President Joe Biden went after Russian President Vladimir Putin hard during his State of the Union address on Wednesday, but withheld harsh words for Chinese President Xi Jinping — whose goal is for China to supplant the United States as the world’s superpower and whose government was responsible for not controlling the coronavirus outbreak within its borders.
Despite spending a significant portion of his address on Putin and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Biden addressed China only once, in the context of touting the passage of bipartisan infrastructure legislation.
“I’ve told Xi Jinping it’s never been a good bet to bet against the American people,” he said.
He touted his clean energy agenda, and said pushed for the passage of another bill that he said would level the playing field with China and “other competitors.”
“That’s why it’s so important to pass the Bipartisan Innovation Act sitting in Congress that will make record investments in emerging technologies and American manufacturing. We used to invest almost two percent of our GDP in research and development. We don’t now. Can’t — China is,” he said.
Even CNN commentators noted the soft approach Biden took towards China.
CNN Senior Political Correspondent said during the cable network’s coverage of the address that Biden’s speech largely omitted China. “He did not mention China really tonight, which is surprising, given how important he views China in the big scheme of things, in terms of authoritarianism versus democracies,” Phillips said.

China will continue to place their stones on the geopolitical Go board very thoughtfully.
With Russia being reduced to economic dependence on China, Europe going into a energy-shock depression, and America going into stagflation, China continues its relative ascent.
