Abstract Globalization in Foreign Policy Globalization tends to increase the interdependence and interconnectedness of flows of people, goods, services, information, technology, and capital. Supported by the technological revolution in the 21st century, the formation of markets and cultures with global dimensions has increased trade and networked production. In a globalized world, technological advances and almost unlimited access to information are examples of the increased interconnectedness and interdependence of countries beyond the state-to-state level. The central question and objective of this research is the characteristics of US foreign policy in the Joe Biden era (2020-2024) with China. Using a descriptive-analytical method, it can be said that at the macro level, US foreign policy in the Biden era in 2020-2024 is focused on protecting national security, advancing democracy and human rights, promoting American values, and managing strategic competition with China through international alliances and interactions. In contrast, China’s foreign policy focuses on the fundamental principles of peaceful coexistence, mutual respect for sovereignty, non-interference, and mutual benefit, and emphasizes domestic economic growth, regional stability, and shaping global norms in emerging areas such as space and the Internet. The two countries have a complex and evolving relationship, with the United States seeking to manage competition while China prioritizes domestic development and increasing influence. At a micro level, however, it can be said that during the Joe Biden presidency, US foreign policy with China has been shaped by such characteristics as reducing political-military tensions, transitioning from Trump’s policy, transatlanticism, multilateralism, a global consensus against China, and investing in artificial intelligence to reduce China’s technological and economic power.
