WASHINGTON: Nomination of President Joe Biden to become the US Ambassador, Nicholas caught fire, taking hard lines to deal with China at hearing the Senate confirmation on Wednesday, by saying “genocide in Xinjiang,” Tibet’s violation must stop.
Burns said China was “blowing up the past” promise to maintain only minimum nuclear prevention, adding Washington to work with allies in Europe and elsewhere to push back trade and support the US business.
Human rights advocates and the US government have mentioned Chinese medicine against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang region “Genocide,” a characterization denied China.
Burns, 65, a career diplomat and former Ambassador to NATO, also said Washington was right in following the current “Chinese” policy in Taiwan, but also the right to oppose the actions of Beijing which damaged the status quo.
Some lawmakers, including some Biden Democrats, have called for Washington to review decades’ short policies, who do not take the position of Taiwan’s sovereignty.
Burns said the Chinese military threat to Taiwan grew, but it maintained China’s policy was the smartest and most effective way to prevent China from imposing its own ruled forces.
“This is a successful policy if we execute consistently and with strength,” Burns told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, adding that the most important prevention was for the United States to maintain its military position at the Indo-Pacific.
Burns are expected to be able to easily win confirmation, win praise from members of both parties.
“This, I think, right that the Bakar Ambassador was appointed for this position,” said Senator Jim Risch, the Republic of the Committee.
Burns was also discussed at that time his view that China was relatively isolated internationally.
“The Chinese becomes very aggressive, they have caused a lot of opposition to them.
And I think we should not overestimate their strength, or underestimate the strength of the United States,” Burns said.
Burns also said Beijing had “striking” the world about the origin of Coronavirus.
“We need to investigate.
We don’t know how this virus is certain, there are several Chinese theories and needs to answer questions,” Burns said.
Burns said that unlike during the Cold War, US competition with China would revolve around economic and technology, not the military.
He said the United States was right to hold Beijing against the commitment of trade trading trade “phase one”, and urged Congress to pass the Law related to China which was intended to fund US domestic competitiveness in critical sectors, such as semiconductors.
“This might be the most important thing we can do – is to invest in our future technology, because the Senate does with your strategic innovation bill, which is owned by administration very strongly.
And I also said,” Burns said.
He was asked about the winter Olympics in Beijing in February, without directly handling several calls to boycott the game of human rights issues.
Burns said that because of Covid China’s restrictions, the Olympics tended to become the “most unusual game ever” in some foreigners expected.
“We clearly want to make sure that American athletes …
can talk their minds, can have access to the media, to say what they want to say, because they come from democratic countries.
And I hope and believe that the International Olympic Committee will allow That, “Burns said.
