As tensions rise between the United States and China, Russian President Vladimir Putin paid a visit to his ally, Chinese President Xi Jinping. The meeting comes at a time when the U.S. is considering sanctions against China for various trade practices.

President Joe Biden made a significant move on Tuesday, imposing 100% tariffs on a range of Chinese goods, including electric vehicles, batteries, solar cells, steel, aluminum, and medical equipment. Biden criticized the previous administration's approach, arguing that Chinese government subsidies unfairly advantage their companies in global trade.

Interestingly, an old tweet from Biden resurfaced, dating back to 2019, where he criticized then-President Donald Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports. This resurfacing tweet highlights a shift in Biden's stance from his campaign promises to eliminate Trump's tariffs.

Social media was abuzz with reactions to Biden's reversal, with some users accusing him of mimicking Trump's policies for electoral gain, while others labeled him a hypocrite.

During his campaign, Biden pledged to remove Trump's tariffs if elected, instead focusing on boosting domestic production, particularly in sectors like electric vehicles and advanced technologies.

In contrast, Trump maintains his stance on tariffs, arguing that they could compel changes in China's behavior. He also emphasizes the importance of investment in traditional industries like oil to sustain the American economy, despite concerns about climate change.

The meeting between Putin and Xi adds another layer of complexity to the ongoing geopolitical dynamics, with the U.S. attempting to navigate its relationship with both China and Russia amidst growing tensions.
