China’s National People’s Congress starts amid rising geo-political tensions The annual week-long meeting of China’s National People’s Congress (NPC) began yesterday, overshadowed by a continuing rise of tensions with the US. Just weeks after his inauguration on January 20, President Joe Biden has already set out to escalate the confrontation with China that had its origins in the Obama administration’s “pivot to Asia,” of which Biden was a part, and was intensified under Trump. The discussion at the NPC is shaped by fears in Beijing that Biden will continue Trump’s aggressive trade war measures, naval provocations in the South China Sea and Taiwan Strait, close to the Chinese mainland, and a broader military build-up in the Indo-Pacific in preparation for war.
