Biden says US faces battle to 'prove democracy works'
CNN
President Joe Biden cast challenges to the US from China, Russia and global shifts in stark terms Thursday, describing "a battle between the utility of democracies in the 21st century and autocracies."
The President underscored that the United States faces an unprecedented array of tests, with Beijing posing what might be the trickiest strategic challenge of all. As global freedoms ebb, groundbreaking technological shifts are disrupting economies and climate change is posing an existential threat, all while Moscow continues challenging the West and an increasingly aggressive Beijing seeks to become -- in Biden's words Thursday -- "the most powerful country in the world."More Related News
