He pulled out of the TPP which was fairly explicitly about containing China.

Which was failry explicirly aboit containing China.

Opposing Trump Trade War (TTW?) wasn't going to resurrect TPP wasn't going to resurrect TPP. I doubt Biden has the stomach for that either. Most people hate boondoggles, and we've noticed ISDS.
