Steve ORLINS said that in January next year, Biden will officially become president of the United States, and American democracy is playing a role. “This makes me very happy with our system and our country.” Steve ORLINS said that when Biden won the general election, the US government’s foreign policy will be “more normal and professional.” The Biden team “has been a multilateral foreign policy from day one.”
Regarding China’s policy, he predicted that the US government will adopt a values-based policy and abandon the “America First” policy, because “America First” represents America only.

The following is the speech log:
Moderator: Next, I invite Steve ORLINS, Chairman of the National Committee on US-China Relations, who has held this position for nearly 15 years and was also an official with the US Department of State. Steve ORLINS posted the news of Biden’s victory on my WeChat early in the morning of November 8. At the same time, he also mentioned that he should not underestimate the possibility of improving relations between China and the United States. In his view, he still has full confidence in the administration of President Biden. Let us know, thank you!
Steve ORLINS: It is a great honor to speak behind Professor Fu Gaoyi. Many people say that I am an expert on China. I am an expert on China. But 50 years ago, I got the support of Professor Fu Gaoyi. He was my professor at Harvard University. He asked me To study in China, Professor Fu Gaoyi’s understanding of these generations of Americans about China and Japan is, indeed, powerful. This powerful influence will continue in later generations of Americans, for which we are very grateful to Professor Fu Gaoyi. It is a great honor to be his student and to be able to speak after him. I can’t get to the scene, but I miss you so much. It can be said that this is the longest period I have not visited China. From 1979 until now, it is the first time I have not visited China in more than a year. “My friends, I remember talking to you late into the night, and I also remember seeing you in Sanya before. Coming to Sanya every December is part of my life. In fact, it is a great loss not to be able to go this year.
Let me talk about my thoughts on the Biden administration. I don’t usually hear much of China’s thoughts on the general election, but in the last 21 days, I’ve been very, very happy with the results of the American general election. On December 14, according to the United States Constitution, our state candidates will officially vote. In January of next year, he will officially become President of the United States. American democracy has played a role, it has been questioned, but it has played a role now, which makes me very happy with our system and our country. We also know that Kerry and the others have been appointed officers of Biden. They are very professional people. They will not have the same foreign policy as the past. His policy is more normal and professional. From day one, they is a multilateral foreign policy. We will rejoin the WHO, we will return to the Iranian nuclear deal, the United States will cooperate with allies to formulate global cooperation, including policies towards China, and the United States government will abandon the priority policy of the United States, because the United States has priority to represent America alone and will. A politics based on values. We will lead the world by example and human rights will be at the center of our concern. The national and international policies of the United States will eliminate racism and I think there will be some relaxation on the issue of visas for Chinese personnel.
Biden will definitely not call the new corona virus the Chinese virus or the Wuhan virus, because for Biden, it is racist. The Republican Party has set its sights on 2024. It will attack the Democratic Party as weak in China. There are many things that we do not know. We don’t know if Biden will revoke all of Trump’s executive orders or if we will establish some new mechanisms for intergovernmental dialogue. We do not know. Because there is only one president in the United States at any one time, the remaining 56 days may create more problems for us, and it seems that more problems may arise, but we can only take one step at a time.
But this does not mean that everyone here or Chinese officials cannot do anything. We can be prepared to unilaterally change the tone between China and the United States. I personally oppose the US ban on WeChat and TikTok. I said on American television: This is detrimental to the interests of the United States.
In short, reform and opening up is China’s basic national policy. China will continue to reform and open up. This spirit must be practiced. This will benefit not only China and Chinese consumers, but also China-US relations.
