Let’s give a shout out to the Biden Administration for allowing this human rights violating regime to take power - hat’s off to the US Department of State and ChiCom Gen Milley for their astute analysis in making sure this cluster frick happened without dissent or debate within their agency’s of address.

It is all on Joe the Buck stops with ?
