Vowing to unite Americans that have been divided by the coronavirus, economic recession and racial problems, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden accepted nomination in a speech in Delaware. By mentioning China only once, Biden seemed not to jump into the trap set by President Trump in being tough against China, as China has never been the root of US domestic problems, observers said. 

Biden formally accepted the nomination on Thursday at the Chase Center in Delaware on the last day of the Democratic National Convention. Some US media described his speech as an opportunity to look at the Democratic nominee for the longest time and clearest view, as he has kept a low profile and attended relatively fewer public events. 

Biden started his speech by accusing Trump of cloaking America in darkness for too long with "too much anger," "too much fear," and "too much division." He said America faces the most difficult moment amid the worst pandemic in over 100 years, "the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression," and "the most compelling call for racial justice since the 60s."
