Biden's Summit with Xi: A Delicate Truce

During a summit meeting between U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Biden reiterated his view that Xi is a dictator, citing China's communist government as the basis for his statement. China's foreign ministry responded by strongly opposing Biden's remarks, calling them "extremely wrong and irresponsible political manipulation." Despite the disagreement, the two leaders engaged in extensive talks aimed at improving strained relations. This is not the first time Biden has referred to Xi as a dictator, with China previously dismissing such comments as absurd and provocative.
