China's Rise to Superpower Status Fueled by US Foreign Policy Paralysis and Biden's Policies.

US foreign policy has stalled in key regions as the Biden administration focuses on China as its paramount threat, allowing Beijing to present itself as a superior alternative as it seeks to become the top global superpower, according to experts. While the State Department cited several policy gains in the Middle East, China has stepped in and scored some major policy wins while also supplanting the US as the major source of support in those areas. The US has essentially increased its focus on China, trying to "box in" Beijing with stronger regional alliances and investment in the region, particularly with Japan, which doubled its military spending, and arming Australia with nuclear submarines.
