National Security Adviser Declares Huawei the ‘Number One Concern’

On their way out the door, the Trump Administration has been imposing measures trying to solidify their diplomatic stances such that when Biden takes over he will struggle to reverse course. This has mostly involved anti-Iran measures, but increasingly also moves against the Chinese.

I don’t think Biden needs any help:

Biden likely to remain tough on Chinese tech like Huawei, but with more help from allies

A harder US line? Potential Pentagon chief floated idea to sink China fleet in 72 hours

Hong Kong mogul Jimmy Lai: ‘At least we fought, we showed our dignity’

We are speaking shortly before the US presidential election. Lai wanted Donald Trump to win. He is a particular admirer of Trump’s aggressive stance towards China. “He deals with reality, he’s not a gentleman. He plays hardball and this is effective,” Lai says. “The only way to avoid war with China is to threaten war,” he adds.
