After U.S. President Biden took office, China policy has always been the focus of attention from all walks of life. The views of Julian Gewirtz, regarded as a new generation of White House aides and China Director of the White House National Security Council, have attracted the attention of the outside world. Earlier, he wrote an article in the “Foreign Affairs” magazine, analyzing the current crux of Sino-US relations, and pointed out that China has determined that the United States is in decline, and the US countermeasure is to show that the United States is still strong and that China knows the situation of misjudgment.
Gwitz is a young member of Biden’s China affairs team and is fluent in Chinese. His earlier article was entitled “China Thinks America Is Losing Washington Must Show Beijing It’s Wrong”.
Gerviz: America still shows itself is still strong
Gerwiz believes that because China expects the United States to decline, China has the courage to take a more aggressive attitude on issues such as Hong Kong, Xinjiang, Australia, India, and Taiwan.
But he emphasized that despite this, American Chinese policy makers also believe that Huashengying will definitely restrain China, and that this situation will not change with the changes of the US government.

Gerwicz emphasized that it is now impossible for the United States to persuade the Chinese leadership through “diplomatic comfort (Reassuring)” to abandon these practices. What the United States has to do is to prove to China that “the United States is still strong” and can effectively restore strength and leadership. .
How should U.S. strategy toward China grapple with these changes? Given the dismal track record of the past several years, some may be tempted to try to undo these shifts by reassuring Beijing that the United States does not in fact intend to keep China down. This path is highly unlikely to succeed.
To effectively compete with China, Gerviz pointed out that the focus is on the United States to reinvigorate the domestic economic foundation, technological superiority and democratic system. These actions will profoundly shake China’s strategic foundation.
But Gwitz also believes that while the United States and China are competing, they also have important common interests and room for cooperation. The United States will show Beijing that the United States is not afraid of and will not contain a “playing an important role in the world and abiding by the rules.” Prosperous China”; over time, these measures will eventually create space for Chinese leaders to realize that there is a need to resolve urgent common problems between China and the United States.
He emphasized that China and the United States must avoid the “worst result” of competition and implement effective crisis management and conflict cooling mechanisms.
Gerviz: Comfort China policy no longer applies
Before taking office, Julian Gewirtz was a senior researcher in China Studies at the American Association for Foreign Relations. As a new member of the “China Team” of the Biden administration, this young man who only walked out of school in 2018 will become one of the traders of the US policy on China.

Gewitz, who received a bachelor’s degree from Harvard University in 2013, entered Oxford University to study for a doctorate in modern Chinese history. During this period, he briefly took a leave of absence and entered the Obama administration as the Deputy Secretary of Energy’s Special Advisor on International Affairs. After that, he returned to campus to complete his doctorate, and became a researcher in history and public policy at the Kennedy School of Harvard University and a scholar at the Harvard University Witherhead Center for International Affairs.
In August 2020, Gervez joined the Association for Foreign Relations as a senior researcher in China Studies. During the same period, he worked as a researcher and lecturer on the “China and the World” project at Columbia University.
In 2018, he received a PhD in Modern Chinese History from Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. In his graduation thesis, he analyzed China’s political and economic reforms in the 1980s, especially the role played by Zhao Ziyang, then General Secretary of the Communist Party of China.
On Gewitz’s LinkedIn page, he listed “Chinese” as one of his languages.
