Wide of members of Congress applauding in chamber2. Members of the military listening3. SOUNDBITE (English) Joe Biden, U.S. President: ++INCLUDES CUTAWAYS++"I am committed to work with China where it can advance American interests and benefit the world. But make no mistake about it: as we made clear last week, if China's threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. And we did. Look, let's be clear: winning the competition with China should unite all of us. We face serious challenges across the world. But in the past two years, democracies have become stronger, not weaker.  Autocracies have grown weaker, not stronger. Name me a world leader who would change places with Xi Jinping. Name me one. Name me one. America is rallying the world again to meet those challenges, from climate and global health, to food insecurity, to terrorism and territorial aggression. Allies are stepping up, spending more and doing more. Look, the bridges we are forming between partners in the Pacific and those in the Atlantic. And those who bet against America are learning just how wrong they are. It's never a good bet to bet against America. Never.4. Close-up US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stands and applauds5. Various members applauding6. Wide, members chant "USA, USA, USA"STORYLINE:President Joe Biden made a blink-and-you-might-miss-it reference to the suspected Chinese spy balloon that U.S. fighter jets shot down last week. He was talking in the State of the Union address about working with China in an effort to advance American interests. But make no mistake, he said, "as we made clear last week, if China's threatens our sovereignty, we will act to protect our country. And we did."The speech came days after Biden ordered the military to shoot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon that flew brazenly across the country, captivating the nation and serving as a reminder of tense relations between the two global powers.===========================================================Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com(ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
