U.S. President Joe Biden said Thursday that the Group of Seven major industrialized democracies should engage with China based on "shared principles." Delivering a commencement speech to Air Force Academy graduates in Colorado, Biden said the United States is prepared for "vigorous competition" with China and will stand up for its interests, but Washington does not seek "conflict or confrontation" with Beijing. He said the United States should work together with China where it can to tackle global challenges such as climate change, while noting that coordination among the G-7 will help to minimize threats to national security and boost resistance to so-called economic coercion from the Asian power.
