Albeit he, (or, whoever is actually in charge) are even more passive than Chamberlain in their appeasement.
Whereas Chamberlain actually acknowledged that the Germans were an increasing threat and opted to 'be nice so nothing bad happens', Biden is basically ignoring that China is even a threat to begin with.
The China buildup is even larger (and more obvious) than the German buildup as they attributed their growing military and economic size to 'rebuilding' after Versailles. Yet, it seems we are well on our way to 'lets play nice so no one does anything mean to anyone' and in the process, literally hindering yourself while at the same time, allowing the other guy to not play by your (or anyone's rules) and hoping you'll be pals when they no longer need you.
We all know how well appeasement worked.
