Ambassador Xie told US officials that the US must take serious action to undo the negative impact of President Biden’s remarks or risk any consequences.
The Chinese embassy also said that “recent irresponsible remarks regarding China’s political system and its supreme leader” forced it to call into question the sincerity of the stability the US is seeking.
He added that the Chinese government and people will not tolerate any political provocations once morest China’s supreme leader and will respond sternly.
