I’m sure Xi is beyond having his feelings hurt by Biden, but just look at Bilken’s reaction lmao.

Inviting a head of state to your country to publicly insult them is unacceptable anywhere, so this is only going to further tarnish the shitty reputation of American diplomacy.

      If we’re being real here, Trump doesn’t like anyone. He’s an extreme narcissist, almost to the point of solipsism. When I say he “likes” Xi, I mean that he’s more likely than not to say nice things about him. He had lots of praise for Xi while he was president.

        Worked for a bit for Kim Jong Un. Also out of that inthink came the smartest thing Trump ever said and I’m paraphrasing “Part of running a country is having diplomatic relationships with other countries and there isn’t generally a downside to meeting with leaders of other countries.” Coming from business brain but also, like…yeah, pretty sure if I was the president of the US one of the first things I’d do I chat with the leaders of as many other countries as possible, I’m the new guy.
