President Joe Biden told Indo-Pacific allies on Saturday that he believes China's increasing military assertiveness is a test as Beijing faces domestic economic challenges and seeks to minimize diplomatic turbulence.
CLAYMONT, Del. — President Joe Biden told Indo-Pacific allies on Saturday that he believes China ’s increasing military assertiveness is an effort to test the region at a turbulent moment for Beijing.
Starting with a trade war that dates back to 2018, China and the United States have grown at odds over a range of issues, from global security, such as China’s claims over the South China Sea, to industrial policy on electric vehicle and solar panel manufacturing. “It will survive way beyond November," Biden declared as the leaders gathered at the Archmere Academy, his high school alma mater in nearby Claymont for joint talks.
"This place could not be better suited for my final visit as prime minister,” said Kishida, who like Biden, is set to soon leave office. The Australian leader remarked that the visit had given him “insight into what in my view makes you such an extraordinary world leader.” Biden and Modi discussed Modi's recent visits to Russia and Ukraine as well as economic and security concerns about China. Modi is the most prominent leader from a nation that maintains a neutral position on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
