“Biden has said China isn’t a threat and has downplayed their ongoing campaigns to undermine the U.S. geopolitically, militarily and economically.

“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man,” Biden said during an Iowa campaign stop last summer. “I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us.” “The fact of the matter is we can do all we need to do without punishing anybody,” he continued.

Biden’s position on China is dangerous and not based in reality. For years the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has been sending Chinese students to America’s top doctorate programs in order to gain access to university research labs. There, they steal intellectual property from the highest levels of U.S. science.

Chinese diplomat to the other: "What's with the purple-haired chick?"

Other Chinese diplomat: "Never mind, this is Biden's administration"

First diplomat: "This is almost too easy!"

"On Day 57, a timid-looking Secretary of State Antony Blinken “confronted” the CCP—flanked by a purple-haired staffer. China Bullies Biden’s Buddies. The U.S. and China held their first face-to-face meeting of the Biden presidency in Alaska on Thursday."

While watching hours on end of Sesame Street reruns might have helped the CCP representatives prepare for the cultural shock of meeting with the biden administration staffers, it was unlikely adequate to help them manage their impatience. Likewise I suspect the biden staffers spent many hours in therapy thereafter.
