[아시아경제 뉴욕=백종민 특파원] US President Joe Biden said on the 25th (local time) that the competition between the United States and China is fierce and that China will not become the world’s strongest country in front of him. It shows a strong determination to take one step further from the previous prediction of competition with China and win the competition with China.
President Biden told his first official press conference after taking office, “I see competition with China as intense. China has the overall goal of becoming a world leader, the world’s richest country, and the world’s most powerful country. “He said.
“It won’t happen in front of me,” said President Biden. “Because the United States will grow and expand.”
He also made a statement to the effect that the United States will raise its voice while keeping China accountable for issues such as the South China Sea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Xinjiang Uighur. He pointed out, “The more China hides (human rights violations), the more the United States will find out.”
President Biden described Chinese President Xi Jinping as “a man without a democratic skeleton, but a smart man,” and said he did not want a confrontation with China. At the same time, the current competition between the United States and China is defined as a competition between totalitarianism and democracy.
Meanwhile, President Biden also stressed that he will invite the leaders of Japan, Australia and India, who are participating in the Quad, a security alliance against China, to Washington DC.
