President Joe Biden spent most of his speech to Congress Wednesday focused on America’s domestic priorities, from taxes to health care. But sprinkled throughout were references to China, underscoring just how much he’s focused on the world’s second-biggest economy.
“We’re in competition with China and other countries to win the 21st Century,” Biden said. President Xi Jinping, Biden added, is “deadly earnest” about China “becoming the most significant, consequential nation in the world.”
