U.S. President Joe Biden addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday about a broad range of issues. He deserves praise for committing his country to the international community's efforts to combat climate change and COVID-19.
These were the high marks of speech, but unfortunately, he sullied all of that by lying to everyone when he said that the U.S. doesn't want a new Cold War. The reality is that the U.S. is already in a new Cold War with China characterized by an intense hybrid warfare campaign against it.
Biden claims that the U.S. will cooperate with any country that shares America's supposedly peaceful intentions, but that isn't true when it comes to China. Not only has he aggressively sought to contain the country through a wide range of means stretching from the economic to the military and even informational, but the American leader has also meddled in China's internal affairs.
No clearer evidence of this exists than him exploiting that global podium to attack China for its counterterrorism and deradicalization measures in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
According to him, these measures represent the "oppression" of a minority group. He also alluded to that twice earlier in his speech when he warned about emerging technologies being used to deepen repression, especially against minorities.
The U.S. has accused China of such deeds for several years, each time without a sliver of evidence of it using its world-class technological systems to oppress the Uygurs, which isn't true at all but nevertheless has become one of the leading mainstream media narratives for discrediting China.
