W T F?

Did he do this to excite Trump's base for Georgia runoff election?

Unless he can magic up enough foreign troops (pick one: Brazil, Taipei, the Grand Duchy of Fenwick, Wadiya) ready to somehow both storm Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Arizona and Wisconsin and fight off the American people and miitary, it's not going to happen.

In case any of you guys think Biden is going to be good and soft for China should watch this video.

As most of us old heads always said. The US parties may fight like cats and dogs within America. But there all agreed 100% with regards to China.

So why did Biden admit he will remove 10-25% tariffs on $550 billion of Chinese-made goods, if he is so angry at concentration camps and ADIZ over SCS?

Oh yea, because "Rhetoric aimed at domestic consumption" is different from real policy. Oh, shocking.

Of course Biden will continue "Sounding" tough on China, but I highly doubt he will be effective because he doesn't want to Kill China like Pompeo or Navarro wants to. If he pursues another "Pivot to Asia" or TPP-style containment, China is more than ready for the challenge.

This is telling

I don't want to fall out with you. So let's agree to disagree.

Dude chill - Biden isn't Jesus descending down from heaven to wipe the stain away from America.

Trump sees China as an adversary while Biden sees China as a competitor. Competitions tend to be rules-based, but that doesn't mean the tension goes away. There's good reason why Xi still hasn't reached out to congratulate Biden on his victory. The sentiment that China cheats, steals, and copies Western ingenuity and intellectual property to benefit Chinese state enterprises still rings loud and true in America, regardless who sits in the White House. That sentiment won't disappear just because Biden takes office.

In any case Biden has deeper more pressing problems to deal with at home (especially on the COVID, economic, and infrastructure end of things) before turning his attention to China.

Trump is now directly in control of US Armed forces, his SecState supports the coup....

He will order troops to march on DC and arrest Biden and the democrats

From a legal standpoint Biden isnt president yet, not even President elect since states like PA etc have not technicially certified the votes yet. Trump can also get some faithless electors to give electoral votes to him and take the win...

This is going to the Supreme Court and if all else fails he will pull a Caesar and march troops into the Rome to capture his political enemies to stay in power

This could be the end of the facade of American democracy , if that happens the darker demons that Biden mentioned in his victory speech would have prevailed

The winner will be officially declared in Mid-Dec. Biden will be appointed on 20 Jan 2021.

For my entire life, I have heard Dems/Repubs bash China on environment, stealing jobs, stealing tech, Tibet, Xinjiang, Taiwan, etc....

This type of rhetoric is normal stuff in Dem/Repub, especially around election time.

Biden's "Bark" is worse than his "Bite", meaning his anti-China rhetoric is more for domestic consumption purposes.

Is Biden going to continue TPP-style passive containment of China? Of course, and that's bad for China. Hopefully RCEP, BRICS, OBOR, AIIB, and SCO can be strong enough to counter it.

My point is, don't take his anti-China rhetoric at face-value, it sounds worse than in reality. He has so much internal domestic shit to figure out, he isn't going to have time to effectively deal with China. He is probably looking for a quick way to declare victory over China in trade deal and move on.
