President Biden arrived Sunday in Vietnam to seal a “comprehensive strategic partnership,” while insisting his attempts to strengthen US relations with China’s neighbors are not coming at the expense of Beijing’s Communist government. “I don’t want to contain China,” Biden said during a news conference in Hanoi, Politico reports. “We’re not trying to hurt China.” The president was fresh from a G20 summit in India, another nation that borders China and is of strategic importance in countering its increasing aggression in the Indo-Pacific region, per the New York Times.
