The competition between the US and China should not turn into a conflict
During a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping, US President Joe Biden said that competition between the two countries should not become a conflict.
"We must ensure that competition does not turn into conflict. And we must also manage it responsibly... This is what the United States wants and what we intend to do... I also believe that this is what the world wants for both of us..." , Biden said.
He also said that he and the Chinese leader are responsible to their people and the world to work together when it is in their interests.
The critical global challenges we face, from climate change to the fight against drugs and artificial intelligence, require our joint efforts, Biden emphasized.
Meeting of the leaders of the USA and China
It will be recalled that Biden and Xi Jinping met on American soil for the first time in six years. The last time a Chinese leader visited the United States was when Donald Trump was president.
Biden and Xi Jinping are expected to raise global issues: the conflict in the Middle East, Russia's invasion of Ukraine, North Korea's relationship with the Russian Federation, Taiwan, human rights, artificial intelligence, and trade and economic relations.
Biden previously stated that his goal at the negotiations would be to improve relations with China against the backdrop of tensions in relations related, particularly to the issue of Taiwan.
