Washington: US President Joe Biden said on Thursday that he is not looking for a confrontation with China, but expects steep competition with a country that he vowed will not become the world’s leading power on his watch.
“Were not looking for confrontation, although we know there will be steep-steep competition,” Biden said in his first press conference since assuming office in January.
“China has an overall goal to become a leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, the most powerful country in the world. This is not going to happen on my watch.”
