Yang made the comment at a news conference in Taipei held by the National Policy Foundation, a think tank affiliated with the Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT). Yang said he believes that if Biden were to become US president, he would adopt a diplomatic approach that focuses on communication and coordination. Traditionally, US foreign policy has been bipartisan, he said, adding that the general attitudes and policies of both major US parties are similar, although their approaches might be different. In terms of arms sales, Yang said that Biden might think more carefully about how they would affect the relationship between the US and China. Biden is aware of this change, Yang said, adding that the former US vice president would see China as a competitor, but not necessarily an adversary.
