Biden is a fact-driven person. We've seen this in this approach to COVID-19 and the whole vaccination program. We've seen it is an approach to the areas of tension between the U.S. and China. What does he say? He has launched a whole series of studies on trade, on the military, on technology, on the transfer of human talent. What is positioning himself to do is to come back, armed with the facts, and basically say that we're going to follow the facts and to use the Chinese phrase—a win-win mentality—towards China.
