US President Biden publicized his economic achievements in a speech at the Brookings Institution in Washington on Tuesday, and warned Trump to repeat the Republican "trickle-down economics" during his second term. This may be his last speech on the economy during his tenure. Biden said in his speech that he promoted investment in infrastructure, manufacturing and neglected communities, avoided a bigger economic crisis and laid the foundation for sustained economic growth. "The new government will take over a fairly strong economy, and most economists agree with this view," Biden said. "I deeply hope that the new government can maintain and carry forward such progress. Biden proudly said that after decades of trickle-down economics, which gave priority to the wealthy Americans, his government adopted a new approach. At present, the economy is growing from the inside out and from the bottom up, benefiting the middle class. He admitted that American workers still suffer from inflation and high housing prices. Biden stressed that during his tenure, he created 16 million jobs, the highest in a single presidency, the lowest average unemployment rate in all previous governments in the past 50 years, and the smallest racial gap between the rich and the poor in the past 20 years. Biden warned Trump to provide more tax cuts for the rich and enterprises during his second term, and said that Trump's commitment to impose tariffs on overseas goods may make a "big mistake". He also said that he thought Trump would be in trouble if he stopped the investments he made during his administration, because these investments benefited many Republican and Democratic-led states.Robot concept stocks fell at the opening, Hanwang Technology fell, Hanwang Technology and Shandong Mining Machine fell, and Sanfeng Intelligent, Tuosida, Hanwei Technology, Shuanglin, Weichuang Electric, Fengli Intelligent and Wuzhou Xinchun fell more than 5%.
