In an exclusive media interview, President Biden said he expects the relationship between the United States and China to be one of “fierce competition” rather than conflict between the two world powers, and that Chinese Communist Party President Xi Jinping “has no democracy in his bones.
The CBS anchor asked, “The U.S.-China relationship is probably one of the most important issues in the world. Why haven’t you called Xi Jinping?
Biden replied, “We haven’t had a chance to talk to him yet, and there’s no reason not to call him. People tell me I’ve probably spent more Time with Xi Jinping than any world leader, because I had 24 to 25 hours of personal meetings with him when I was vice president and traveled 17,000 miles with him. I know him very well.
He’s tough,” Biden said. But I’m not criticizing, just stating the reality that he’s not a bit democratic at heart,” he said.
“I’ve always said to him, we don’t have to clash. But the competition will be fierce.
He also mentioned, “I won’t do what former President Donald Trump did. We will focus on international rules.
