00:00A former top U.S. official says that U.S. President Donald Trump's decision-making on China has been
00:05contradictory. Former U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, who shaped China policy
00:12during the Biden administration, was speaking in an interview with Foreign Policy. Campbell said
00:17Trump's ambiguity on China may be intentionally designed to keep the country guessing as to his
00:23true ambitions. Trump's predecessor, U.S. President Joe Biden, had appeared to take a clearer stance on
00:30issues like Taiwan. Campbell said Biden broke with the U.S.'s practice of strategic ambiguity on Taiwan
00:36multiple times, indicating that the U.S. would come to its defense if there was a conflict with China.
