China and the US under diplomatic tensions

US relations with Beijing are deteriorating and have not been “restored” under President Joe Biden in the way many previously expected, said Max Baucus, a former US ambassador to China. Baucus said that Biden’s policies on China are “as strong as Trump’s.” The former ambassador said the risk of a military showdown between the United States and China over Taiwan is increasing, but he does not believe the two countries will go to war.

Tensions between the United States and China grew rapidly under former US President Donald Trump, who imposed higher tariffs on Chinese goods and placed some Chinese companies on a blacklist that limits their business in the United States. Trump broke with decades of American foreign policy by bringing the United States closer to Taiwan during his tenure. The Biden administration has continued on that trajectory, and the State Department issued new guidelines in April to allow US officials to meet more freely with their Taiwanese counterparts.
