President-Elect Joe Biden announced additional nominations to his cabinet on Monday, including a National Security Adviser who has advocated for supporting China’s “rise” in the past.
Jake Sullivan has been tapped to fill the role, after previously advising Biden when he served as vice president in the Obama administration. Sullivan also worked for Hillary Clinton when she served as Secretary of State.
Sullivan could bring in a fresh perspective to relations with China when compared with the Trump administration if his past comments are an indication.
During a lecture he delivered on behalf of the Lowy Institute in 2017, Sullivan said leading foreign policy expert Owen Harries was “right” to warn against “containment” as a self-defeating policy, much like acquiescence.
“We need to strike a middle course – one that encourages China’s rise in a manner consistent with an open, fair, rules-based, regional order,” Sullivan said. “This will require care and prudence and strategic foresight, and maybe even more basically it will require sustained attention. It may not have escaped your notice that these are not in ample supply in Washington right now.”
During the same lecture, Sullivan said China policy needs to be about more than just bilateral ties, "it needs to be about our ties to the region that create an environment more conducive to a peaceful and positive sum Chinese rise," he said.
Sullivan reasoned that a thriving China, specifically from an economic standpoint, was good for the global economy, though it depends on the “parameters of the system within which China is rising.”

Chinese puppets.
If the fraud isn’t exposed and undone: Welcome to China East, formerly the USA.
One often gets what one pays for.
I am going to have to go full ostrich, just cannot take the swamp poop are going to pull.
I want as much money as China gave Bill Clinton.
YES...let’s encourage our enemies.
Nobody axed that POS anything.
And so it begins.....
The Clintoons sold our Nuclear Secrets to CHina already and overnight advanced their nuclear weapons by 6 generations while saving them 50 yrs if research and Billions in cost.
I shudder to think of all our secrets that Biden will be selling to our enemies next!!
Jake Sullivan is a traitor, just like biden!!!!
America should encourage the FALL of the Chinese Communist Party, just like the USSR!!!!
Trump can do it!!!! biden can only knuckle under to the ChiComs!!!!
Cheap labor express.
RE: YES...let’s encourage our enemies
*THAT* is the problem. The democrats DO NOT see the CCP as our enemies.
Perhaps the most brutal regime in history. Why not??
China owns biden. They have him cold on selling out the USA and will use the info to complete the transaction. Better buy a book on mandarin.
What a fool.
They literally want to deliver US to China.
I would slightly edit that to read: US should encourage [Chinese] Communism's rise, Biden national security pick Jake Sullivan says
Wikipedia states that "As a one-party state led by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), ... China is the largest economy in the world by PPP since 2014, the second-largest by nominal GDP since 2010, the world's largest manufacturing economy since 2010, and the second-wealthiest nation in the world."
Democrat politicians (such as Sleepy Joe) sure love Marxism and Communism.
I will never click on Fox! Thanks Fox for aiding and abetting the Fraud of the Millennium!
Puppets yeah...about to make us a Chinese colony.
It might be a good idea to get out while we can...this is about to become the worst place on Earth.
