[뉴욕=뉴스핌]Correspondent Kim Geun-cheol = The US White House urges US President Joe Biden to advance bilateral relations and continue to exercise influence over North Korea despite China’s objection to US President Joe Biden’s calling of Chinese President Xi Jinping a “dictator” on the 23rd (local time). said he was doing
White House National Security Council (NSC) Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby said at a briefing that day, saying that he thought that President Biden’s mention of a dictator would not adversely affect US-China relations, Archyde.com and other foreign media reported.
He introduced that the US and Chinese governments are still talking regarding advancing bilateral relations and seeking China’s involvement.
Regarding concerns that China may not exercise its influence on North Korea, which the United States has requested, in particular, in protest of President Biden’s remarks, Kirby said, “We know that Beijing authorities have influence over Pyongyang, and we will continue to give them their influence. I have urged you to use it,” he said. “We are urging them to implement UN Security Council sanctions and take a broader, longer-term view.”

He also stressed that the threat posed by North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs poses a threat to all other countries, including China.
President Biden also said that calling President Xi a dictator on the 22nd did not seem to affect relations with China, and said he expected to meet President Xi in the near future.
At a press conference held following a summit with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the White House that day, he insisted that meeting with other foreign leaders would not change the facts and that his remarks “did not damage” US-China relations.
Then, although there were some confusing things in US-China relations, Secretary of State Tony Blincoln, who met with President Xi and Foreign Minister Qin Gang in Beijing last weekend, evaluated that his visit to China was excellent.
President Biden said at an event on the 20th that President Xi was not properly aware of the Chinese reconnaissance balloon and the downing, saying, “It is a great embarrassment for dictators not knowing what happened.”
In response, the Chinese government strongly protested, calling it an “open political provocation,” and warned that the lack of appropriate action by the US government would hinder the improvement of US-China relations and future cooperation.
