& laquo; I & nbsp; & mdash; delegation, and & nbsp; I figured out & nbsp; this (I & # 39; m the delegation, and I & nbsp; dealt with it) & raquo;, & nbsp; & mdash; Biden said, without & nbsp; clarifying the meaning of his statement.
Prior to that, speaking about the main problems in relations with China and, in particular, the situation around Taiwan, Biden said that the United States did not intend to change its policy towards Beijing in any way and break the “rules.”
Earlier in & nbsp; this day, the Washington Post newspaper with & nbsp; citing & nbsp; several sources reported & nbsp; the intention of the Biden administration in & nbsp; the near future to declare a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Olympics in & nbsp; Beijing. This means that & nbsp; neither the & nbsp; President nor & nbsp; any other officials from the & nbsp; US government will & nbsp; attend the & nbsp; Games in & nbsp; Beijing. It is assumed that & nbsp; Biden will approve this decision by the & nbsp; end of the month, sources in the & nbsp; administration note.
The last round of aggravation of relations between Beijing and & nbsp; Washington is associated with & nbsp; increased activity of Chinese troops in the & nbsp; Taiwan Strait. So, in early October, the Ministry of Defense of Taiwan reported a record number of cases of border crossing by Chinese planes. After that, Biden replied in the affirmative to the & nbsp; question whether the United States was ready & nbsp; whether & nbsp; to support Taiwan in the & nbsp; case of aggression from & nbsp; by China, but he also declared & nbsp; support for the principle of “ one China ''.
President of the People's Republic of China Xi & nbsp; Jinping, in & nbsp; in turn, indicated that & nbsp; countries should make every effort to ensure that the current tension in the & nbsp; Indo-Pacific region does not & nbsp; lead to & nbsp; a relapse of the Cold War mentality. According to & nbsp; his attempts to draw borders in the region along & nbsp; ideological or geopolitical lines will fail.
