Imagine if Trump said something like that.
It'd be a global meltdown.
But Xiden said it so allllll gooood.
Xiden said, “Culturally there are different norms that each country and their leaders are expected to follow,”, as if torture, rape and genocide is something that we're supposed to accept as a norm like progressive wokeness and cancel culture in the USA.
Then Professor Xiden expounded on why we should be tolerant if not wholeheartedly approve of authoritarianism and reject such Jeffersonian principles as... "Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles, and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness… it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
“If you know anything about Chinese history, it has always been, the time when China has been victimized by the outer world is when they haven’t been unified at home,” Biden began. “So the central — well, vastly overstated — the central principle of Xi Jinping is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China. And he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.”
Then he gives a wink and a nod to Xi as if to say Come'on Man I have to criticize publicly your ChiCom atrocities, if I don't the Boobus's that voted for me might get outraged and won't sustain me as President.
“I point out to him no American president can be sustained as a president, if he doesn’t reflect the values of the United States,” the US president continued. “And so the idea that I am not going to speak out against what he’s doing in Hong Kong, what he’s doing with the Uighurs in western mountains of China and Taiwan — trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful … [Xi] gets it.”
Yes...imagine if Trump said stuff like that
