and this isn't the 1st time he's spoken at all with official us policy. so the question does remain, how's policy changed quietly behind the scenes? or is this just a matter of a president giving his personal views off the cuff, the rest of lincoln speech presented a stark geopolitical framework of china versus the international order. lincoln insisted the u. s. does not want a new cold war of opposing regional blocks. yet, at the same time, he talented the new alliances, the u. s. was making an opposition to china. this is not about forcing companies to choose. it's about giving them a choice. the speech is likely to be viewed skeptically. in beijing, the speech will be seen in beijing as hypocritical, and be ruling that the fight and administration is picking a cold war mentality to deal with a problem. in spite of entity, blank and saying exactly the opposite. china is clearly crept to the international
