I'm sure Xi is beyond having his feelings hurt by Biden, but just look at Bilken's reaction lmao.

Inviting a head of state to your country to publicly insult them is unacceptable anywhere, so this is only going to further tarnish the shitty reputation of American diplomacy.

Biden's reason doesn't even make any sense

Well you see here jack he's the leader of a country with a totally different style of government than ours

Barely even paraphrasing lmfao this guy's brain is swiss cheese

Ehh it kinda makes sense if you agree with the idea that liberals view any deviation from Western liberalism as ontologically wrong and evil. Just jarring to see it said out loud in a diplomatic setting.

I agree but just because the quiet part is said out loud doesn't make it make any more sense lol

We are moving backwards from "Capitalism is a necessary evil because of human nature" to "Capitalism is the only good form of economy".

Agreed. The swiss cheese holes have gotten to the tact and inhibition parts of his brain.

Seriously. Biden just outwardly saying his definition of dictator is 'leader not in exactly the same way as us' is really weird.

hitting the dog whistle and then breaking out websters dictionary

Look, he is. He's a dictator in the sense that he's a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that's based on a form of government totally different than ours,

May as well give the quote. Seems like, insofar as it has substance, it just circles back around to gommulism bad

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

Gommunism bad. Being different bad.

Fukuyama end of history bullshit.
