In fact Biden has been pretty good on China - all due to Covid one assumes - coz that's the only thing that's changed between now and the previous cozy relationship the Dems had with the CCP. There must be higher-intel that points to a lab-leak, possibly even deliberate, that has precipitated this pivot away. All the stuff with HK, Taiwan, the Uyghurs - that's been going on for decades and no one cared.

It's a good point and one I've considered. Why all the fuss now? I mean, it's welcome and better late than never, but what has led to it? Why didn't Pelosi go to Taiwan five years ago?
