Biden’s latest statement： he must be prepared for long-term strategic competition with China, and he himself ＂welcomes this competition.＂

　　[Global Network Reporter Bian Zihao] On the 19th local time, US President Biden attended the Munich Security Conference online. According to the information released on the White House website that day, Biden called on allies to be prepared for "long-term strategic competition with China" when talking about foreign policy at the meeting.

　　"We must be prepared for long-term strategic competition with China. How the United States, Europe and Asia cooperate to ensure peace, defend our common values and promote the prosperity and development of the entire Pacific region will be one of our most important efforts. " Biden said at the meeting.

　　In addition, Biden also said that the competition with China will be fierce, but he "welcomes it". "The competition with China will be fierce. This is what I foresee. I welcome such competition because I believe in the (current) global system, and our partners in Europe, the United States and our Indo-Pacific region have worked together to establish this system in the past 70 years. " Biden said.

　　The South China Morning Post believes that Biden’s statement on that day is one of the clearest signals for the new US administration to release how to treat and deal with Beijing. The report also said that Biden’s speech reflected how great the "political sentiment" of the United States towards China has changed in the past year.

　　On the future development of Sino-US relations, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, responded earlier that the future direction of Sino-US relations depends on the correct choice made by the US and the joint efforts of both sides. It is imperative that the two sides should work together to eliminate all kinds of interference and obstacles and realize a smooth transition of Sino-US relations. At the same time, we should strive to restart dialogue, get back on track and rebuild mutual trust in the next stage of Sino-US relations along the direction that conforms to the common interests of the two countries and their peoples.
