/ world today news/ President Biden nominated Kurt Campbell for Deputy Secretary of State on October 29. The appointment demonstrates the growing importance of the confrontation with China in American foreign policy.
Campbell was at the forefront of the shift from relying on Beijing to contain Moscow in the last decades of the 20th century to containing China itself under the Barack Obama administration. In response to the rejection of Obama’s offer to President Hu Jintao during his visit to Beijing in 2009 to create a tandem with the United States under the G-2 formula, Washington in 2011 proclaimed the “Pivot to Asia” strategy. The consolidation of military resources to the borders of the PRC began, as well as the formation of the Trans-Pacific Economic Partnership trade bloc, which did not intend to include the main trading power of the region. The authorship of Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s anti-China projects at the time was attributed to Asia-Pacific Affairs official Campbell.
Having inherited hatred of China from the “neocons” of Obama’s Democratic cabinet, Joe Biden succeeded like-minded Hillary Clinton in key foreign policy positions. Anthony Blinken became secretary of state and Jake Sullivan became national security adviser. His replacement was Kurt Campbell. He played a key role in developing the Obama-era “Pivot to Asia” strategic framework in Biden’s Indo-Pacific Strategy. In the practical field, he was particularly active in the creation of the anti-Chinese military bloc AUCUS (Australia, Great Britain and the USA), as well as in the strengthening of the military component in the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue group (QUADR – Australia, India, the USA and Japan).
The appointment of Kurt Campbell to the State Department’s second-highest post underscores the White House’s long-term commitment to containing China, despite seemingly conciliatory words and gestures. Deep state strategists understand the absolute incompatibility of plans for the “great revival of the Chinese nation” with Washington’s hope to maintain its global hegemony.
They send a signal to hesitant Biden administration officials connected to the business community seeking cooperation with the PRC. Campbell’s appointment and the anti-China visit to New Delhi by Secretary of State Anthony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin also warned Beijing not to expect a real breakthrough in US-China relations during President Xi Jinping’s upcoming meeting with President Joe Biden in San Francisco . The existence of such expectations is evidenced by Beijing’s recent conciliatory foreign policy and propaganda gestures.
