With the Joe Biden administration busy reversing the previous administration s policies, there is hope it would also reverse the regressive trend former president Donald Trump s set for China-US relations.
The Trump administration s trade war, tech war, suspension of bilateral exchange mechanisms and McCarthyist measures against Chinese journalists and media outlets and the Confucius Institutes in the United States should all be abandoned.
The most consequential bilateral relationship deserves the urgent attention of the US administration despite the extremely long list of domestic priorities for President Biden. Competition is welcome but as long as it is fair, open and based on rules－attempts to sabotage China s development during the Trump era cannot be called competition. The Trump administration s persecution of Huawei in the 5G rollout is a case in point.

In a joint appeal, six world leaders called for more multilateral cooperation as a recipe to overcome global challenges and steer the world towards recovery.
French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, Senegalese President Macky Sall, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel all signed off on the letter.
The leaders said that over the last few decades two major crises - the coronavirus pandemic more recently and climate change more generally - had impeded societies and common policy frameworks, casting doubt on our capacity to overcome shocks, address their root causes, and secure a better future for generations to come.
