Outgoing US President Joe Biden said Monday the United States would remain the world’s predominant superpower and that China would “never surpass us.”
“According to the latest predictions, on China’s current course they will never surpass us — period,” Biden said in a farewell speech to diplomats, adding Washington has “responsibly” managed its complex ties with Beijing and that the relationship “never tipped over into conflict” in his four years as president.
