President Biden addressed China "without saying 'China'" during his speech at the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, stressing the United States' desire to avoid a "new Cold War."

Biden delivered his remarks to world leaders at the U.N. assembly, calling for collective action to end the COVID-19 pandemic and saying the world is at an "inflection point in history." He also said that it's important for world powers to "carefully manage their relationships so they do not tip from responsible competition to conflict."
