helps explain the fury of Chinese denunciations of the Quad, Aukus and other regional groupings: It’s a game they can’t play.

What happens if they decide to start a pandemic? How do we respond? 🤔

Maybe so, but most would agree that allowing China to take control of the Pacific and elsewhere is not a good idea. So, keep them in check, promote trade, and leverage them toward a free society. What’s wrong with that? Tariffs and threats certainly didn’t work.

POTUS will cave, he’s doing his best to make the US weak especially when going up against a country like China.

Stop hate from Hindus... Islamist do propaganda against Hindus... In India more than 2.5 billions Muslims live and you call (2.5 people) minority ? Christian, Jainism and Buddhist are minority in India which are less than 1% of total population.

Today is not Bastille Day.

Something has to be done about the Uyghur genocide & what they're doing to Hong Kong, not to mention human rights activists in China itself.

Good. Gather our allies, build up our military, and stifle them economically. Isolating China might be a little economically painful at first, but it will probably benefit us economically in the long run. Besides, nothing brings the American people together like a villain.

So U.S can't challenge China alone?
