Blinken: China poses a greater risk than Russia
Antony Blinken

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken says the administration of President Joe Biden intends to lead the international bloc that opposes Russian aggression against Ukraine into a broader coalition to counter what Washington sees as a more serious and long-term threat. for the global order from China.

In a speech in Washington on Thursday, Mr. Blinken detailed the administration's policy of competing with Beijing in a race to determine 21st-century economic and military equilibrium.

While the United States sees Russia as the sharpest and most immediate threat to international stability, Mr. Blinken said the US administration believes China poses a greater threat.

The secretary of state said the United States does not seek to isolate China from the global economy, but wants Beijing to abide by international rules.

Mr Blinken said the United States would not block China from boosting its economy or advancing the interests of its people, but would protect and strengthen the law and international institutions that maintain peace and security and enable countries - including United States and China - to coexist and cooperate.

"We are not looking for conflict or a new cold war. "On the contrary, we are determined to avoid both," Mr Blinken said in a speech at George Washington University.

U.S.-China relations fell to their lowest level in decades under former President Trump's administration and have deteriorated further under President Joe Biden, who has so far maintained his predecessor's comprehensive tariffs on Chinese goods.

He has also taken steps to deepen ties with Indo-Pacific allies and beyond to curb Beijing's growing influence.

Democrat President Biden, however, has faced criticism from Republicans and some foreign policy analysts for failing to present a formal strategy for China, the world's second-largest economy after the United States and Washington's main strategic rival.

Mr Blinken's speech coincides with the start of a Chinese foreign minister's tour of the Pacific islands, an increasingly tense front in the rivalry for influence between Beijing and Washington and its allies. He said Washington's attention remains "unwavering" on the Indo-Pacific and China.

Blinken: We will expand cooperation with Taiwan regardless of China

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has said the United States will continue to expand cooperation with Taiwan, despite Beijing's "growing threats."

Mr Blinken said Washington still adhered to the "one China" policy of recognizing Beijing, but allowing informal relations with Taiwan and selling arms to the country.

Secretary Blinken's comments Thursday in Washington follow President Joe Biden's visits to South Korea and Japan, where China was part of the discussions.

President Biden raised questions during those visits when he said the United States would act militarily to help Taiwan defend itself in the event of an invasion by China, which considers the island a treacherous province.

The administration insisted that President Biden was not changing US policy, and officials said Mr Blinken would reiterate that the United States had not changed its position .
