Washington (ParsToday) – The outgoing US Vice President has urged the President-elect to uphold the current administration’s policy towards China.
According to the news portal “Trader”, US Vice President Mike Pence urged President-elect Joe Biden in a note reiterating his allegations against Beijing to uphold the current government’s policy on China and to counter “China’s commercial aggression and abuse.” .
Pence also advised the Biden government to promote free trade in India and the Pacific.
Another section of the note went on to say: “After generations of the United States and our allies defending freedom of navigation and the interests of freedom-loving nations in Asia and the Pacific, the Chinese are now determined to leverage Beijing’s influence throughout the region through military force To expand provocations and diplomacy. “
The Trump administration is spending the final days of its tenure imposing more sanctions on China.
Among other things, the smartphone provider Xiaomi was blacklisted by the US Department of Defense because of alleged links to the Chinese military.
They also imposed sanctions on a Chinese steel mill and a manufacturer of building materials in the United Arab Emirates. The reason is the cooperation with the Iranian state shipping company, which is already subject to US sanctions.
