OMG. Biden says all This without a hint of irony. These western politicians are damn good actors. Let's see: extract from FB comment:
Spot the difference:
Look who's talking.
Economic abuses and coercion? Remember what US did to France's #Alstom and Japan's #Toshiba when they became a real threat and competition to America's dominance?
America does not have allies - only hostages to be used, abused and discarded when it suits her interest.
Australia is US's latest sucker. Morrison blindly supported Trump's trade war with China and parroted his anti-China sinophobic narratives - only for US to replace Australia to sell more commodities to China. Ain't too bright.
From CNBC:
Biden says U.S. and Europe must push back against China’s economic ‘abuses and coercion’

President Joe Biden said Friday that the U.S. and its international partners must hold China to account for its economic practices.
“We have to push back against the Chinese government’s abuses and coercion that undercut the foundations of the international economic system,” Biden said in a speech to the Munich Security Conference, delivered virtually from the White House.
“Everyone must play by the same rules,” he said at the annual international policy gathering.
Biden’s appearance, his debut before an international audience since becoming president, came as his administration seeks to maintain a tough stance on China while moving away from former President Donald Trump’s pugilistic relationship with Beijing.
The Trump administration sought to reshape the U.S.-China trade relationship, placing a key focus on boosting Beijing’s purchase of U.S. goods while addressing issues including intellectual property protections and forced technology transfers.
After striking the first “phase” of a deal, Trump in 2020 canceled an additional round of trade talks with China, on which he has placed full blame for the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.
Trump’s “America First” political ethos also alienated some European leaders who had long been allied with the United States. Biden has made clear he intends to warm relations with America’s international partners.
