On November 15 2023, President Biden had a meeting with President Xi Jinping in San Francisco. The media is saying it was based on firming up China's relations with American businesses. ( Xi also said he is planning to send some panda bears to an American zoo. ) Do any of you folks believe that is the real reason? I was thinking the reason they met was to help ease the political tension between the the US and China. I'm happy to see them talking to each other, whatever the reason is.
Biden wanted a photo op with Xi to make him look competent and lucid. He gets to say, “See, I’m doing something about the fentanyl crisis and the tensions with China.” He actually did nothing about those problems because Xi can’t be trusted. Furthermore, Biden placed climate change at the head of his list, as usual. He pushes alternative energy sources when technology is not there, and makes deals with China, which is the world’s largest carbon emitter, which will not be kept. In the mean time Biden’s policies hurt the U.S. economy.
Yeah, "to help ease tensions", etc. And within a couple of days of this big meeting, China was sending 53 of its warplanes far inside Taiwan's Air Defense Zone, just for the fun of it! Was that Xi's way saying "**** you, Joe" after Joe Biden blithely called Xi a "dictator" only the day before? People like to criticize Trump for not keeping his mouth shut at important times, but there's no doubt that the same damned thing goes for Biden, too. Tomorrow, Geriatric Joe will be 81 years old, and surely by now he ought to know better by now....
Yes, but the American Oligarchs are out to get Trump and don't feel challenged by Bidden (who does as he is bidden).
I didn't watch it but I am told that a reporter asked him if he still calls xi a dictator and asked Joe Biden why and evidently Biden answer because he controls the country... I wonder if the irony dawned on him at any point?
I'm sure the topics were varied. But this is something that just has to happen periodically, and does. Americans wish China would just go away, but it's not going to happen. Even with all their deceit, and probably ours as well, this is still better than it could be. If China over takes the US as the largest economy, and that doesn't cause a war, it will be a global first. I wish the US would do this that and the other, but neither of us is better off, without the other, for better or for worse. Our trade has prevented a cold war, and likely will continue to do so.
