President Joe Biden’s China policy looks like an amalgam of the Trump and Obama administrations: a blend of the former’s collaborative approach with the hardline stance of the latter, according to the White House’s top aide on Asia.
“It’s an interesting compilation and combination—almost an amalgam—of elements from President Obama and President Trump,” Kurt Campbell, a top official responsible for Indo-Pacific affairs at the National Security Council, said at The Wall Street Journal’s CEO Council Summit. “I think there is wisdom in some of each approach, even though there’s some contradictions as well.”
