There is no need for a US-Sino confrontation, and what is between Washington and Beijing isa  technological and economic competition, US President Joe Biden said Friday, explaining that his country has no intention of having a confrontation with China.

Biden told reporters that he had informed his Chinese counterpart Xi Xinping that the two nations did not need direct confrontation, explaining that it was undeniable that they have an economic and technological competition.

The United States is ready to help other countries, Biden added, including China, to engage in this type of competition and avoid tensions.

The US president's words come in light of rising tensions between Beijing and Washington over the Taiwan strait and China's security concerns in the region as Washington and the West continuously violate the sovereignty of the South China Sea.

US President Joe Biden had previously insisted he was not concerned about the possibility of an armed conflict with China.

Biden and Xi had held a summit in December in light of the soaring tensions, and they discussed the situation over Taiwan and the possibility of a new cold war. The two leaders also touched on various states, such as Iran, North Korea, and Afghanistan, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ahead of the summit, Washington announced a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics held between February 4-20, citing "human rights abuses", due to what it called the "ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity,"  in a move that will not stop US athletes from competing.

Chinese Ambassador to Russia, Zhang Hanhui said the US was doomed to fail in its endeavors to boycott the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022, just as they had in the Sochi 2014 Russian-held Olympics.
