By relying on a foreign policy rooted in pragmaticism and innovation, Biden can strengthen alliances and cooperate with a Europe that is increasingly more divided.

President Biden begins to lay out his administration's stance on China, calling China the "most serious competitor" in his first foreign policy speech as president.

It is trying to work with the United States in a mutually beneficial way, but it is preparing for the worst-case scenario.

Biden’s cabinet picks on China are ripe with seasoned Beltway politicians, signaling a return to fair play and a restoration of protocol for American China policy. But there remain many points of dispute between Beijing and Washington, and there is no time to waste.
