US-Taiwan version of Belt and Road an empty political hype

Will Biden sweep away Trump's 'America First' policy?
Those insinuations are not at all internationalist per se. They carry a strong dose of nationalism. In this case, how can Biden convince allies abroad and liberal internationalists at home that his foreign policy will really jettison Trump's legacy? Or will this merely be a sugar coating for further heavy-handed American interventionism in other countries' domestic affairs?

Biden transition faces rocky road while China marches on
Trump reportedly is ready to begin the formal transition process. This indicates that the US will commence to “correct” its policies of the past four years.
