Nikki Haley says Biden doesn't criticize China by sharing clip from
news conference where the president ripped into Xi Jinping
Nikki Haley on Thursday accused President Joe Biden of being weak on China by sharing a selectively edited clip from his first news conference as commander-in-chief, in which the president bashed Chinese leader Xi Jinping for not having a democratic "bone in his body."
The president explicitly vowed to confront Beijing on an array of issues while working to derail its goal of becoming the world's most powerful country.
Biden's policy toward China has not veered drastically from former President Donald Trump's, though he's taken a less belligerent tone toward Beijing. Biden, for example, has kept Trump-era tariffs on China in place.
Biden's administration has also made it a top priority to challenge China on the global stage on issues like human rights and trade, as the president underscored during Thursday's news conference.
"They have an overall goal to become the leading country in the world, the wealthiest country in the world, and the most powerful country in the world. That's not gonna happen on my watch," Biden said.
"This is a battle between the utility of democracies in the 21st century and autocracies," he added. "We have to prove that democracy works."
The president also said he told Xi that "as long as you and your country continue to so blatantly violate human rights, we are going to continue in an unrelenting way to call it to the attention of the world, and make it clear, make it clear, what's happening. And he understood that."

Republicans like Haley have frequently sought to paint Biden as soft on China, even as he's made competing with Beijing a top priority.

Biden tells Johnson they should build massive global
infrastructure plan to rival China
Joe Biden said he suggested to Boris Johnson in a phone call on Friday that they should have a massive infrastructure plan to rival China's Belt and Road initiative.
The US president, in his second call with the British Prime Minister since taking office, said he was concerned that Beijing's project would significantly expand its economic and political influence.
"I suggested we should have, essentially, a similar initiative, pulling from the democratic states, helping those communities around the world that, in fact, need help," Mr Biden told reporters.
China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a multi-trillion-dollar infrastructure scheme launched in 2013 by President Xi Jinping involving development and investment initiatives that would stretch from East Asia to Europe.
