Biden opens another crisis with China by describing Xi Jinping as a dictator at a campaign fundraiser

Government of China marked this Wednesday as “ridiculous” statements by the president NOW, Joe Bidenin which he described his Chinese counterpart as “dictator» and pointed out that it was a «political provocation», just two days after US Secretary of State Antony Blinken visited Beijing to improve the strained bilateral relations between the two countries.

“The claims of the United States are utterly ridiculous and irresponsible. They seriously violate the basic facts, diplomatic protocols and political dignity of China,” condemned Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, who accused the version given by Biden about last year’s downing of the Chinese balloon in the US. airspace.

He emphasized that the incident was “very clear” and emphasized that “it was a random event caused by force majeure”. “The United States should have conducted it calmly, rationally and professionally,” he assessed, asserting that Washington “distorted the facts, abused force and emphasized the situation, which shows its hegemonic nature.”

Mao’s reaction comes hours after Biden noted during a fundraising event in California that Xi had gotten “very angry” over knock down the balloon, who was carrying “two boxes full of espionage equipment he didn’t know were there.” “It was great shame of the dictatorwhen they didn’t know what happened,” Biden said, adding that the Chinese president “felt very embarrassed” after the demolition.

“Now we are in a situation where he (Xi) wants to be in a relationship again. Antony Blinken was just there, he did a good job and it will take time,” he said, after Blinken visited the Asian giant where he met with Xi and his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang; and Xi’s top foreign policy adviser, Wang Yi .

Indeed, Biden said on Saturday that he hoped to meet with Xi in the coming months, noting that Chinese leaders did not appear to be privy to the details of the Chinese hot air balloon that was shot down over the United States in February. “China has some legitimate difficulties that have nothing to do with the United States,” he concluded.
