Didn’t bother to look how he called Xi a dictator before, Biden was even more based than I thought lmao
“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 was the great embarrassment for dictators, when they didn’t know what happened.”
China just handing out free positive JoeBo press with this one lol
I mean he didn’t shoot it down, he had it shot down. It’s the first A2A kill of the F-22, he could at least acknowledge it.
He’s on point with foreign policy for now. Humiliating world leaders is never not good.
I get the hype for what he said, but realistically

No, it’s not a good thing in the long term. Diplomacy is a must, shouldn’t push others away, especially China.
Yeah, I was a bit of an edgelord there.
Ah, fair fair. I can relate.
“… and anyone who call him that will be sent to re-education camp”
“I’m not a dictator, we hold regular elections and the reason that the communist party is the only one on the bill because we’re right about everything and everyone agrees.”
Technically they do have other parties, they’re just completely powerless: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_China
You’re de facto correct though.
Oh, bother. ;)

This is a summary of the posted article (I’m a bot).
U.S. President Joe Biden has likened Chinese President Xi Jinping to a dictator. China calls the comments “blatant political provocation” The row is likely to complicate efforts to improve already strained Sino-American relations. The U.S.-China summit is aimed at easing tensions between the two superpowers. The summit is expected to last until the end of the month. The meeting will be the first between the presidents of China and the United States since 2008. The two countries have a long-standing friendship.
China is state most dangerous to its own citizens’ civil rights, report finds
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI), a New Zealand-based project, has been monitoring various countries’ human rights performance since 2017.
HRMI concluded that on several measures China was the country in the world with the worst human rights record. On freedom from arbitrary arrest, only Kazakhstan scored worse.
What else than a dictatorship is a state “most dangerous to its own citizens”?
A theocracy, I’d reckon. But it’s more or less the same for China, since they ascended Mao to godhood.
