US President Joe Biden said the White House is determined to defend the sovereignty and interests of the United States in the event of a threat to China. The American leader said this during his annual State of the Union address to the US Congress. Biden also recalled the downing of a Chinese spy balloon in the US sky by the military.
We made it clear last week that if China threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. And we did it,” said the President of the United States.
In addition, given the situation in China, he noted the need to strengthen democracy in the world. At the same time, Biden reaffirmed that his government is “determined to work with China, where it is possible to advance American interests and benefit the world.”
The day before, the White House said that the appearance of a spy balloon over the United States from Beijing did not help improve the already difficult relations between the two states. Therefore, Secretary of State Anthony Blinken postponed a planned visit to China.
Recall that Biden, in a speech before Congress, addressed the people of Ukraine, saying that the United States will continue to provide support “as much as needed.” He called Russia’s attack on Ukraine “a test for the ages,” “a test for America, a test for the world.”
