Chinese state media said President Joe Biden’s early policy toward Beijing “smacks of Trumpism,” signaling new concern over the prospects for a reset in ties with the U.S.
The official China Daily said in an editorial Thursday that the Biden administration’s approach so far “affords little optimism.” Many of the new U.S. leader’s policies seem similar to those of former President Donald Trump, according to the English-language newspaper, whose opinion pages are often used to send messages to foreign audiences.
