That’s why they’re not merely internal matters and why we feel an obligation to raise these issues here today.”
National security adviser Jake Sullivan said that he had; “concerns” with China’s “economic and military coercion to assaults on basic values,” but said that they “do not seek conflict, but we welcome stiff competition and we will always stand up for our principles, for our people, and for our friends.” The Daily wire pointed out.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria V. Zakharova clapped back at the statements hard saying: “In order to analyze what needs to be done in the context of relations with the United States, there hasn’t been anything like this in history, these are very bad statements by the president of the United States. He definitely does not want to improve relations with us, and we will continue to proceed from this,” Peskov said.
Foreign Affairs head, Konstantin I. Kosachev, said “This is a watershed moment,” “Any expectations for the new U.S. administration’s new policy toward Russia have been written off by this boorish statement.” “if explanations and apologies do not follow from the American side.”
