“We do need to get tough with China. If China has its way, it will keep robbing the U.S. of our technology and intellectual property, or forcing American companies to give it away. The most effective way to meet that challenge is to build a united front of friends and partners to challenge China's abusive behavior.”

Assessments
evidence-backed verdictsThese are sourced verdicts from fact-checkers or community evidence reviews — not opinions.
Biden maintained and expanded pressure on China's technology-transfer and IP practices, culminating in a formal four-year Section 301 review completed May 14, 2024, and finalized September 13, 2024, raising tariffs on EVs, batteries, semiconductors, solar cells, steel, aluminum and critical minerals, with USTR concluding China 'has not eliminated many of its technology transfer-related acts, policies, and practices.' On building a 'united front of friends and partners,' the administration launched the 14-member Indo-Pacific Economic Framework in May 2022 and concluded a Supply Chain Agreement in 2024, showing real but partial progress toward a coordinated allied response rather than a fully realized united front.
