Under the leadership of President Joe Biden, the United States remains committed to strategic partnerships and alliances. This is also happening in Asia, limiting China’s power and influence in the region. China condemns that tactic. It accuses the US of trying to destabilize the region. The country keeps talking about “Asian NATO”.
Biden previously pointed out that alliances with countries in Asia are “ironclad.” He even called the friendship with Japan “unbreakable”. Yet he caused a minor diplomatic storm with a recent comment.
The president spoke about immigration during a major fundraising speech for his campaign. Biden hinted that the upcoming elections will be about “freedom, America and democracy.”
“Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Biden clarified. “Think about it. Why is the Chinese economy stagnating? Why is Japan having such a hard time? Or Russia? Or India? They don’t want immigrants because they’re foreigners.”
The White House quickly qualified the comments. “Our allies know that President Biden values their friendship and cooperation,” said National Security Council spokesman John Kirby. “They understand how important he is to the idea of alliances and partnerships.”
