The Biden White House released its “Interim National Security Strategic Guidance” in early March 2021. The INSS Guidance lays the foundation for President Joe Biden’s foreign policy vision and his administration’s mission to reverse the course sustained over the past four years of former President Donald Trump’s administration.

Now that the United States presidential election has drawn to a close with Joe Biden as president-elect, there is a grave concern in Taipei that “a return of Obama-era foreign policy advisers in a potential Biden administration” could mean “a more conciliatory” approach toward China and “less supportive of Taiwan” compared to the Trump administration. In fact, it hardly mattered who won the election.
