That\u2019s what\u2019s a great embarrassment for dictators, when they didn\u2019t know what happened. It was blown off course up through Alaska and then down through the United States. And he didn\u2019t know about it. When it got shot down, he was very embarrassed. He denied it was even there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The remarks from Biden drew criticism and condemnation from China, furthering the rift between the two nations. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Mao Ning said that Biden\u2019s comments were \u201cextremely absurd and irresponsible,\u201d and that they \u201cgo totally against facts and seriously violate diplomatic protocol, and severely infringe on China\u2019s political dignity.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote data-service=\"twitter\" data-category=\"marketing\" data-placeholder-image=\"https:\/\/c3.oann.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/complianz-gdpr\/assets\/images\/placeholders\/twitter-minimal.jpg\" class=\"cmplz-placeholder-element twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8President Joe Biden calling Chinese president a \u2018dictator\u2019 has enraged Xi and seriously violated China&#8217;s political dignity and amounted to public political provocation, China&#8217;s foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning said!

Secretary Blinken had a good trip and made some progress. We have every expectation of building on that progress.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Confusion among Biden administration officials was apparent as one official had said that Biden\u2019s remarks were pointed towards dictators in general and not Xi specifically, while another said that it was clear that the President was calling the Chinese leader a dictator.<\/p>\n<p>The remarks from Biden come after Blinken had finished his visit to China in an effort to try and restore the relationship with China which has now reached an all time low. Blinken and Chinese representatives both reported that the visit and talks were productive, however, no significant breakthrough or progress was reported.<\/p>\n<p>Biden also downplayed the economic competition with China, the world\u2019s second largest economy, behind the United States.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\">\n<p>\u201cBy the way, I promise you, don\u2019t worry about China.
