After the visit of US Secretary of State Antony Blinken, which was seen as a ray of hope for US-China relations, a cold shower came on Tuesday evening: US President Joe Biden called China’s head of state Xi Jinping a “dictator”.
In February, the US military shot down a suspected Chinese spy balloon over the United States. Biden said at a fundraiser in San Francisco that Xi was upset at the time because he didn’t know where the balloon was when it was launched. The US President added: “It’s very embarrassing for dictators when they don’t know what happened.”
Beijing reacted very angrily to the US President’s statements. Biden has seriously violated the political dignity of the People’s Republic by calling Xi a dictator, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said in Beijing on Wednesday. This is tantamount to a public political provocation. China is very dissatisfied and rejects the statement.
