Another Joe Biden gaffe of huge proportions

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken returns from a much-delayed and super-sensitive visit to China where he sat down with President Xi Zinping and discussed getting on better. He didn't get everything he wanted. Xi still isn't ready to renew military-to-military communications but on the whole the talks were amicable and productive and Blinken seemed pleased. BUT the first opportunity Joe Biden has to talk about China he refers to Xi as a dictator. The mind boggles. Why would he say that within hours of his secretary of state returning from Beijing? I mean Biden is right about Xi, he is effectively a dictator but he WAS elected by the Communist Party apparatus to remain as president for a third term. So for the president of the United States to describe the president of the People's Republic of China as a dictator is hardly going to help in warming relations and must have seriously p....d off Blinken. It was one of those famous throwaway remarks by Biden. He also claimed that Xi didn't know one of his spy balloons had been sent to hover over sensitive military sites in the US in February. How does he know that Xi didn't know? Has Biden given away a piece of secret intelligence? The latest gaffe from the man who wants to be president until 2028 doesn't bode very well for his election campaign.
