Russia and China Are Sending Biden a Message: Don't Judge Us or Try to Change us. Those Days Are Over March 27, 2021 <https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/author/yves-smith> Yves Smith Yves here. It's noteworthy that a mainstream venue like The Conversation would run a piece that describes how the Biden approach to China and Russia is backfiring. While the press spoke in almost one voice against Trump's policies towards China and Russia, even when it was aghast at Trump's belligerence, I believe most countries on the receiving end discounted it as bluster and would wait to see what if any actions would follow. By contrast, the campaign pitch for Biden was that his leadership would put the adults back in charge. Yet it's been hard to ignore the stunning and pointless Biden slap at Putin, shortly followed by the train wreck of the China summit in Alaska. The incoming team is managing the difficult task of making Trump look not terrible. Those who have met Trump say he's usually affable, even charming in a meeting, even though he's likely to screw you in the 24 hours after that. So the big difference is the US press (for the most part) not calling out these Biden bombs. Funny that. By Tony Kevin, Emeritus Fellow, Australian National University.
