BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): US President Joe Biden's China team is competent but does not inspire confidence. The good news for US-China relations is that the accession of Biden brings with it the promise of decent speech, a degree of fair play and the restoration of protocol. In putting together his China team, he has called upon partisan professionals who he has reason to trust. If this is an accurate indication of which way the wind is now blowing in Foggy Bottom, then US-China relations are going to remain on tenterhooks for some time to come. As the joke goes, the job of think tanks is to make the taxpayer think they need more tanks.
