Donald Trump made a big show of taking on China, but he achieved little. Joe Biden is the real deal.
A persistent theme in Republican campaigning these past few years has been the effort to portray Democrats in general, and President Joe Biden in particular, as being soft on China — in contrast to Donald Trump’s supposed toughness.
