Clearest indication yet Biden will adopt a de-escalationary approach, despite the rhetoric. Which is why you guys should not be supporting Trump lmao. And this is not an opinion piece, this is literally a senior Democrat leader saying it.
A: First, stop the restrictions and the theft of American technology. Allow American companies to operate freely in China without having to give up their technology. Treat foreign investors fairly. Second, there is a human rights component, and the two outstanding issues are Hong Kong and the Uyghurs. Moderate that. And third, diminish the military belligerence and the excessive claims in the South China Sea.
All three of these are red lines for China and even suggesting China to commit to one of those is a no go. Also, this guy's opinion is largely irrelevant as he hasn't been in Congress for 8 years.

Anyone else think that a Biden win would be detrimental to CCP because it demonstrates the potential of the democratic process?
Or are Chinese dead set on violent revolutions till the end.
No unless Biden were the 1992 circa Bill Clinton - youthful, energetic and charismatic. An almost octogenarian career politician who doesn't stand for anything other than 'look I'm not crazy' inspires nobody.
Both Barney Frank and Max Baucus delivered similar points even though they are retired. Problem is there's indication that Biden geared towards CNAS (Flournoy's think tank) point of virwew and they are hawkish. I read on Twitter that an undersecretary that is affiliated with CNAS proposed total ban for WeChat.A: First, stop the restrictions and the theft of American technology.

FYI, problem with Trump is that he doesn't really care when his underlings (Pompeo, Pottinger, et al) went scorched earth policy. I hope at least Biden will be more reserved and cool headed.

Although I do think China could potentially set aside some claims in the South China Sea as we will be moving away from oil and gas, China should never do this as part of a U.S.-China deal, which will only provide justification for American power in the region.

The only way I see China relinquish its claims to the SCS is a deal with the US to completely vacate from East Asia any military assets. This won't have any chance of happening for decades.
Social conservatism is creeping up in CCP as well. A lot of stupid talks about traditional family value. China is facing a population crisis, falling back to old-time social repression of women is not the solution.

The first one is happening already (though tying in ongoing domestic reforms to American demands isn't a good political look), the Uyghurs can probably be moderated (at least window dressing)A: First, stop the restrictions and the theft of American technology.
