Early signs from the Biden administration indicate a similar approach. Under pressure from congressional Republicans, Secretary of State Antony Blinken has expressed concern about China&#8217;s behavior toward Taiwan with senior Chinese officials and has upheld loosened diplomatic restrictions on future island visits.
