Blinken had said on Monday the chapter should be closed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment in it was he didn&#8217;t know it was there,&#8221; <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a great embarrassment for <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">dictators.<\/span> When they didn&#8217;t know what happened. That wasn&#8217;t supposed to be going where it was. It was blown off course,&#8221; <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> said.<\/p>\n<h3>Xi Jinping&#8217;s Leadership and China&#8217;s Political System<\/h3>\n<p>Xi became China&#8217;s most powerful leader since Mao Zedong after securing a precedent-breaking third term as president in March and head of the Communist Party in October.<\/p>\n<p>He presides over a one-party system that many human rights groups, Western leaders, and academics call a <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">dictatorship<\/span> because it lacks an independent judiciary, free media, or universal suffrage for national office.<\/p>\n<p>Critics of Xi and his party are censored online and risk detention offline.<\/p>\n<h3>China&#8217;s Response and Biden&#8217;s Contradictory Remarks<\/h3>\n<p><span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> also said China &#8220;has real economic difficulties.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span>&#8216;s remarks were &#8220;extremely absurd&#8221; and &#8220;irresponsible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Expressing China&#8217;s strong dissatisfaction, foreign ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning said <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span>&#8216;s comments seriously violated facts, diplomatic protocol, and China&#8217;s political dignity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They&#8217;re an open political provocation,&#8221; she told a news conference.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span>&#8216;s big mouth is a loose cannon,&#8221; said Wu Xinbo, director of the Center for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mutual trust is what China has been stressing, so <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span>&#8216;s comments are very destructive and damaging,&#8221; Wu said.<\/p>\n<h3>Efforts to Stabilize U.S.-China Relations<\/h3>\n<p>Still, the remarks may not totally undo what Blinken had achieved on his China visit, Wu said.<\/p>\n<p><span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> has often defined the current state of global politics as a battle between democracy and autocracy, and said democratically-led countries should establish economic ties to balance autocratic-led countries, aiming at Russia and China.<\/p>\n<p>Beijing in the past has bristled at that definition. Xi told <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> during a November 2022 meeting that China has &#8220;Chinese-style democracy,&#8221; Chinese state news reported then.<\/p>\n<p>Blinken and Xi agreed in their meeting on Monday to stabilize the rivalry between Washington and Beijing so it did not veer into conflict.<\/p>\n<p>While no breakthroughs were made during the first visit to China by a U.S. secretary of state for five years, both sides did agree to continue diplomatic engagement with more visits by U.S. officials in the coming weeks and months.<\/p>\n<p><span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> said later on Tuesday that U.S. climate envoy John Kerry may go to China soon.<\/p>\n<p>A day earlier, on Monday, <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span> said he thought relations between the two countries were on the right path, and he indicated that progress was made during Blinken&#8217;s trip.<\/p>\n<h3>Contradictory U.S. Foreign Policy<\/h3>\n<p>Chiming in from Moscow, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said <span data-qa-component=\"highlight-text\">Biden<\/span>&#8216;s comments contradicted Blinken&#8217;s efforts to ease tensions with Beijing, describing the remarks as &#8220;incomprehensible&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are very contradictory manifestations of U.S. foreign policy, which speak of a large element of unpredictability,&#8221; Peskov told reporters on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winred.tomcotton.com\/tom-cotton\/defend-scotus-ads-beacon?utm_source=rc&#038;utm_medium=beaconads&#038;utm_campaign=2023maybeaconscotus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/winred.tomcotton.com\/tom-cotton\/defend-scotus-ads-beacon?utm_source=rc&#038;utm_medium=beaconads&#038;utm_campaign=2023maybeaconscotus\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&#8220;However, that&#8217;s their business,&#8221; Peskov said. &#8220;We&#8217;ve our own bad relations with the United States of America and our very good relations with the People&#8217;s Republic of China.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>(Reporting by Trevor Hunnicutt; additional reporting by Ryan Woo in Beijing; Writing by Kanishka Singh; Editing by Stephen Coates, Simon Cameron-Moore, Heather Timmons, and Angus MacSwan)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>China responded strongly to President Joe Biden&#8217;s labeling of President Xi Jinping as a &#8220;dictator,&#8221; deeming the remarks absurd and provocative.
