"More and more closer": Biden considers China a more serious problem than Russia

The US believes that the world is now a turning point when years can decide what the next decades will be. US President Joe Biden still considers China the most serious geopolitical challenge to the United States, despite the war of Russian President Vladimir Putin in Ukraine and his threats to use nuclear weapons. About it writes The Washington Post, citing the words of the US Presidential Advisor Jake Sullivan.

However, as the official stated, restraining "extremely dangerous Russia" remains the key purpose of Washington. The publication writes that the double threat from Russia and China is set out in the National Security Strategy of Biden administration, a document that the Congress invited. "China and Russia are increasingly approaching each other, but the problems they put are largely different," the document reads. Sullivan said that the war in Ukraine did not radically change Biden's views.

The document is mentioned in references to energy -related issues, food security and combat readiness. The document states that China is the only state that is able to change the world order. It is claimed that the conflict in Ukraine has significantly reduced Russia's status on China and other Asian states such as India and Japan. "The soft power and diplomatic influence of Moscow declined. And her efforts to transform energy into weapons have led to the opposite results," the document said.

Sullivan stated that the world is at a turning point when the years decide what decades will be. According to him, the two main strategic challenges faced by the United States are "geopolitical rivalry" with China in the world after the end of the Cold War and a huge scale and speed of transnational challenges. These challenges do not respect the borders and do not follow international rules. Among them are climate changes, lack of food and energy security, as well as diseases such as coronavirus.

Earlier, Focus reported that Ukraine can receive integrated anti -categorical protection. The US military stated that the Allies should provide Ukraine with different air defense systems to create one network to reliable priority protection. We will also remind that the UN General Assembly adopted an anti -Russian resolution. The UN stated that they support the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine. The adopted resolution also called the actions of the Russian Federation criminal.
