US-China rivalry: Biden likely to boost ties with Asian allies to keep Beijing in check, observers say

HONG KONG, Nov 9 (SCMP): A Joe Biden presidency is unlikely to mean a reduction in the United States’ efforts to contain China as regardless of who is in the White House, Washington will continue to boost ties with its Asian allies to keep Beijing in check, observers say.

While a win for the Democratic presidential candidate is likely to see the US re-engaging with the world, after four years of backing away under Donald Trump, that is not necessarily good news for China, the experts say.
