China's Xi may be screwing up as badly as Biden, maybe even worse

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said Wednesday night that China was "Not competition" for the U.S., prompting blowback from prominent members of both political parties.

At an event in Iowa City, Biden was explaining why he believes concerns that China could eventually surpass the U.S. as a world superpower and economic force are overstated.

Now, even Biden and the most establishmentarian of diplomatic commentators recognize that China is the geopolitical threat to face this century.

China under the near-dictatorial rule of Xi Jinping is alienating most of the world's advanced economies.

We know that when people got sick in Wuhan, China shut down travel to the rest of China while allowing Chinese to travel overseas, a near-smoking gun bit of evidence that China saw it as a bioweapon, whether or not it was deliberately engineered as such.

Australia has had the effrontery to demand a reckoning from China on COVID's origins and has been mercilessly bullied by China for doing so.

After Mao's death, as the U.S. led China back into the world trade system and economic structures were loosened domestically, China modernized with blinding speed and rose to the level of peer and rival of the United States as world leader.
