Chinese leaders 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. So the central principle of (XDD) is that there must be a united, tightly controlled China. And he uses his rationale for the things he does based on that.
Asked about his call with Chinese leader [XDD], President Biden said that the US "must speak up on human rights" and that there will "be repercussions for China" over human rights abuses.
"What I'm doing is, making clear that, we, in fact, are going to continue to reassert our role as spokespersons for human rights at the UN and other agencies that have an impact on their attitude," Biden told CNN's Anderson Cooper during tonight's town hall.
And so the idea is, that I am not going to speak out against what he's doing in Hong Kong, what he's doing with the Uyghurs in the western mountains of China, and Taiwan trying to end the one China policy by making it forceful...he gets it.
"China is trying very hard to become the world leader. And to get that moniker and be able to do that they have to gain the confidence of other countries. And as long as they are engaged in activity that is contrary to basic human rights, it's going to be hard for them to do that," Biden explained
Biden ended his answer by noting that the issue and China policy in general is "much more complicated than that, I shouldn't try to talk China policy in 10 minutes on television."
Robby Starbuck on TwitterJoe Biden refused to defend Uighurs stuck in communist China concentration camps and he dismissed it as a cultural difference. One of the most disgusting things a President has ever said. After seeing this, and I don’t say this lightly, I think Joe would‘ve defended Nazis too.
