两党再如何吵闹，实际上他们的政策是连续的，尤其是对外。friend-shoring这个词就是在biden presidency 期间叫响起来的。不要杀掉前人种下的树和苗，要给别人应该有的credit。如果问中共怕恨哪个党，我相信他们会说民主党。因为民主党很多时候是做不说，这可能也是你们没知道的原因。川普正相反，邪乎别人先，先嚷出去先，弄鸡飞狗跳，再回头来来回回改。Why? 做人呢，别人应该的到的credits要大方给人家，不要太Trump. 我还是英文表达清楚一下。
During the Biden administration, diversifying supply chains and reducing U.S. dependence on China became a core economic and national security priority. You can go back to count how many times U.S. officials visited China to communicate these goals, ensuring that China understood our intentions while avoiding misunderstandings, demonstrating that we take a firm and responsible stance.
Biden, Blinken, Yellen have all emphasized what they call "de-risking, not decoupling" many many many times. That means not cutting off China entirely (you can't. you just simply can't because you don't have the ability to do so), but reducing dependencies in critical sectors such as semiconductors, batteries, pharmaceuticals, and rare earths. The strategy aims to make US supply chains more resilient and geographically diversified, which means bring some production back to the US or allies(friend-shoring). They know they need allies to face China together and they know we cannot do this alone! Trump does not know, even now.
Here were the key actions:
-
CHIPS and Science Act (2022): Massive subsidies to boost U.S. semiconductor manufacturing and reduce reliance on Asian chip production (especially China and Taiwan).
-
Inflation Reduction Act (2022): Encourages electric-vehicle and clean-energy supply chains within the U.S. and friendly nations.
-
Treasury initiatives: Yellen pushed for deeper supply-chain partnerships with India, Vietnam, Mexico, and the EU.
-
State Department diplomacy: Blinken promoted economic “corridors” and agreements with Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea to rebalance global production networks.
Here were the achievements:
-
Some companies (like Apple, Dell, and Tesla) have shifted partial production to India and Vietnam.
-
Imports of Chinese goods have fallen modestly, while U.S. imports from Mexico and ASEAN countries have risen.
-
However, the U.S. still depends heavily on China for components like rare earth materials, solar panels, and medical supplies — meaning full independence is still far away.

The U.S. import ranking shifted: by 2023, the U.S. imported more goods from Mexico than from China for the first time in over 20 years.
