The US is not looking for a conflict with China and intends to deal responsibly with the issue of the countries’ competition, a senior US administration official said.
“I would like to emphasise that we are in a state of competition with China, but we are not looking for conflict, confrontation or cold war with it,” RIA Novosti quoted the representative as saying.
He noted that the US is responsible in managing this competition.
Earlier, US leader Joe Biden extended the state of emergency in the country, which was imposed because of the threat to national security from investments in the Chinese economy.
