U.S. President Joe Biden assessed that Chinese President Xi Jinping is far from democracy 카지노

and said that extreme competition, if not physical conflict with China, will take place.

According to CBS on the 7th (local time), President Biden said in an interview with the media on the 5th, "He is very smart and tough," but "He has no democratic side." It does not mean criticism, it just means reality is like that.

He then told President Xi that he had been telling him that the U.S. and China did not have to clash, and said, "But there will be extreme competition."

"I will not do it the way he knows," he said. "We will not do it the way that Donald Trump (former president) did," he said. "We will focus on the means of international rules."

The remarks are interpreted as an intention not to approach the Trump administration's methodology, although competition with China will be inevitable in the Biden administration.

President Biden repeatedly stressed the need for a strategy to pressure China in international solidarity by rallying alliances instead of the Trump administration's one-on-one trade war between the U.S. and China, represented by high tariffs.

In addition, the Trump administration expressed its intention to put pressure on democracy, the value of human rights, and technology in addition to the trade balance that is focused on.

In a foreign policy speech on the 4th, President Biden called China the most serious competitor and stressed that he would confront China's attacks on human rights, intellectual property rights and global governance. He also said he is ready to cooperate with China if it meets the U.S. national interest.

In this interview, President Biden said he had not yet had a chance to talk to President Xi since taking office, but said, "There is no reason not to call him."
