US President Joe Biden announced on the 22nd that his comments referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping as a dictator would not affect US-China relations.
President Biden said at a joint conference with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House that day, “No” to the question of whether the remark that President Xi was a dictator weakened or complicated the progress made by the US government in US-China relations. I answered firmly.
President Biden went on to explain, “When the United States has conversations with allies and partners around the world, it does not change what we consider to be the facts regarding our relationship with India or China.”
It is not wrong to talk regarding the ‘fact’ that China’s political system is in fact close to dictatorship, and it is interpreted to mean that this remark will not adversely affect the relationship between the two countries.
President Biden added, “I don’t think that his remarks “actually led to any results,” and added, “I expect to meet with President Xi in the near future.”
In addition, he emphasized, “There were things that caused some confusion in US-China relations, but Secretary of State Tony Blincoln did a great job visiting China.”
■ Mentioned in the description of the reconnaissance balloon avalanche
President Biden referred to President Xi as a ‘dictator’ at a fundraiser held in California on the 20th.
Describing the Chinese reconnaissance balloon crisis, “Xi Jinping was very upset when I shot down a balloon with two cars’ worth of spy equipment because he didn’t know it was there,” he said. It’s embarrassing,” he said.
I did not directly point out President Xi and call him a ‘dictator’, but in the process of explaining President Xi’s situation at the time, I used the expression ‘dictators’ in general, and as a result, President Xi was called a dictator.

■ China “serious protest”
Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in the United States said in a statement on the 22nd that the Chinese ambassador to the United States, Shepeng, had raised “serious protests and strong objections” to President Biden’s remarks to senior officials at the White House and State Department the day before (21st).
