China report accuses US of causing humanitarian disasters
Apr. 9 - ...Despite hopes for a change in tone, relations between Washington and Beijing have remained as fractious under Biden as they were under his predecessor, who riled China with a trade war, support for Taiwan and sanctions over Chinese polices including in Hong Kong and Xinjiang. China´s assertiveness in the South China Sea and U.S. calls for more candor from Beijing about the origins of the coronavirus pandemic have further roiled ties.
While the new administration has taken no major actions in those areas, it has neither shown any sign of reversing the hardline taken under former president Donald Trump. Congress, meanwhile, is preparing to take up new legislation that would underscore the competition with Beijing in foreign affairs, trade and other fields.
Asked Thursday about that pending legislation, State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the administration has been "heartened that there is a good deal of bipartisan agreement when it comes to how we should and could approach the government in Beijing." quoted from

U.S. sanctions Chinese computer makers in widening tech fight
BEIJING--The Biden administration has added seven Chinese supercomputer research labs and manufacturers to a U.S. export blacklist in a spreading conflict with Beijing over technology and security.
The measure announced Thursday is the latest sign President Joe Biden is sticking to the tough line taken by his predecessor, Donald Trump, toward Chinese tech industries seen by Washington as potential threats.
The decision adds to mounting conflict over the ruling Communist Party’s industrial plans, access to American technology and accusations of computer attacks and theft of business secrets.
The latest penalties block access to U.S. technology for researchers and manufacturers the Commerce Department said build supercomputers used by the Chinese military in weapons development.
Biden has said he wants better relations with Beijing but has given no indication he will roll back sanctions imposed by Trump on Chinese telecom equipment giant Huawei and other companies. continue to read

Biden and the Jobs Revolution
Apr. 9 - The fledgling Biden revolution is trying to prove America is capable of reversing decades of self-neglect by creating the biggest peacetime jobs program since Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s New Deal.
Led by a determined, ambitious, surprisingly energetic President Joe Biden backed up by a team of progressive Democrats, the United States finally is turning nation-building toward home after years of throwing American lives and treasure at fruitless, seemingly endless wars.
Biden now proposes to spend $2.2 trillion on rebuilding 20,000 miles of the nation’s roads, repairing bridges, expanding high-speed broadband to rural areas, fixing other infrastructure like pipes and creating millions of jobs to get it all done. The idea is to finish it in eight years and pay for it over 15 years by raising corporate taxes from 21 percent to 28 percent.
“It’s not a plan that tinkers around the edges,” Biden said in introducing an effort that surpasses in its extent President Lyndon B. Johnson’s Great Society program of the 1960s. “It’s a once-in-a-generation investment in America.”
Nevertheless, he said Wednesday, trying to appease Republicans, he’s willing to bend on taxes. “Compromise is inevitable. Changes are certain.” But: “We will not be open to doing nothing. Inaction is simply not an option.”
The Treasury Department proposed in a report Wednesday to bring in about $2.5 trillion over 15 years by raising taxes on corporations, including on earnings made abroad, The Washington Post said. Congress would have to approve the change. Republicans and some Democrats already have objected, it said.
Congress so far has enacted legislation costing $7.2 trillion to combat the pandemic and its major impact on the economy, according to a March 15 report by the nonpartisan Peter G. Peterson Foundation that focuses on economics. It includes Biden’s $1.9 trillion virus relief package adopted March 11.
To put the enacted and proposed domestic spending in perspective, the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Pakistan cost the United States $6.4 trillion between 2001 and 2019, according to a 2019 report by the Watson Institute of International and Public Affairs at Brown University. more

The Great U.S.-China Tech War
The United States and China are locked in a “cold tech war,” and the winner will end up dominating the twenty-first century.
Beijing was not considered a tech contender a decade ago. Now, some call it a leader. America is already behind in critical areas.
It is no surprise how Chinese leaders made their regime a tech powerhouse. They first developed and then implemented multiyear plans and projects, adopting a determined, methodical, and disciplined approach. As a result, China’s political leaders and their army of technocrats could soon possess the technologies of tomorrow.
America can still catch up. Unfortunately, Americans, focused on other matters, are not meeting the challenges China presents. A whole-of-society mobilization will be necessary for the U.S. to regain what it once had: control of cutting-edge technologies. This is how America got to the moon, and this is the key to winning this century.
Americans may not like the fact that they’re once again in a Cold War–type struggle, but they will either adjust to that reality or get left behind source from
