The first summit between US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

The two countries agreed to strengthen cooperation in the field of economic security and adopted the ‘Atlantic Declaration’.

President Biden did not hide his intention to keep China in check.

[조 바이든 / 미국 대통령 : 왜 우리가 중국에 기술 역량을 넘기지 않는지 중국 방문 때 시진핑 주석과 얘기한 적이 있습니다. 저는 아주 단순하게 우리 기술을 대량살상무기 개발과 정보 수집에 이용하기 때문이라고 답했습니다.]

Prime Minister Sunak also made it clear that there are challenges from China and Russia behind strengthening economic and security cooperation with the United States.

[리시 수낵 / 영국 총리 : 중국과 러시아는 우리의 개방성을 악용하고 우리의 지적 재산을 훔치고, 권위주의적 목적을 위해 기술을 사용하려 합니다. 그들은 성공하지 못할 것입니다.]

A U.S. Department of Defense official assessed that China’s risky behavior has skyrocketed over the past year and a half, with communication channels cut between China and the military.

Recently, the Chinese military’s fighter plane threat flight and ultra-close navigation in the Taiwan Strait have been criticized as very dangerous actions that can lead to crisis or conflict.

But the U.S. military has said it will never shrink from the Chinese threat.

[일라이 라트너 / 미 국방부 동아태 차관보 : 우리 행정부의 대응은 매우 분명하며, 중국 위협에 주눅 들거나 겁먹지 않을 것입니다. 앞으로도 안전한 방식으로 비행과 항행을 계속할 것입니다.]

He also explained that the U.S. is modernizing its nuclear forces and strengthening extended deterrence in preparation for China and North Korea’s nuclear arsenal.

A U.S. Department of Defense official said that it plans to continue sending nuclear strategic assets to the Korean Peninsula this year, presenting as examples of extended deterrence the ROK-U.S.
