A new policy for Hong Kong
It was welcome news that Joe Biden has considered creation of an “Asia tsar” for the White House to coordinate policy in the face of challenges posed by China. However, to fully signal to Beijing that its authoritarian expansionist aims must be halted and reversed, the new administration should consider devising a new foreign policy for Hong Kong.
When President Trump suspended the special treatment of Hong Kong as a trading entity different from the rest of China, the United States harmed its relations with the former British colony. But there is no indication that a new policy distinct from an overall China strategy will be created for Hong Kong. As an exiled dissident from the city, I believe a new policy is critical since it continues to serve American interests to have Hong Kong remain different in both character and politics from the rest of China.

Is U.S. Foreign Policy Too Hostile to China?
We at Foreign Affairs have recently published a number of pieces on U.S. foreign policy toward China and whether it has become too hostile. To complement these articles, we decided to ask a broad pool of experts for their take. As with previous surveys, we approached dozens of authorities with specialized expertise relevant to the question at hand, together with leading generalists in the field. Participants were asked to state whether they agreed or disagreed with a proposition and to rate their confidence level in their opinion. Their answers are below.

China Must Stick With Covid Zero Policy, People’s Daily Says
The Chinese Communist Party’s flagship newspaper endorsed the country’s Covid Zero policy for the second day in a row, dousing hopes that President Xi Jinping will relax controls soon after a key political meeting starting later this week.
Covid Zero is “sustainable” and the country must stick to the strategy because it’s key to stabilizing the economy and protecting lives, the People’s Daily said in a commentary Tuesday. It follows a similar article Monday labeling the stringent pandemic approach as “scientific and effective.” State news agency Xinhua also published a column that said the country can’t be complacent on the virus.
