Biden, the president-elect of the United States, was interviewed by CNN and the New York Times and said that he felt it was good for the country to prevent Trump from being president for four years.
During the interview, he revealed what kind of internal and external policies will be adopted after taking office.
On the China issue, he stated that he will not revoke the current policy of heavy tariffs imposed by the United States on Chinese exports during the trade war, and will also connect with allies and think of ways to control and balance China.
He also revealed that he will ask everyone in the United States to wear masks for the first 100 days of his tenure, and will force them to wear masks in U.S. government buildings, in hopes of suppressing the current serious epidemic, and it will continue to allow US epidemic control expert Anthony Fauci to continue. He served as chief medical consultant and led the government team to combat the epidemic.
Will not eliminate tariffs against China
Shortly after Trump came to power, he believed that the trade deficit with China was serious and the accusation of Chinese companies of infringing intellectual property rights was serious. A trade war broke out with China, and the two sides imposed additional tariffs on each other.
Biden told the New York Times that he would not take immediate action to abolish the Trump administration’s 25% tariffs on nearly half of China’s exports to the United States, nor would he revoke the phase one trade agreement signed between China and the United States. . The relevant deal requires Beijing to buy an additional $ 200 billion worth of American products and services this year and next, but China’s implementation progress has lagged far behind.
He said he hopes to implement “a trade policy that can really move forward to curb China’s evil behavior, that is, steal pillars of knowledge, ditch illegal corporate products and subsidies” and force US companies to transfer technology to their Chinese counterparts.

Biden said he will comprehensively review the existing agreement with China and consult with Asian and European Union friends to formulate a coherent strategy. “I think the best Chinese strategy is to make each of our allies, at least our former allies, all united. For me, in the first weeks of the presidency, getting us back in line with our allies will be the top priority. “.
This will be a different Chinese policy than Trump’s. Under the premise that Trump advocates “America first”, traditional American allies may not be able to get enough protection and support from the United States, leading to some allies and the United States in China’s politics. There are differences.
During the visit, Biden stressed that the most important thing when dealing with China is “checks and balances”, but this is something the United States has not yet achieved. According to the report, to gain advantage in checks and balances, the two sides need to reach a consensus on some old and prestigious industrial policies in the country, such as the government’s main large-scale investment in research and development, infrastructure and education of USA To better compete with China.
US-China relations: a dangerous showdown between superpowers
Americans wear masks for 100 days.
Today, the United States has recorded more than 14 million confirmed cases of new crowns and more than 276,000 deaths.
In an interview with CNN, Biden stated that when he took office, Americans would wear masks for 100 days, which he believed was expected to “significantly reduce” the number of confirmed cases.
“I only ask the public to wear masks for 100 days, only 100 days, not forever,” he said. “If we do, we will see that (the number of confirmed diagnoses) will decrease significantly. If we wear masks and have vaccines at the same time, the number of confirmed diagnoses is expected to further reduce.”
However, local constitutional experts pointed out that the president has no power to order the American people to wear masks. Biden said that he would use masks as an example for Vice President Harris, and that the executive branch includes the buildings of the United States government and that he intends to exercise relevant powers.
Today, American airlines, airports, and most public transportation systems have required that passengers and employees cover their faces. The Trump administration opposes calls for US health experts to wear masks in transit. However, Biden said: “Transportation, interstate transportation, etc., Planes and buses, etc. You must wear a mask.”
Another concern is the whereabouts of American disease control expert Anthony Fauci, who said he will continue to appoint him as the chief medical adviser to the government’s new crown team.
During the interview, Biden agreed with Fauci’s position that the fight against the epidemic “does not require a complete economic shutdown as many people have said.” However, the governor of California previously announced a home for all order, and the mayor of San Francisco also ordered a ban on public transportation, including walking or traveling by car.
One of the reasons for hiring this most trusted health expert in the United States is the need to lobby the public about the safety of the new vaccine.
Biden emphasized that he would be very happy to personally inoculate the epidemic to alleviate public doubts about the epidemic. The three former presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton also expressed their willingness to get vaccinated publicly to show their safety.
“People have lost confidence in the effects of vaccines,” he said. “What the president and vice president do will be critical.”
According to a survey by the Pew Research Center, only 60% of Americans are ready to get vaccinated, slightly more than 51% in September.

When Biden seizes power, that will be when the major American pharmaceutical companies begin shipping millions of doses of vaccines to all parts of the United States.
The United Kingdom has previously become the first country in the world to approve the vaccine developed by Pfizer. Pfizer said its vaccine clinical trial is 95% effective. Another pharmaceutical company, Modena, also said that the vaccine is 94% effective. The authorities applied, hoping to give the vaccine to the public as soon as possible.
The epidemic has hit the United States economy severely. Biden said the first task is to get Congress to pass a large-scale economic stimulus package. You are concerned that people are unemployed for too long and it will be difficult to return to work. Students have also fallen behind because they have missed some time at school, which has caused many people to lose opportunities, some people also worry about not knowing how to pay rent and construction loans, which can cause serious long-term damage to the economy.
Trump’s policies are clearly in business. Biden said, “For God’s sake, everyone has to pay their relatively fair share. What I said is that there is no reason not to raise the highest tax rate to 39.6%. This is on Bush. There is no reason. so the 91 Fortune 500 companies do not have to pay a penny at the government level at the beginning of the ruling. “
But if Republicans still control the Senate, can Biden pass the plan? He said he hopes to convince Republican Senate leader McConnell to support taxes on the rich.
