Biden Administration Should Not Underestimate China: Daily

The incoming Biden administration should not underestimate China's resolve and capabilities to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity, the China Daily said in editorial denouncing a planned trip to Taiwan by the current U.S. ambassador to the UN Kelly Craft. The lifting of U.S. restrictions on official contact with Taiwan would be met with strong opposition and countermeasures from Beijing, which considers the One China policy and a pledge from the U.S. not to officially engage with Taiwan the bedrock of bilateral relations, the official English-language newspaper said. The move is another effort by the outgoing Trump administration to hobble its successor, the Daily said.
