Joe Biden's 'Trumpism'

正U.S. President Joe Biden emerged from the election as a redeemer, promising to put Donald Trump's mistakes behind him and lead the country back on track. But after more than four months in office, Biden has not really lived up to his promise, with the domestic and foreign policies of the United States essentially following the path set by his predecessor: "Trumpism," just without Trump. This is particularly evident in China-U.S. relations.     

Anti-Asian Hate Did Not Begin With Trump

Some people believe that former President Donald Trump introduced anti-Asian hate to the U.S.To be sure,Trump did instigate and exacerbate racial hatred and violenee,especially with his racist rhetoric against China after his ineptitude at containing the COVID-19 pandemic was exposed.From March to December 2020,Stop AAPI(Asian American Pacific Islander)Hate,a national coalition monitoring anti-Asian discrimination during the pandemic.     

COMING UP TRUMPS?

Hot on the heels of the presidential election result, Beijing Review reporter Liu Yunyun sat down with Zhou Mingwei, President of China International Publishing Group. Zhou, a seasoned expert on China-U.S. relations who is also a member of the Committee of Foreign Affairs of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference National Committee, shared his views on how the new president-elect, Donald Trump, could transform his surprise victory into a meaningful presidency.     

An Imperial Presidency?

Girging him with“incitement of insurction”and describing him as a“clear id present danger”to the nation,the U.S.House of Representatives impeached President Donald Trump for a historic second time.Ten Republican members broke ranks and joined Democrats.Coming in the waning days of Trump's administration,the date of a Senate trial is still uncertain,but there are indications that it might proceed months later after the business of helping a new administration take root has been completed,and long alter he has left office.     

Biden,China and Trade

Relations between China and the U.S. are at a low point and the Donald Trump-instigated trade war continues under President Joe Biden. Can substantial progress be made in tariff reduction? In the realm of diplomacy, much is possible; but is Washington being sincere? In 2018, Trump launched his counterproductive trade war against China, Russia, and several other countries. Overall, the Trump tariffs impacted some $410 billion in imports and exports and raised costs for the U.S. consumer by around $51 billion per year. They have since been forced to bear the brunt of the inflationary consequences and have seen their options reduced due to affected trade levels and decreases in both imports and exports.     

Sharp as a Steel Trap

On February 7,the U.S.and Japan inked an agreement,allowing Japanese steel products to enter the American market without the application of the Section 232 tariffs introduced by former President Donald Trump.The presidential orders imposed a 25-percent tariff on imported steel and 10 percent on imported aluminum,coming into effect on March 23,2018.Under the latest agreement,the U.S.will remove the steel tariff on Japanese exports of up to 1.25 million tons.     

Washington's ‘Great Zero-Sum Game’

正It's easy to become distracted by the many moves made by the U.S. against China. To be sure, there's always a difference between rhetoric and reality, between ambition and actuality, and this has become ever clearer during the Donald Trump and now Joe Biden administrations.     

THIRD TIME'S A CHARM?

正When we look at the situation right now,in terms of COVID-19 origin investigations,we have a state of affairs that is tainted black by the geopolitical narrative.That narrative first took hold with the Donald Trump administration and today still exudes very strongly from the Joe Biden administration.     

Trojan Horse Strategy

The U.S. interest in Hong Kong is not for residents' welfare but to prop up its own waning influence The new $900-billion relief package signed by U.S. President Donald Trump on December 27, 2020, designed to supplement the U.S. economy over the impact of the novel coronavirus disease(COVID-19), is hardly straightforward in its purpose. It is being utilized as a vehicle for other things, which in fact have little to do with the virus or the U.S economy.     

Atoning for Climate Sins

Much to the surprise of climate observers worldwide, China and the United States issued a state-ment announcing to strengthen cooperation to tackle climate change at the 26th UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, the UK, on November 11. It's an especially bold statement on the part of the U.S., considering that ever since the Donald Trump administration, the of-ficial American position had bordered on the mockery of almost any carbon emission reduction talk.     

America's Anti-China Human Rights Hype

正As U.S. President Joe Biden and his Secretary of State Anthony Blinken attempt to rebrand post-Donald Trump America through new policies and narratives at home and abroad, the topic of "human rights" has become, once again, a focal point of Washington’s propaganda. China should welcome this discussion and join it robustly.     

Uncertainty,the Only Certainty for Afghanistan

正Afghanistan is the battlefield where the U.S.army fought the longest overseas.Since U.S.President Joe Biden took office in January,the war's future course has come in the spotlight.According to an agreement signed between the Donald Trump administration and the Taliban in late February 2020,the U.S.     

Forging Global Stability

The creation of a multilateral world has changed the international scene. While the United States preserves its military superiority, the continuous development of China and Russia's resilience influences the balance of power. Under the administration of President Joe Biden, Washington seeks to set the tone by demonstrating to its partners that "it is back" on the world stage after four years of former President Donald Trump's policies. During his first trip to Europe since his inauguration in January, Biden took part in Group of Seven (G7), NATO and U.S.-EU summits. But the meeting that captured international attention was the one with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin in Geneva, Switzerland, on June 16.

America Can Lead Again,But in a Different Way

On his first day in office,Antony Blinken,newly appointed U.S.secretary of state,could not wait to claim the return of U.S.leadership on the international stage."America's leadership is needed around the world,and we will provide it,"he said.Over the past four years,Democrats have repeatedly emphasized the word"leadership"as a counterattack against the policy of the Donald Trump administration.President Joe Biden has also said the United States is back and prepared to lead the world.

论20世纪散文诗对中国新诗诗体建设的负面影响

散文诗是20世纪中国文学中的一种特殊的抒情文体,它的文体特性长期被新诗人误解。散文诗几乎成为新诗初期的流行诗体,受到中国新诗人的极端重视。散文诗给了新诗人过多的文体自由,不仅造成新诗人对"散文美"的过度追求,还助长了新诗诗体建设史中长期存在的文体自由与文体法则的极端对抗,是百年新诗无法建立起相对定型的诗体的重要原因之一。用"散文诗"这个术语作为这种抒情文体的体裁名称是不准确的。     

A Misguided Focus On China

正On the surface, Joe Biden emerged as successful in securing consensus in both the Group of Seven(G7)and NATO on labeling China as a "systemic challenge" during his first tour of Europe.However, hiding beneath such "achievements," the U.S. alienated itself from the majority of countries still fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.     

Vaseline on the Lens

正When my Chinese fiance and I decided to get married, there was no question about it: We would get our wedding portraits taken at one of the Chinese wedding studios that came with quaint names like "Paris," "Rome," "Golden Ladies," or "Mona Lisa. " "Are you going for the typical Chinese look? Vaseline on the lens, the works?" a British friend asked, in, shall we say, "amused" fashion.It was a Chinese tradition I would come to love; in the West, wedding photos are usually taken only during the ceremony and reception.
