The Chinese government called this Wednesday “ridiculous” statements by US President Joe Biden, in which he described his Chinese counterpart as “dictator” and said it was a “political provocation” just two days after US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken visited Beijing to improve tense bilateral relations between the two countries.

“United States Statements extremely funny and irresponsible. They seriously violate the basic facts, diplomatic protocols and political dignity of China,” condemned Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Mao Ning, who criticized Biden’s account of the destruction of a Chinese balloon in mid-air last year. .

As such, he indicated that the incident was “very clear” and indicated that “It was an accidental event caused by force majeure”. “The United States should have dealt with this calmly, rationally and professionally,” he assessed, while arguing that Washington “distorted the facts, abused power and emphasized the situation, demonstrating its hegemonic nature.”

Mao’s reaction came hours after Biden pointed out during a California fundraiser that Xi ‘very angry’ at downed balloonwho carried “two boxes full of spy equipment, he didn’t know they were there.” “It was the great shame of the dictators, when they didn’t know what happened,” Biden said, adding that the Chinese president was “very embarrassed” after the shooting.

“Now we are in a situation where he (Xi) wants to be in a relationship again. Anthony Blinken was just there, he did a good job and it will take time.”, he said, after Blinken paid a visit to the Asian giant in which he met Xi, with his Chinese counterpart Qin Gang; and with Xi’s chief foreign policy adviser Wang Yi.
