Maybe I’m weird but I always go to the fact that Trump signed an agreement to leave Afghanistan and Biden pushed the date but kept the agreement. It could and should have been handled differently, but the fact that Trump made the deal is important, IMHO.
For the first time, I entered a search question in Bing AI Chat about Joe Biden dealing with China's technology abuses. The response agreed entirely with your commentary. I was somewhat doubtful, so I checked for confirmation and the only wholehearted support was from Foreign Policy - The Magazine of News and Ideas, owned by the Washington Post. Other sources questioned how such EOs and rules might be enforced.
“Going back to Vietnam, the US has sought proxies that would stand and fight on their own. Now that we have one, MAGA wants to abandon them. “
What is the strongest argument to support America’s willingness to fight a proxy war with Russia via Ukraine?
You mentioned Ramaswamy. He is questioning the US role in this war, because those who wholeheartedly support it fail to account for the well-documented objections that Russians have expressed toward NATO expansion over the past three decades. His views are that America’s specific policies toward NATO and Russia have led to this war—as many foreign policy analysts have long warned that they would. And lastly, he correctly states that Ukraine is not a paragon of western democracy but a deeply corrupt country and Zelensky and those close to him profit incredibly from this war.

I think the jury is still out. The ability to use EOs is definitely limited.
I also saw this item yesterday, where Yellen tied economic relations with China to human rights.
