Biden calls Xi a 'dictator,' fueling Chinese anger
NBC news ^ | 6/20/2023 | Phil McCausland

“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there,” Biden said.

“That’s a great embarrassment for dictators,” he added, “when they didn’t know what happened.”

The riposte from Beijing was swift.

Mao Ning, a spokesman for China's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that Biden's comments were "extremely absurd and irresponsible, seriously contradicting the basic facts." He accused the president of "seriously violating diplomatic protocol and seriously infringing on China’s political dignity, which is an open political provocation."

Accidental spying? Is that what Brandon is going with? He didn’t know, either. Meanwhile, he is trying to imprison political opponents.

If Xi Jinping is angry over being called a dictator, imagine how mortified Xiden must be over what patriotic Americans call him!

(or maybe his minders just never tell him)

I blame the Chinese in this matter. They have it all wrong. Biden meant it as a compliment. He’s envious.

Xi could call Biden a “dictator”, and arouse not one bit of animosity from perhaps a defining majority of the American people. Every definition fits, from illegitimate ascent to office, to lack of accountability, to ruthless and meaningless abuses of power, even to the refusal to deal with “lesser” entities for redress of wrongs.

“Tone deaf” is not the only characteristic of the Biden regime.

The Chicoms shouldn’t be mad.

, Biden is jealous. He considers “dictator” a compliment.

This is called Democrat diplomacy. Xi is a dictator. Putin is a dictator. It's not a matter of whether they are or not, but a matter of insulting a counter-party in the very large venue of geopolitics. Democrats are becoming idiots. Heck, even MAGA is domestic terrorism to them.

I told a Democrat acquaintance the other day that we were "done" after he thought insulting me was some kind of winning strategy. Won't be seeing him again. I expect that little vignette will be played out on very big world stages.

When American foreign policy says .... "you're a dictator" and "can we talk?"

True. A Democrat assumes that our values are universal.

With respect, I make a small edit. A Democrat assumes that THEIR values are universal.

When we lived in Germany, In constantly heard and read about EU values. Always asserted; never defined.

Only President Bribery would think you could shoot down a balloon with two boxcar loads of spy equipment.

“No one here at FR should be surprised by ANY of this. There is no justice in this country right now, the USA is a banana republic and one step away from a dictatorship.”

For 27 seconds on Tuesday night, Fox News posted a chyiron beneath a video of President Biden: “Wannabe dictator speaks at the White House after having his political rival arrested.”

That sparked a media uproar over what was portrayed as the biggest breach of decorum since the 1865 assassination of President Lincoln at Ford’s Theater.
