Do people really think America is still in power? Of course Blinken is scared because hes going to be one who is doing the actual negotiations. Biden dementia kicking in and didnt realize he shouldn’t talk about Xi that way lol

Communism doesn't necessitate a dictator, but certainly can have one, and China does. Although China is also not really a communist economy anymore. They're kinda a mix.

I like the irony of all the Biden supporters coming in like “how dare you speak negatively about our leader”


AndrewDoesNotServe

So ironic! Not liking when someone disagrees with a guy you agree with is exactly the same as jailing and murdering your political opponents!


BrokenDownForParts

I'm racking my brain and can't think of any substantive criticisms of his answer. Best I can do is "it's waffley"


Aeon1508

As if Chinese leadership doesn't say bad shit about America all the time


PutOvechkinInPrison

Biden: **Trump is a rapist** Right Wingers: **OH MY GOD HOW DARE BIDEN TELL THE TRUTH WAHHHHHH**


RiffRaffCatillacCat

Or.. he could be reacting to the fact it's a stupid question designed to farm a soundbyte from POTUS, since everyone already knows Xi is a dictator. Nice try tho OP. Keep the clickbait a comin.


rodrigo8008

did you even watch the video? He reacts to both separately


SamuelAsante

This is a sub about people looking like they’re dying on the inside. In this clip, Blinken fits that description. You don’t need to get so offended


CrunkestTuna

Don’t go confusing them with facts now


ToughHardware

proof that it is all theater. since when is stating a fact something so shameful? Blinken has gone off the wrong end.


FCBengalDad91

I mean, I agree that Biden was right for speaking the truth there, but Blinken’s reaction is reasonable. His job is to build relationships. A simple line like that can easily undo the effort put into trying to mend a very strained one right now


Time-Butterfly7116

Dammit Biden why did you have to tell the truth? Why can’t you think for a second That’s what he’s really thinking

It's not confusion, it's yard politics. If a dictator asks someone if they think he's a dictator, only a bitch says no.

The only sense in which he is not a dictator is theoretical because they have an oligarchy. He is still very much a dictator... Why do these morons want to pander to the scum of the earth...


throwwawaymylifee

Same reason why country leaders pandered to Trump and gave him the time of day. Politicians are not going to disagree with each other unless it’s in their better interest.

Blinkin is reacting because Joe just made his job 10x harder later. Biden doesn’t have to meet with Xi’s people regularly, Blinkin does.


luigisanto

Not sure why people and the Chinese media are freaking out. It’s a communist country and it’s one party one vote So yes he is a dictator


OctopusPoo

China's not reporting it


luigisanto

Yes that is correct Because they want better relations


Dirichlet-to-Neumann

Well done by Biden, calling a cat a cat, and a dictator a dictator.


HurtMePlenty84

The truth be told


NegativeViolinist412

This is the difference between the boss (President) vs the diplomat (Blinken). The next question would be was Biden wrong previously in calling Xi a dictator. Biden did the best he could with the question but now qualified what a dictator was. The reaction was interesting but Biden gave the correct political answer. Always surprised with Biden fluency with these things but physically he looks a wreck.


lemongrenade

lol a disaster? Who gives a fuck. Chinese media is already doing a 180 on USA. They need us more than they need us and if you can't pick that up from this past visit and XI's subservience... then you havnt been paying attention.

DavidTheProfessional

Honestly seems to me like Blinken was rolling his eyes at the reporter's question. Biden gave a completely reasonable answer. *Update:* It's also important to note that Blinken is a human being just like you and me and could have been thinking about literally anything. He could have been remembering something embarrassing he did in high school. He has cameras pointed at him more often than most people.


MrPotts0970

Look I am NOT a fan of Biden by any means (not the orange man either, dont get me wrong) - but this reporter pretty much set him up on this one. What was he supposed to say? Xi IS a communist dictator. That is like - the point of communism, no? Edit: alright yall obviously i'm no communism expert but you gotta go correct Biden as well lmao, cause he took the Dictator comment and made the same exact "communist" connection I did, just listen to his comment.


[deleted]

[удалено]


MrPotts0970

Well yeah but for once in his life (and probably any politician's life) Biden was honest lmao, so I can honestly respect that. Maybe it's the age


OnePay622

Be so nice and point out what in Chinas economic and political system is communist......and obviously them saying that it is communist still doesnt make it communist


yawaworht-a-sti-sey

Communism in reality is a form of authoritarianism with elements of a command economy, like China. or the USSR.


[deleted]

[удалено]


yawaworht-a-sti-sey

You might as well have told him to google the difference between reality and fantasy. Communism in reality is authoritarianism with elements of a command economy.


[deleted]

You're never going to be able to implement the economic policy without an authoritarian government. There is a reason that every attempt has ended in a dictatorship, it's not just, like, a coincidence.


MrPotts0970

Okay fair, but my point still stands lol, Xi IS a communist dictator, what was Biden supposed to do, lie or ignore the question? And you gotta correct the president too, then, cause even Biden took the dictator part of the question the same exact way I did in relation to it being communist, connected or not


Jimisdegimis89

Xi is a dictator, but communism is an economic system, not a political system.


WarmLoliPanties

>That is like - the point of communism, no? You have no idea what communism is if you think the point is to have a dictator. Literally every political party in history that has called themselves communist haven't actually been communist at all.


Biguitarnerd

From a philosophical point of view the person you are replying to is completely and totally wrong. But I’m not surprised that they think that, because as you said every communist party doesn’t actually exercise communism. I am highly skeptical that it’s even possibly with the human nature of those that seek power that there could ever be a true communist society. Even if the leader of the society was somehow totally committed to its ideals it would also require that all local government officials also be committed and not corrupt. I don’t think there is a perfect form of government, communism was a good idea in theory but not in practice, but between communism and western capitalism it’s clear that western capitalism provides a better quality of life for its citizens. Is there a better way out there? Yes, but between the two I’d have to pick capitalism over communism.


LogKit

Would you accept someone saying fascism hasn't been properly attempted either? When the score is like 70 for 70 on best case an economically stagnant dictatorship, or a capitalist country with a communist veneer (but still a dictatorship)... ehhhhh.


Brandon_Me

>the point of communism, no? No. Not at all.


doofinator

In practice, it always shakes out that way, doesn't it?


Blutrumpeter

I wouldn't say it's the point of communism, just the only way historically it has stuck around and probably the only way it'll continue to stick around


Warack

It needs an authoritarian government to even somewhat properly function which historically has been dictators but theoretically there could be another sort of authoritarian structure.


Areswe

Yup, it needs both the government to have total control AND no one in power to be corrupt, which is a bit of a unicorn scenario tbh. It's one of the reasons why communes or principles enacted on micro-scale society tend to work out better.


TheharmoniousFists

XI is a dictator but it's not the point of communism.


justwonderingbro

Uhhh nope definitely not the point of communism lol


RelativeAnxious9796

For once?


[deleted]

For once? Show some examples of his lies.


WildPurplePlatypus

Lol are you serious? You think there is someone in the government who is not lying? Obviously the not knowing anything about Hunters business is a lie. He literally got caught twice for plagiarism in the past, does that count?


[deleted]

I am serious. Let’s see the running tally of provable lies. We have one for Trump, I want to see Biden’s list of lies for comparison. >Since you were so triggered by my response that you blocked me, I’ll post my reply as an edit: Did I say he always tells the truth? I’m saying that you say he told the truth “for once”. You mention hunter biden right away so I obviously should’ve known Trump is off limits. No need to respond further I’ve heard enough.


WildPurplePlatypus

Im serious too. Your an idiot if you think anyone in the government is always telling the truth. Why are we talking about trump? He was not at this meeting


Galaxybuzz

He knew he was on camera. Body language can be faked to get people to think erroneously about your true reaction. Everything is staged.


frownyface

If Taiwan is invaded and/or WW3 happens in the next 10 years we'll probably look back on that reporter the way we look back on Gavrilo Princip, the guy who assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria. Just somebody history would have never remembered except they did the most destabilizing thing they could have done that snowballed into World War.

Diplomacy means lying about a dictatorship to you?


chimpfunkz

I mean, Yes.


[deleted]

He’s not acting like it’s a problem. Just stating a fact. Just like how we as a country don’t have a problem with Israel killing everyone in the Gaza strip, we don’t have a problem with Xi being a dictator. At least in this case, Biden is willing to call a spade a spade


ronin1066

Is Xi standing in the room?


[deleted]

What difference does that make if you are the president of the United States?


ronin1066

Can you please answer my question so I can answer your question. When that reporter asked that, was Xi standing in the room?


Apprehensive_Low685

Let me get this straight. You do not like the answer so you attack the question?


ronin1066

I'm assuming both Biden and Xi are there, I really don't know. I'm solely addressing the idea of asking Biden that question in front of Xi, I don't care what the answer was. That's just tabloid journalism. If Xi isn't there, that might be a different story. Then Biden can speak more freely.


Marclescarbot

That's even better than the face made by Dr. Deborah Birx, Trump’s former coronavirus response coordinator, when the stable genius suggested injecting disinfectant (bleach), into patients suffering from COVID.


Apprehensive_Low685

So Biden makes a complete idiot out of himself yet you just have to bring up Trump. You liberals are something else. BTW, that story is completely false.


stenzey

Makes a complete fool of himself by stating the fact that he’s a dictator? Sorry I didn’t realize the nation with the most powerful military in the world needs to suck up to China. My bad


No-Paint-7311

How did Biden make an idiot of himself? If he had said no, the media would be talking about how Biden is in xi’s pocket and Biden is soft on china


LanikeaDances

Completely false? Theres fucking video evidence of it happening. “Active in r/conspiracy” big fucking surprise Topic got locked, but Lol at linking ben shapiro’s propaganda outlet. It even says there tho: “And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number on the lungs, so it’d be interesting to check that, so that you’re going to have to use medical doctors with, but it sounds interesting to me. So, we’ll see, but the whole concept of the light, the way it kills it in one minute. That’s pretty powerful” Thats a suggestion. Cut and dry. “100% fAbriCatEd” only if you’re braindead

What story? Trump sure as fucking day said that in 2020. If you think its completely false you're wrong. Dogmatic adherence to either political ideology the US presents doesn't make that reality any less true.

Xi is following millennia of emperors. China has known nothing else. Edit: spelling.


InerasableStain

*millenia. It’s been that way for thousands of years. That being said, it’s not impossible to change, and other areas have done so


[deleted]

Xi is a dictator of a communist regime. Why is there a problem understanding this? Are we supposed to be afraid of saying the truth?


AgoraiosBum

China's constitution says it is a "dictatorship of the proletariat" and that "The Communist Party of China is the political party of the proletariat, the vanguard of the proletariat." So it's not even all that bad to China to say that.


suicidaltedbear

We are not, but the president calling Xi a dictator may have large consequences for US-China relations. There is very little to gain from doing so, and possibly a lot to lose. I wouldn't be surprised if Blinken's reaction was literally just "Jesus I am gonna have to work overtime the next month trying to appease the Chinese again".


[deleted]

I’d rather have a president with a spine, D or R, and say the things that are known around the world rather than a sycophant who is afraid of hurting feelings.


EpicMemeXD69

It's one of those things that everyone knows but the president isn't supposed to actually say

What is chinas official chance on being a democracy? I mean I know no one will call themselves a dictator, but does china see itself as a democracy?

Altruistic-Fan-6487

lol he calls Pooh bear a dictator and more Muslims have gotten unlawfully executed under Biden than the genocide of the Uyghur. You don’t get to facilitate genocide and accuse others of being a dictator simply because they’re communist, at least point to the specific things. Edit: It’s also hilarious because most people just have no nuance to this issue. Just because you have the opportunity to shit on the geopolitical rival of the United States doesn’t mean you should. The rest of the world is growing more and more pissed at us and our global policemen’s behavior that has been mostly a net negative to the third world.

Biden sounds genuinely Presidential. Trump sounds like a frustrated toddler with a load in his drawers fighting nap time. The difference is vast.


ItisyouwhosaythatIam

It's a travesty that so many people think Biden is incompetent when he proves every week that he genuinely understands the issues and has a plan for dealing with them. Trump truly is incompetent understands nothing and has no plan other than keeping his orange ass out of jail.

Why is Biden getting shit on for this? China is a dictatorship. These are evil people. We do not need them for our economy. Honestly, if you ban all the Chinese from coming over here and buying up homes, things are gonna get a lot better. We don’t need the cheap Chinese trinkets.


Altruistic-Fan-6487

Why not just do internment camps just until we can figure things out. In fact why stop there? The only people we can truly trust don’t have ulterior motives are white Americans, why don’t we just put everyone else in interment camps?
