EXCLUSIVE: The Biden administration is getting slammed as handing a "major coup" to Chinese President Xi Jinping after two senior officials made a trip to China on Sunday in an attempt to ease tensions between the two countries.
Critics immediately pointed out that Sunday, June 4, marks the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, when the Chinese military slaughtered hundreds, possibly thousands, of pro-democracy protesters.
Daniel Kritenbrink, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, and Sarah Beran, the National Security Council's senior director for China and Taiwan affairs, arrived in Beijing to discuss "key issues in the bilateral relationship," the State Department said in a press release.
Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., called attention to the timing of the trip on Twitter.
"Is the Biden Administration sending senior officials to China as we remember the anniversary of the massacre in Tiananmen Square?" he wrote.
Issa, who serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told Fox News Digital that the trip only benefits China and Chinese President Xi Jinping while weakening the United States' position on the world stage.
"This is no ordinary foreign policy stumble," he said. "It’s a concession demanded by the Chinese and granted by a White House and State Department willing to bend. It’s a major coup for Xi, and America’s position in the world just got weaker – where it matters most."
"There's no way the Congress can just look away and let this go," he added.

I don’t know if Brent Scowcroft is alive but he is scum.
What would the Biden Administration do differently if it were a wholly owned subsidiary of the CCP?
Nothing.
Once again. Biden is owned by China.
Sure they can. The Demonrats can get away with anything, and the Republicans do nothing but talk.
These days who knows, maybe the modern State Dept doesn’t keep up with all that foreign stuff and symbolic dates and such.
Bejing Biden strikes again. The POTUS is compromised. They’re not even trying to hide it anymore.
Hey MCCARTHY! Impeach the traitor, fer gawds sake!!!
Branden had only sent his people to get tips from the CCP. His people were unable to massacre at that level for Jan 6 and having so many political prisoners is messy.
It’s a major coup for Xi, and America’s position in the world just got weaker.
The left got what they voted and rigged for it ain’t like the weren’t warned as far back as 2019.
Stupidity is a fast killer
Saving America just got to be a much harder job.
