BIDEN first visited China at the age of 36, as part of a US government delegation

when he was the senator for Delaware (1973 – 2009).45 He spent several days with

Deng Xiaoping <Deng>, China’s newly anointed ‘paramount leader’ who set the

country on a path of reform and opening up.

Foreign relations were later to become an important facet of BIDEN’s career, when

in 1997 he became a ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee

<SFRC>, which is a standing committee of the US Senate that leads foreign policy

legislation and debate in the Senate. The SFRC oversees the funding of foreign aid programs, arm sales

to national allies, international treaty negotiations, and diplomatic nominations.

From the perspective of a foreign competitor (or adversary), the SFRC is a critical US government

department that can have a disproportionate effect on its development and position in geopolitics. Any

SFRC member would be valuable as an intelligence asset or for swinging policy favorably to a foreign

country. BIDEN’s membership came at a critical time for China, when its applied to join the World

Trade Organization <WTO>. Membership would enable China to trade more freely with the rest of the

world to boost its economic development. It would also enable China’s wealthy politicians and politically

connected elite to prosper and profit from the trade boom, money which they would later want to invest

overseas.

During China’s application, BIDEN (as did many other US politicians at the time) supported free-trade

legislation that helped China join the WTO. In 2001, when China was admitted, BIDEN became SFRC

chairman, now holding a position of significant global influence in which he should strive to act in the

US national interest. At a minimum, the SFRC chairman should be free of foreign interference.

In his early days as SFRC chairman, BIDEN was described as a policy hawk. Prior to China joining the

WTO, he argued that “…if China continues to behave as a rogue elephant on weapons proliferation, we

should be prepared to retaliate with a clear and unequivocal message…denying China most-favorednation trade status.”46 During the Clinton presidency, the scandal on Chinese access for donations were

termed “serious stuff” and should be reviewed for any “correlation of quid pro quo”.47

In August 2001, BIDEN visited China for state-level talks with then CPC Chairman Jiang Zemin (江泽

民), where BIDEN was tough with China on issues such as weapons proliferation, its judicial system,

and human rights record. 48 But as the 2000s progressed, BIDEN became gradually more

accommodating of China’s rise. In 2004, he was pictured meeting the Chinese Ambassador to the US at

the time, YANG.
