resident Joe Biden and China's Xi Jinping are planning to meet again following their four hour talk in San Francisco that cemented agreements on fentanyl and defense contacts, the White House said Monday.
National security spokesman John Kirby told reporters another high stakes meeting was on the agenda as he defended Biden's comment last week where he stood by calling Xi a 'dictator.'
The comment did not go over well in China's state-run media, although Xi Jinping gave a speech to American CEOs Wednesday immediately after his sit-down with Biden where he declared China is 'ready to be a partner and friend of the United States.'
'They agreed that they would meet again,' Kirby told reporters at the White House, adding that there was 'no date put on a calendar.'
That left it open both when and where Biden would meet again. Biden is not expected to attend the upcoming COP summit in the United Arab Emirates. China isn't part of the G7, which meets in June in Italy, while the G20 meeting in Brazil isn't set to take place until November.
Kirby was asked to respond to a statement by China's foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning, who called the president's 'dictator' comment 'extremely wrong and irresponsible political manipulation.'
Biden had been asked if he stood by his own prior 'dictator' comment. The question came immediately after he wrapped up his meetings with Xi, in an effort to put relations back on track following deep splits over Taiwan, Ukraine, trade, and Chinese military flexing in the South China sea.
'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 responded. 'Anyway, we made progress,' he added.

China is a force to be reckoned with, whether it’s Sleepy Joe or someone else. The American press fancies DJT as a “dictator.” I don’t even want to begin untangling all the media propaganda, whether from within China or the USA. Too many liars empowering themselves. God will sort it out, and that’s good enough for me.
Xi will bring a bevy of 6-year-olds to distract Ol’ Poop Pantz...
So Xi must endure another round of Biden babbling, staring into space, and passing gas.
I’m rather sure of what Xi is thinking about this.
What’s the difference between Jao Xiden and Xi Jinping? Both are commies and made money off of other people’s labor while acting like a dictator. But the difference between the two is that Xi Jinping doesn’t sniff little girls.
I guess even Dementia Joe can get one right every decade or so...
Yeah, the agreement was, Joe can say what he wants about Xi to keep up appearances, while he’s Xi’s servant boy behind the scenes.
