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.
