China Lists Four ‘Red Lines' to Biden, Demands US Lift Tariffs and Sanctions

Chinese foreign affairs minister Wang Yi urged the United States to meet four requirements from Xi Jinping's regime at the Lanting Forum, a video conference organized by the Chinese foreign affairs ministry on Feb. 22.

The requests include: ending support for Taiwan, Hong Kong, Xinjiang, and Tibet; resuming the U.S.-China dialogue; ending the tariffs on Chinese products and sanctions on Chinese enterprises; and removing all restrictions on China's news agencies and cultural entities such as the Confucius Institutes.

After President Joe Biden announced that he won the presidential election, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and his senior diplomats urged the United States to change its China policy and criticized the United States for being unilateral and holding prejudice against China.

The third is ending additional tariffs on Chinese products, lifting the sanctions on Chinese enterprises and institutes, and supporting China's technology development.

The Trump administration designated several Chinese organizations, such as state media outlets and the Confucius Institute U.S. Center, as foreign missions, recognizing their roles organs of the Chinese Communist Party.

On the Xinjiang issue, Biden believes that the Chinese regime has committed "Genocide" and "Crimes against humanity" against Uyghur Muslims-a designation that was announced by the Trump administration a day before the presidential inauguration-according to National Security Council spokesperson Emily Horne.

There's been no clear information about Biden's policy on Taiwan, the South China Sea, and sanctions on Chinese enterprises.
