Not Seeking “Confrontation” With China, Says Biden
US President Joe Biden said he was not seeking a “confrontation” with China.
Washington:
US President Joe Biden said he was not seeking a “confrontation” with China, but that there would be intense competition between the rival superpowers.
He called Chinese leader Xi Jinping an autocrat who “doesn’t have a democratic — with a small ‘d’ — bone in his body.”
However, Biden said, “I told him in person on several occasions we’re not looking for confrontation, though we know that there will be steep, steep competition.”
