Mentioned at the event about shooting down a reconnaissance balloon
China “Provocates Political Dignity”
Archyde.com reported on the 20th (local time) that US President Joe Biden (pictured) referred to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a “dictator” in public. This remark came amid rising expectations for a face-to-face meeting between President Biden and President Xi due to US Secretary of State Tony Blincoln’s visit to China.
President Biden said at a fundraising event held in California that day, “The reason President Xi was very upset when he shot down a Chinese reconnaissance balloon that entered US airspace was because he didn’t know it was there.” It is embarrassing for me.” “It (the balloon) was not supposed to go there,” he added. “It was blown off course.” Although President Biden did not pick up President Xi and express it as a ‘dictator’, he actually compared President Xi to a dictator while using the expression ‘dictators’ in the process of explaining the situation President Xi was in. AFP reported that President Biden identified President Xi with dictators.
President Biden’s remarks came the day after Secretary Blincoln visited China and met with President Xi. With Minister Blincoln’s visit to China, the relationship between the two countries entered a thawing mode, and the possibility of holding a summit meeting was greatly increased. During the Asian Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in San Francisco in November, there were observations that the atmosphere would be ripe for a US-China summit.
Minister Blincoln, who is visiting the UK, was asked by ABC whether a face-to-face summit between the US and China will take place within a few months, saying, “In the coming weeks and months, we will see more high-level contacts and involvement.” There is no substitute. It is important that leaders have direct contact,” he said.
Speaking at a regular briefing on the 21st, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said, “It is very absurd and irresponsible, it is in serious violation of basic facts and diplomatic etiquette, it is a serious violation of China’s political dignity, and it is an open political provocation. ” and then expressed “strong dissatisfaction” and “resolute opposition”.
