U.S. President Biden warned that China is gaining an advantage over the U.S. in infrastructure such as transportation. If the U.S. does not make efforts to catch up, “U.S. lunch will be eaten by China.” Biden’s latest tone is completely the opposite of two years ago, when he declared that China could not compete with the United States and was criticized by then-President Trump for being “naive.”
The Biden administration is pushing for a rescue economic stimulus plan, which includes projects to increase investment in infrastructure. When Biden went to the U.S. Congress last week to promote the plan, he compared infrastructure such as China’s high-speed rail and called on lawmakers to work harder for the United States:
“If we do not act, they (China) will eat our lunch. They have major new railway projects. They are investing billions of dollars in transportation, the environment, and a host of other things. We must fight Breathe.”
（If we don’t get moving, they are going to eat our lunch. They have major, major new initiatives on rail. They’re investing billions of dollars dealing with a whole range of issues that relate to transportation, the environment and a whole range of other things. We just have to step up.）
Biden also mentioned that China is also making great strides in electric vehicles. He proposed a plan last month to replace approximately 645,000 federal government vehicles with electric vehicles produced in the United States to promote the development of the US electric vehicle industry.

Biden’s latest discussion of Sino-US competition can be described as defeating himself when he first ran for president. Biden used a rhetorical question in Iowa in 2019 when he talked about “China eating American lunch” and believed that Republicans exaggerated the “China threat”:
“China will eat our lunch? Come on, brother. They don’t even know how to deal with the coastal areas and the eastern mountains. I mean the huge divide between the western mountains. I tell you, they are not bad guys. But guess what? They Not our opponent.”
（China is going to eat our lunch? C’mon man. They can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the east, I mean the west. They’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.）
In the television debate on the US presidential election last year, Trump also pointed out to Biden: “China ate your lunch, Joe.” (China ate your lunch, Joe.)

Regarding Biden’s current 180-degree turn, White House spokesman Jen Psaki emphasized that Biden is aware of the threat to Chinese competition. She said that she believes that Biden regards China as a competitor and clearly recognizes the depth of this challenge.
In fact, China’s railway construction mentioned by Biden has long since disappeared from all countries in the world. China’s railway steadily ranks first in many indicators such as operating mileage, passenger turnover, freight volume, cargo turnover, and conversion turnover. As of July 2020, the operating mileage of China Railway reached 141,400 kilometers, of which 36,000 kilometers were high-speed rail. On the other hand, the United States has only more than 700 kilometers of high-speed rail, which is less than 3,000 kilometers in Japan, more than 2,700 kilometers in France, and about 1,600 kilometers in Germany.
