The media is all over the place trying to find a way to process this disastrous meeting with the Chinese.
I see (below) that some are trying to say that is "like Trump" I guess to protect Biden from republican criticism by saying Trump would have done the same or to promote the idea that Joe is in fact a tough guy too. Not working.
No, it is not like Trump. Trump played the good guy/bad guy routine to the max. He as very tough in his word and actions but also had a constant word stream of how much respect he had for Xi and the Chinese and that it was really the Americans who just let them can away with what the Chinese do. Then he would continually recount how he and his buddy Xi would talk on the phone, whatever. Serious messaging was also occurring backchannel with enforcement of it in the real world.
That little clown show Thursday was a disgrace and was a disgrace to American diplomacy. Bunch of whiny little Biden piss ants just showed up and poked the Chinese in the eye, and dumped acid on them and it ended out with reporters being shuttled in and out of the room to make sure the shaming of the other was adequately documented. What a disaster.
As I said yesterday, the lefties will say I am just taking cheap shots at Biden, but they know that session was a disaster for even their lefty goals.
Sheesh. Clown show.
Has nothing to do with needing to get tough with China. Nothing whatsoever. Just junior level diplomats klutzing around. Unfortunately one of them was just confirmed as Secretary of State. The irony is that they all have a long history of being owned by China and being pro-China and they tried to do a "tough on China" routine to help out Joe who is largely considered to be owned by China. What a disaster.
China got stuff on Hunter and Joe too. Joe wants to embarass the Chinese in some piss ant meeting, they got ways to even that score.
Go find some grown-ups for those meetings. You dont have to be pro-Chinese to engage with them and see what can be worked out. Refer to Richard Nixon for more on this. The guy had the personality of a toadstool and hated the commies but stunned the world by getting on a plane and going to the secret, very closed Red China and opened up relations.
Rocky start.
