 Blinken says China’s goal is to dominate the world, but Biden admin’s purpose ‘not to contain China’

In an interview with CBS’ 60 Minutes that aired Sunday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said China’s goal is to become the “dominant country in the world” and that President Joe Biden’s administration’s purpose is not to “contain” China, but to instead uphold a so-called “rules-based order” and keep China from undermining it.

In the interview, Blinken described China as “the one country in the world that has the military, economic, diplomatic capacity to undermine or challenge the rules-based order that we, we care so much about and are determined to defend.” Blinken then added, “But I want to be very clear about something, and this is important. Our purpose is not to contain China, to hold it back, to keep it down. It is to uphold this rules-based order that China is posing a challenge to. Anyone who poses a challenge to that order, we’re going to stand up and defend it.”

If the goal isn't to contain them, then it must be to join them.  Nice job, Joe. :truce:
