The US President-elect Joe Biden will soon take office. Several cabinet candidates attended the Congressional nomination hearing on January 19.

Among them, Secretary of State-designate Blinken (Anthony Blinken) said that after taking office, he will work hard to restore American democracy and threaten allies to contain China, Russia and Iran.

Brinken told the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee that China is undoubtedly the greatest threat to the United States than other countries, and that under Xi Jinping, Beijing has more confidently demonstrated China’s intention to lead the world.

Brinken said he agreed with the current President Donald Trump's tough stance on China, but he bluntly disagrees with the other side's handling.

He believes that the current Congress has a very strong foundation to establish a cross-party policy towards China.

Regarding the Taiwan Strait issue, Brinken believes that the new Biden administration will ensure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself, and there are opinions that Taiwan will play a more important role in international organizations that do not have membership in the WTO.

He also mentioned Hong Kong, saying that the United States intends to accept people who fled Hong Kong.

Brinken’s earlier written confession to Congress stated that the United States’ global leadership is still very important, otherwise competitors will take advantage of it, or there will be chaos, saying that neither of these results are acceptable to the American people. .

He also believes that while nationalism continues to rise, democracy is regressing, and the wrestling between Washington and China, Russia and other totalitarian countries has increased, threatening a stable and open international system, and the technological revolution has changed human life, especially The situation in the online world is even worse.

Brinken also promised that the new administration would abandon the style of the Donald Trump era and instead regard Congress as an important partner in advancing foreign policy.

In addition, the National Intelligence Director-designate, Avril Haines, stated at another nomination hearing that actions to respond to China’s counterintelligence threats and foreign intervention will be a priority for the new administration, and that he will be brave enough to speak to the senior White House. The truth is to restore the trust of citizens and other allies.
