“Whether Trump's Indo-Pacific Strategy will be renamed or not, its essence will not change. It will continue to focus on China. Washington will cooperate with China on some issues but confront Beijing on human rights and military matters when necessary.”

“The Biden administration may also employ more competitive rhetoric when approaching its climate engagement with China. First, China and the US need to embrace much stronger climate ambitions than they currently do. Second, climate change is still one of the rare areas where the political interests of China and the US perfectly align. With changing geopolitics, a somewhat positive climate dynamic between the two cannot be simply assumed, but should be painstakingly earned.”

“With the extension of the legacy of the Obama administration on foreign affairs, Blinken, along with Biden's team on foreign affairs, will also lead the US back to engagement with Asia-Pacific. This could involve some of the tactics of Obama to 'stir up some troubles' among China's neighboring countries. Compared to Trump's barbaric style of dealing with China, Biden will take a much more 'civilized' manner with a much more clever approach, but it won't change the nature of the longstanding rivalry between the two countries.”

“Given his [Blinken's] previous rhetoric on China-related issues and his past experience, his stance is softer than that of the current administration, which is likely to create a positive environment for the China-US relationship. He won't be as provocative as the Trump administration on some of the issues of concern, like the Taiwan question, but the Democrats may take the island as an example on ideological matters.”

“We need to be aligned with the other democracies — another 25% or more so that we can set the rules of the road instead of having China and others dictate outcomes because they are the only game in town.”

“As part of Biden's reimagined approach towards China, we expect the administration to pursue a more multilateral strategy. There’s strong regional appetite for that right now, particularly amid China’s border dispute with India, the emerging trade war with Australia, and long-standing economic and political tensions with Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.”

“[Biden] will have many of the same advisors that worked with Obama, but they have a different look [regarding] China. They don’t want to repeat Obama’s approach either. They want to be tough.”

“There won’t be a major directional change by the Biden administration [with regards to China], but there will be many technical adjustments in its approach. Whether Biden would remove existing tariffs, that’s a big unknown. I don’t think we have any evidence to tell at this point though what we sort of know is that Biden has very little interest in increasing or escalating the trade war.”

“Although there might be some changes in Biden’s tactics toward China, there will be no change in the China strategy. It is likely that China will broaden its tactics and step up its propaganda campaign to pressure Taiwan's businesses and different sectors in society to accept its 'one China' political framework and heighten Chinese military actions to pressure us into ‘peace talks’ as part of its 'united front' strategy. China has made an effort to block US involvement in the region, to undermine Taiwan-US cooperation. Some adjustments could come in US-China relations after the election outcome, but Beijing has its fixed agenda for dealing with Taiwan, therefore we must still tread carefully in the coming years. China insists on the option of a military invasion of Taiwan, and [using] provocation and encroachment tactics to undermine cross-strait stability.”

“No matter which political party takes charge of the US government, overall it will keep its policy to contain China, while being friendly with Taiwan. However, Taiwan must rely on itself... We cannot depend on other countries. When a country has a transfer of power, some policies will continue, and some policies will be adjusted. We have no influence over the course and timetable of their government changeover process.”

“No matter which candidate ends up in the White House, the US and China will continue to compete on trade, technology and military capabilities... Taiwan has to carefully and closely observe changes in US-China-Taiwan relations to find the most appropriate approach going forward.”
