US President Joe Biden said Wednesday he still believes Chinese President Xi Jinping is a dictator, even as the two leaders made progress in their relationship during a meeting outside San Francisco.

“Well, look, he’s a dictator in the sense that he is a guy who runs a country that is a communist country that’s based on a form of government totally different than ours,” Biden told CNN’s MJ Lee. “Anyway, we made progress.”

The remark is likely to upset Beijing, which responded furiously over the summer when the president made a similar comment.

Xi must have enjoyed experiencing first hand diben's dying brain, but 4 hours with the big guy must have been excruciating.

Charming the socks off Xi no doubt!

YUP!!! Wouldn't you love to be a fly on the wall for that meeting of minds between the puppet president and the one pulling the strings. Wasn't it Obama who said "Never underestimate Joe's ability to screw things up!"

Here, dictator is considered bad.
In China, at least among the ruling elite, dictator is considered good.

Traditional Chinese (from Google Translate):
Dictator 獨裁者

Good 好

Bad 壞


Since characters in the Chinese alphabet are made up of pictures that tell a story, just out of curiosity:

Christ 基督

Messih 彌賽亞
