Is That a Rolex on Biden’s Wrist?
Recent presidents not named Trump have tended to wear Everyman timepieces such as Timex and Shinola.
Jan. 22, 2021, 11:00 a.m. ET
President Biden may cast his arrival in the White House as a return to business as usual at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there’s at least one way he’s breaking from prevailing presidential tradition: he wears a Rolex.
At his inauguration, Mr. Biden laid his hand on the family Bible wearing a stainless steel Rolex Datejust watch with a blue dial, a model that retails for more than $7,000 and is a far cry from the Everyman timepieces that every president not named Trump has worn conspicuously in recent decades.
To many, a president wearing a luxury watch might not seem unusual. Shouldn’t the leader of the free world wear a power watch befitting his position? (Never mind that it costs the equivalent of dozen or so stimulus checks.)
That concept was widely accepted once, back when Dwight D. Eisenhower and Lyndon B. Johnson posed guiltlessly for Oval Office portraits wearing gold Rolexes. Not for nothing is Rolex’s storied gold Day-Date model known as the “President.”
Such political power watches, however, had gone out of style in the internet age, when most recent presidents, and politicians in general, seemed to consider the luxury watch as a signifier of out-of-touch elitism.
Bill Clinton seemed to thumb his nose at aristocratic gold timepieces by wearing a Timex Ironman, a “plastic digital watch, thick as a brick and handsome as a hernia,” as The Washington Post wrote in 1993.
His successor, George W. Bush, went even more down market, wearing a Timex Indiglo, the kind once sold at drugstores.
The choice of a watch that cost $50 or less was either a man-of-the-people statement — even though Mr. Bush was an oil scion who went to Yale — or a masterstroke of old-money preppyism, where any hint of gilded glimmer is considered vulgar.
–The Seamaster is a brawny scuba watch worn by Daniel Craig’s bone-breaking James Bond.
So what to make of Mr. Biden’s watches?
Whether a conscious fashion statement or not, the high-end, but macho, watches suggest that, even at 78, this former high school football star of the Kennedy years still wants to be seen as a he-man, rugged and young at heart (see his aviator sunglasses).
They also embody a classic version of the American Dream: that anyone, even a kid from Scranton, can make it to the pinnacle of power.
Then again, he may just wish to make it to White House meetings on time.

New law seen as warning to Tokyo and Washington over Senkakus

China fires opening salvo at Biden, making coast guard quasi-military
New law seen as warning to Japan and US over Senkakus
January 23, 2021
January 23, 2021 04:36 JST
BEIJING – Two days into the administration of U.S. President Joe Biden, China enacted legislation Friday explicitly granting broad powers to the country's coast guard and confirming the force's quasi-military status.
Specifically, it authorizes the coast guard to fire on foreign ships under certain circumstances. The agency will be empowered to "carry out defense operations" under the orders of the Central Military Commission, the military's top decision-making body.
President Xi Jinping signed the presidential orders to promulgate the law, which will go into effect Feb. 1. It comes a day after Biden's national security adviser, Jake Sullivan, assured his Japanese counterpart that the Japanese-administered Senkaku Islands fall under the U.S.-Japan defense treaty, and is likely to further heighten tensions in the East China Sea.
This is particularly alarming to Japan as it deals with increasingly frequent Chinese incursions into waters around the Senkakus, which are claimed by Beijing as the Diaoyu. More than 1,100 Chinese government ships entered the contiguous zone around the islands last year, an annual record, and Japan plans to beef up its patrols in the area in response.
"We have conveyed our interest and concern to the other side" regarding the new law, Japanese Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi told reporters Friday. He called Beijing's continued forays around the islands "extremely regrettable."
The timing of the law's passage shortly after Biden's inauguration Wednesday suggests that Beijing aims to warn the new administration that it will not budge on its maritime interests.
The coast guard was originally positioned as an administrative rather than a military body, as part of the State Oceanic Administration, to avoid clashes with neighboring countries or the U.S. while still expanding Beijing's effective control in the South China Sea and elsewhere. It was moved under the umbrella of the People's Armed Police in a 2018 reorganization.
The legislation gives the coast guard a mandate to defend waters under China's "jurisdiction" as well as the airspace above them. China has not clearly defined the scope of this "jurisdiction," but it is believed to include the area around the Senkakus and the waters within its "nine-dash line" encompassing most of the South China Sea.
The coast guard's duties include protecting islands and reefs as well as artificial islands and other structures, the law says. When asked about the legislation Friday, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying asserted that the Senkakus and affiliated islands are an "inherent part of China's territory," and that the country will protect its "territorial rights and maritime interests."
Beijing has since 2014 engaged in an aggressive island-building program around the Spratly Islands in the South China Sea, which it claims under the nine-dash line despite competing claims from other countries in the region. An arbitration tribunal found that these activities were illegal in a 2016 ruling stating that the nine-dash line has no basis in international law.
China has refused to accept the ruling, calling it no more than a "scrap of paper." The new legislation states that the coast guard will take any "necessary measures" to protect territory claimed by Beijing.
It also stipulates that the coast guard may forcibly dismantle unapproved structures built by foreign countries in waters it claims, signaling that China is prepared to use force to protect its interests in the East and South China seas.
The coast guard will have the right to use "all necessary measures, including weapons," in cases where China's sovereignty is deemed to be violated.
