Full article and Original source - Biden’s choice for US trade representative signals
anti-China stance
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2020/12/14/bide-d14.html
Excerpt :
China imposed a ban on the export of rare earths to Japan in 2010 amid
sharp tensions over the disputed Senkaku/Diaoyu islets in the East China Sea,
which are controlled by Tokyo but claimed by both countries. The conflict was
exacerbated by the Obama administration’s belligerent stance towards Beijing,
which was made explicit in its “pivot to Asia” announced in November 2011.
China’s export restrictions on rare earths were later extended to the US and
Europe, then dropped in 2015 after an adverse WTO ruling.
A Hong Kong-based trade lawyer Benjamin Kostrzewa, who worked on the WTO
rare earths case with Tai, described her as “having an
iron-fist-in-a-velvet-glove approach.”
Biden said Tai would work closely with his economic, national security
and foreign policy officials. “She understands that we need … to be
considerably more strategic than we’ve been in how we trade, and that makes us
all stronger, how we’re made stronger by trade,” he declared.
