Biden (Joe Biden), who continues to lead the Democratic presidential campaign in the United States, has called for enhanced relationship with Australia and other key Asian allies to deal with China`s "bad behavior."
According to the Australian newspaper, in the first major speech on foreign policy in the campaign, the 76-year-old Biden criticized the current president, Donald Trump, and criticized him for weakening the US leadership in the world. Status and reputation.
"the world sees Trump as a lack of sincerity, closed news, recklessness, and sometimes even corruption people," Biden said in the New York speech. "in my opinion, his leadership at home and abroad is incompetent, which is very dangerous."
On the question of China, Mr. Biden said he would be in contact with the most close ally of the United States, with a view to China and its "unfair trade" and to take joint action.
Biden believes that Trump`s trade tariff war against China will only lead to "the American farmers, manufacturers and consumers suffer losses and pay more."
"We need to take tough measures against China," he said. "if China goes the way it is, it will move on, plunder the technology and intellectual property rights of American companies, and force American companies to give up [technology and intellectual property rights] in order to do business in China."
"the most effective way is to establish a common front of friends and allies to counter China`s bad practices."
He also said his policies will include "reaching out to our partners in Asia, including Japan, South Korea, Australia and India, to consolidate our overall strength."
"if we unite, half of the world`s economic size should not be underestimated by China."
He also described Trump`s foreign policy as "Trump doctrine," calling it "acceptance of dictators, threat of war, tearing up international agreements, waging a trade war, and humiliating the United States."
Biden also attacked Trump`s relationship with Russian President Vladimir (Vladimir Putin) and North Korean leader Kim Jong un, saying he "weakened our democratic alliance while accepting dictators who satisfied his vanity."
Of the 23 Democratic presidential candidates, the most experienced in diplomacy is Biden, a former vice president of Obama`s (Barack Obama) government, who also tried to take advantage of that advantage during the campaign.
Biden claims that if elected, he will re-unite traditional allies, re-join important international agreements and promote democracy rather than maintainlegalrights-to restore America’s credibility on the international stage.
"I will remind the world that we are the United States of America and do not dote on dictators," he said.
He also said the challenge "after a disastrous presidential term at (Trump)" will be to restore our reputation and credibility. "
Trump`s Iran policy, which is also the subject of the Biden attack, is of the view that it only increases the risk of the war, and also promises to rejoin the "Iran`s nuclear deal" if it is to be elected, as long as Iran is committed to it. He also pledged to withdraw from Afghanistan and no longer support the Saudi-led coalition in the Yemeni war.
Mr. Biden also claims that, if in power, foreign policy will again focus on promoting democracy without taking "bluffing" and "to run a country with a" as a basis.
