Yesterday in a failed effort to stabilize American-Chinese relations in San Francisco California. American President Joe Biden squandered the talks between the two nations for the second time by yet again calling Xi Jinping a “Dictator”. The metaphorical actions of “shaking your hand and spitting in your face” by Joe Biden does nothing but pushes China away from the table. The Chinese are very much into showing respect and dignity especially when dealing with geopolitical issues. However, yesterday’s disrespectful comments made by Joe Biden to describe Xi Jinping after their meeting while addressing the American public will result in nothing more than blowback in terms of American-Chinese relations.
There are people in the United States and around the world that have a distaste for the notion of a Communist Government. But just because you don’t like another form of government doesn't give anyone the right to write off that nation’s leader as a “Dictator” or anything else with a negative connotation. In fact, because of the comments made by American President Joe Biden, the point could be made that he is anti-American in the fact that he himself, as a leader of a “democracy” has failed not once but twice when it comes to being tolerant and accepting of another country’s way of life.

In regard to the Israeli-Palestine war, it was also stated that behind closed doors that it was Chinese President Xi Jinping who convinced Joe Biden to play a bigger role in reducing the chances of the war between the rival nations from spreading into a larger conflict. This is evident that Joe Biden latterly paid Iran off to the tune of $10 billion dollars and lifted some of the decade’s long sanctions on Iran as well in exchange for them turning down their pro-war rhetoric towards the Israeli’s. This happened in light of the recent pro-Palestine marches that have been happening not only in America but around the world. Keep in mind that the polls show a steep decline in the public faith in Joe Biden as President.
Outside the usual discussion of Artificial Intelligence and the series of precursors of the manufacturing of fentanyl which is accused of fueling the illegal drug epidemic in America, China “bluntly, candidly, and straightforwardly” requested that America stop arming Taiwan. This is important to know because if Joe Biden says he respects the “One China Policy”, then he would cease all weapons transfers and the funding of Taiwan and leave it up to China to how they will deal with Taiwan on their own terms - but he doesn’t.
Respect goes a long way not only in life but in the realm of geopolitics; failure to adhere to this rule can and often will result in the culprit of the disrespect eating humble pie in the end. Don’t take our word for it, keep remembering 9/11 and the ridiculous amount of wars America has lost in the last 40 years.
