The White House itself appeared to partake in such an attempt during the conference, censoring an address by Taiwanese minister Audrey Tang after she displayed a map that showed the sovereign nation in a different color than China. While Biden administration officials claimed a \u201ctechnical\u201d error was responsible for the move, anonymous officials told Reuters that the White House cut the feed on purpose out of fear of offending China.<\/p>\n<p>China was already <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/24\/china-joe-biden-invite-to-taiwan-for-democracy-summit-wimpy\/\">offended<\/a>, on itself and Russia\u2019s behalf, for not being invited.<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the 2,100-word statement on Xi\u2019s discussion with Putin, the Chinese Foreign Ministry replayed that Xi engaged in a defensive rant about the definition of \u201cdemocracy\u201d in defense of his regime, a totalitarian, violent institution currently engaging in genocide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cXi stressed that democracy is a lofty aspiration and common value of all humanity and also a right enjoyed by people of all countries,\u201d the Ministry claimed. \u201cWhether a country is democratic or not and how to better realize democracy can only be left to its own people to decide. International affairs should be managed by all countries through consultation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPromoting greater democracy in international relations and upholding true multilateralism is the expectation of the people and the prevailing trend of the times,\u201d the Ministry statement continued. \u201cChina will enhance communication and coordination with Russia to encourage the international community to take the right view on democracy and defend the legitimate democratic rights of all countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>The Kremlin readout was much shorter and included only a transcript of Putin\u2019s initial remarks to Xi, though the statement ends with \u201cto be continued.\u201d In the excerpt published, Putin <a href=\"http:\/\/en.kremlin.ru\/events\/president\/news\/67364\">expressed<\/a> \u201cdelight\u201d at speaking to \u201cdear friend\u201d Xi and, to a much lesser extent than the Chinese interpretation of the conversation, focused on mutual enemies. Instead, Putin highlighted points of cooperation, including plans for Russia to build a nuclear power plant in China.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA&nbsp;new model of&nbsp;cooperation has developed between our countries,\u201d Putin said, according to the Kremlin. \u201cA model based, in&nbsp;part, on&nbsp;the&nbsp;principles of&nbsp;non-interference in&nbsp;each other\u2019s affairs and&nbsp;mutual resolve to&nbsp;turn our common border into a&nbsp;belt of&nbsp;eternal peace and&nbsp;good-neighbourliness.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>The Chinese government has at press time offered more details about Putin\u2019s remarks than Moscow.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRussia firmly rejects attempts to meddle in the internal affairs of Russia and China or to contain the legitimate development interests of the two countries,\u201d the Chinese Foreign Ministry quoted Putin as saying. \u201cIt is committed to upholding international fairness and justice and to maintaining strategic security and stability in the world. Russia is ready for more communication with China on defending true democratic rights and interests of all countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Xi also ceremonially invited Putin to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics \u2014 Putin had already reportedly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/19\/china-invites-vladimir-putin-but-not-joe-biden-to-beijing-winter-olympics\/\">accepted<\/a> an invite in private \u2014 another jab at the United States, which received no such invitation for its officials.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B4\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>Biden attempted to declare that America would engage in a \u201cdiplomatic boycott\u201d of the Olympics this month in protest of the ongoing Chinese genocide of the Uyghur people and other human rights atrocities, but Beijing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/12\/07\/youre-not-invited-china-laughs-off-joe-bidens-olympics-half-measure\/\">laughed<\/a> off the declaration, noting that the officials \u201cboycotting\u201d were never invited to begin with.<\/p>\n<p>A \u201cdiplomatic boycott\u201d of the Olympics is not a boycott, as diplomats do not participate in Olympic sports, so their absence has no effect on the event.<\/p>\n<p>The tenor of the Xi-Putin call differed markedly from Xi\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/16\/worlds-worst-human-rights-criminal-xi-jinping-threatens-to-burn-biden-over-taiwan\/\">conversation<\/a> with Biden in November. In that talk, which reportedly lasted hours, Xi threatened Biden to not support the government of Taiwan, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/16\/worlds-worst-human-rights-criminal-xi-jinping-threatens-to-burn-biden-over-taiwan\/\">asserting<\/a>,&nbsp;\u201cSuch moves are extremely dangerous, just like playing with fire.
