John Kerry refuses to call China’s Xi Jinping a ‘dictator’
NY Post ^ | 07/14/2023 | Victor Nava

President Biden’s climate envoy John Kerry broke with the commander-in-chief on Thursday and refused to refer to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “dictator” during a hearing on Capitol Hill.

“There’s no question at all that President Xi is the major decider of the direction and of the policies of China,” Kerry, 79, told members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee’s oversight and responsibility subcommittee.

When pressed by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), who asked Kerry if Xi was “in fact, effectively a dictator,” the former Secretary of State stammered and said that it wouldn’t be “useful” to say that.

“​​He wields enormous power as the leader of China. Absolutely,” Kerry acknowledged.

I was thinking “his patron “, but at this point “his master” is probably more correct.

To learn who rules you, find out who you can’t criticize.

Kerry pretty much matches the first three letters of that noun.

Kerry has been a traitor to the U.S. for half a century.

Even Leonardo Di Vinci worked for Caesar Borgia. Sometimes you must serve vile masters. But we must always remember who he bows his head—ans treat him accordingly.

Every once in a while I see a thread about Kerry and I get inspired to name drop.

My wifes great uncle was J.H. Heinz. Yes, we are distantly related to them. We’re famous! (Don’t tell anyone).

Well, Xi really isn’t a dictator anyway. He does have enormous power as the leader of the CCP, but if he does something they don’t like, he’ll be dropped quick. China is more of an oligarchy, and he’s just the main figurehead at the top. Not truly a dictator by definition.
