Biden has framed the struggle between the U.S. and China as one that will determine whether democracy or autocracy leads the world into the future.<\/p>\n<p>Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials have also grown more openly belligerent against the U.S., accusing America of violating human rights even as it carries out a genocide against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang.<\/p>\n<p>The first two heads of state Biden chose to host at the White House were Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and South Korean President Moon Jae-in, further showing his focus on Asia and determination to stand up to Chinese aggression.<\/p>\n<p>Biden\u2019s last major ambassadorial pick was Mark Brzezinski to fill the U.S. embassy in Poland. Brzezinski is the brother of MSNBC\u2019s Morning Joe host, Mika Brzezinski.<\/p>\n<p>The ambassadorships to the U.K., France, Germany and numerous others also remain unfilled, however.
