“If China threatens our sovereignty, the US will take action.” – Biden

In his State of the Union speech on Tuesday, U.S. President Joe Biden stated that should China pose a danger to its sovereignty, the United States will take action to defend itself.

Biden insisted he was committed to working with China where it could advance U.S. interests and benefit the world.

He said, “But make no mistake about it, as we made clear last week if China threatens our sovereignty, we’ll act to protect our country. And we did.”

A suspected Chinese surveillance balloon that had been flying above the nation for days was shot down by the US on Sunday with a missile off the coast of South Carolina on the Atlantic.

President Xi Jinping of China, according to Biden, was informed that the United States desired competition, not conflict.

He said, “I’ll make no apologies that we are investing to make America strong.

“Investing in American innovation, in industries that’ll define the future and that China’s government is intent on dominating.

“The world is faced with serious challenges.”

Biden added, “But in the past two years, democracies have become stronger, not weaker.

“Autocracies have grown weaker, not stronger.”
