US President Joe Biden confirmed in an interview broadcast Sunday that the rivalry between the United States and China will take the form of "extreme competition", with his assertion that he wants to avoid any "conflict" between the two largest economic powers.
Biden said he had not yet spoken to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, noting that there was "no reason not to contact him," but added, according to excerpts from the interview shown by CBS, "It (something) is very cruel. There is no iota of democracy in his person, I do not say this out of criticism, it is only the truth. "
