The 46th President of the United States Biden was sworn in on Wednesday (20th). The Trump administration and former Secretary of State Pompeo played the “Taiwan card” in the last days of their reign, trying to lay the ground for Sino-US and cross-strait relations. However, Biden’s senior staff stated that the Biden administration understands that there is only one China. The capital of China is Beijing. Taiwan is not an independent country, and the United States will not recognize Taiwan’s independence.
Biden’s core staff and Harvard University political scientist Graham Allison pointed out in an interview with Taiwanese media recently:
“President Biden understands that there is only one China. It is not unambiguous. The capital of China is Beijing. There is no independent country called Taiwan, and the United States will not recognize Taiwan’s independence.”

Regarding the mainland’s proposal to reunify China with one country, two systems, Allison believes that one country, two systems has come to an end and cannot resolve the “unhappy and dissatisfied” between the mainland and Taiwan. However, one country, two systems is better than the “other option” between the two sides of the strait and China. Allison’s “other option” is war.
Allison said that although Taiwan and Beijing have completely different prospects for the future of the two sides of the strait, the two sides have been able to coexist peacefully over the past 50 years. Therefore, Biden’s challenge lies in how to come up with a new cross-strait plan to improve trilateral relations. It’s just one country, two systems.
Trump’s perseverance, Bi stepped on to Taichung, the United States continues to bother
Allison also said that the Biden administration’s attitude towards China will be significantly different from the Trump administration. He summed up five Rs, including 1. Return to normal; 2. Reversal; 3. Review; 4. Realism; 5. Responsible .
Allison has been warning in recent years that a war may break out between China and the United States. His representative work “Destined to War? The book Destined For War: Can America and China escape Thucydides’s Trap argues that history shows that emerging powers will inevitably challenge the existing powers, and the existing powers will inevitably respond and war is inevitable. Therefore, China and the United States Urgent efforts are needed to prevent the outbreak of war.
