ABSTRACT

On October 15, 2020, the Biden administration submitted its first official National Security Strategy report to the White House. The report, overall, continues the tone towards China set during the Trump era. The Biden administration defines China as the "greatest geopolitical challenge" and the "top, priority, and sole global competitor," considering the "increasingly confident" China as the only competitor capable of combining economic, diplomatic, military, and technological power to challenge the stable and open international system. The description of China in the report reflects the longstanding mistrust of the United States towards China and its long-term perception of the competitive relationship between the two countries. This article, from the perspective of stakeholder theory and in conjunction with constructivism's "identity positioning," focuses on analyzing the National Security Strategy report released by the Biden administration and examining the changes in the United States' identity positioning towards China in different domains.
