US President Joe Biden while speaking at a Democratic Party donors reception in California on Tuesday equated his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping with “dictators”. Speaking at the campaign fundraiser, Biden said Xi had been angered over American military jets shooting down a Chinese “spy balloon” in February after it was found flying over the United States.
“The reason why Xi Jinping got very upset in terms of when I shot that balloon down with two box cars full of spy equipment is he didn’t know it was there. I’m serious.
