The United States is not trying to block China from growing its economy, but will work to compel the country to stick to international rules, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said
Blinken calls China the most serious challenge to global orderWASHINGTON, May 26 - The United States will not block China from growing its economy, but wants it to adhere to international rules, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Thursday in a long-awaited speech on U.S. strategy to address China's rise as a great power.
Seventeen months into his administration Biden had faced criticism from Republicans and some foreign policy watchers for not announcing a formal strategy on China, the world's second-largest economy and Washington's main strategic rival. He laid out the contours of a strategy to invest in U.S. competitiveness and align with allies and partners to compete with China, calling that competition "ours to lose."
"China and the U.S. both stand to gain from cooperation and lose from confrontation," embassy spokesperson Liu Pengyu said.
