Joe Biden’s incoming administration in many ways represents a return to the Obama era, but US relations with China will be an important exception, says James Forsyth
We cannot return to an Obama-era China strategy. @JJCarafano :
Team Biden will inherit a US foreign policy establishment that views Beijing with far more concern than it did during the Obama era. He will likely refuse to endorse a new Cold War with China, but seek to push back on conventions governing technology
Another good example: this anonymous piece from an anonymous Japanese official in @aminterest in praise of Trump's robust China policy, and scathing about Obama era-Asia policy. [3]
The Trump administration is weighing a face-saving strategy for keeping an Obama-era nuclear treaty from expiring while it pursues a more sweeping arms pact with both Russia and China
Time to clean house: @mikepillsbury estimates between 95 and 100% of Obama era holdovers at the Pentagon are still advising @realDonaldTrump ’s administration on China, and says @POTUS has begun to turn his attention towards removing them. #MAGA #AmericaFirst #Dobbs

The failed Obama-era Clean Power Plan would have killed tens of thousands of jobs, sent electricity prices soaring for low-income communities, and sold off our economic edge to overseas competitors like China. All for no meaningful change in global temperatures.
This is really extraordinary: renewable energy is significantly underpricing coal, already. And it’s getting cheaper fast. Obama-era clean energy subsidies & tech breakthroughs in the U.S. & China are changing things *faster* than even optimists predicted.
Do you believe it's time for China to stop aiding & abetting North Korea now that @POTUS has ended the Obama era of appeasement?
