While for the past ten months President Joe Biden has been confined to the United States, last week, he was put on full display in front of the entire world at the G20 summit. And while Americans have already gotten a clear picture of President Biden and his blunders, stumbles, and cheat sheets, the world was able to get a front-row seat to the spectacle that is Joe Biden. Not disappointing, President Biden fumbled his words, whispered into the microphone, and even took a nap during the summit. And following the same routine, this week, during the United Nations COP26 climate summit, Biden literally apologized on behalf of America, leading China to not only mock him but call him “powerless”.
Speaking at the conference on Monday, President Biden said, “I guess I shouldn’t apologize, but I do apologize for the fact that the United States in the last administration pulled out of the Paris Accords and put us sort of behind the eight ball a little bit. The United States is not only back at the table but hopefully leading by the power of example. I know that hasn’t been the case and that’s why my administration is working overtime.”
Although not the worst statement Biden has made, the Global Times, one of China’s media government outlets, mocked the President for being powerless. “What a ‘noble’ apology, which made Biden seem like he cares about climate change, but also how hypocritical and powerless he is. His apology does not make any sense, as he has no plan to fulfill his promises and no guarantee to make sure that his commitment won’t be toppled by the next administration.”
The outlet added, “Worse, he cannot even win enough support from his own party to get a green light for his plan. If the U.S. still has teeth, it will definitely not become that humble.”
Already bashing America and President Biden, the Global Times finished by claiming it was only a matter of time before Trump entered the White House to apologize for Biden. “Quite a few netizens, including those from the US, claimed they cannot wait until 2024 when the Republican Party, or even Donald Trump himself, apologizes for Biden’s apology.”
It should be noted that the ridicule from the Global Times comes after President Biden criticized China for not attending the event. He said, “We showed up, and by showing up we’ve had a profound impact on the way I think the rest of the world is looking at the United States in its leadership role. ” Biden added that China “lost an ability to influence people around the world” and ultimately made a “big mistake”.
LOL. The Chinese are better Americans than Brandon voters.
They know he’s a vapid moron who only bullies his own people.
His apologized.
Anyhow, back in the days Nixon and Kissinger were selling out to the ChiComs Mao would tell Nixon don’t worry. Slam me in public and in the press for your public image and to placate the electorate and I will do the same to you as we collude secretly behind the scenes.
Spineless. Dickless. Brainless. There are so many terms possible in Joseph Stolen's case.
The Biden Crime Family is doing quite well financially.
China sees to that.
Politics is like Sausage...... If you like either one, it’s best you not watch it being made................
Public apologies have great significance in many cultures, especially Asian cultures.
Why wouldn’t they now view Biden as a weak, wobbly and spent force?
Most Americans feel the same way.
Biden has no Presidential mojo and the entire world knows it. He doesn’t have any idea how to project strength, confidence and power.
Although I am ashamed to admit it and as much as I hate to say it, just this one time I agree with the Chinese.
Hey, they can’t make fun of our President like that! Only WE can make fun of our President like that!
Is Winnie the Xi wrong?
as he has no plan to fulfill his promises and no guarantee to make sure that his commitment won’t be toppled by the next administration.”
wait...i thought china was brandon’s new bff.
With Trump they knew they’d have to face the music.
With Biden they know they’ll have to face Musak.

If the source could write a proper headline instead of gibberish, I might be more inclined to care about what they write, and less inclined to think, “Yeah, they are a great source!”. Just saying.
They should call him “witless” or “dickless.”
Powerless against you, China, but he’s like God to those of the vaxxine believing for salvation faithful.

Fact-checking claims about Hunter Biden, Joe Biden, and China

IF YOUR TIME IS SHORT
• The granular details of many of the allegations about Hunter Biden’s dealings in China are supported by documentation, but larger conclusions resurrected at the end of the 2020 campaign are unsubstantiated.
• Foreign policy experts say these allegations do not add up to a picture of Joe Biden being corrupt or pursuing policies contrary to the national interest. There is no evidence that Hunter Biden came close to breaking the law, much less any evidence that his father has done so.
• Critics say that the Trump family’s financial entanglements are at least as problematic, if not more so, than the Bidens’.
As Election Day nears, President Donald Trump and his supporters are urging greater scrutiny of Hunter Biden, the son of his opponent, Democratic nominee Joe Biden. They’re especially focusing on the younger Biden’s ties to China.
“Joe Biden must immediately release all emails, meetings, phone calls, transcripts, and records related to his involvement in his family’s business dealings and influence peddling around the world—including in CHINA!” Trump tweeted on Oct. 14. His campaign also ran an ad that said, “The question is not why Hunter Biden used his name to get these gigs. It’s why Joe Biden let him do it.”
This line of attack against Biden is crystallized in a new documentary distributed by TheBlaze, a conservative media site, and featuring the conservative author Peter Schweizer.
The film relies on Schweizer’s 2019 book, “Secret Empires: How the American Political Class Hides Corruption and Enriches Family and Friends.” Previously, Schweizer wrote the book “Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich,” which received some poor ratings for accuracy from PolitiFact.
We have previously reviewed some of the allegations leveled at Hunter Biden by Trump allies. However, because of the renewed focus on Hunter Biden’s dealings in China in the closing days of the campaign, we’ll look at some of the issues again here.
Late in the documentary, Schweizer offers a narration that summarizes some of the key arguments made by Trump’s allies.
“What we do know is that the Bidens have cultivated very close relationships with members of the Chinese elite, and some of those relationships would be very hard to defend. … We know the Biden family has a series of lucrative deals with the Chinese government. We know that these deals came despite a lack of experience by the Bidens in the areas they cover. We know that they happened while Joe Biden was steering policy towards China.
“We also know that these deals didn’t just make the Bidens money — they had dangerous consequences for our national security. We know that Hunter Biden’s firm, backed by the Chinese government, invested in a company that was actively stealing nuclear secrets from the United States. We know that China has been consistent in its efforts to acquire U.S. technology, and that their spies have been caught trying to steal our nuclear technology.
“We know that Hunter Biden’s firm bought a company that provides dual-use technologies for the Chinese military. We know that global powers have tried to stop China from monopolizing the world’s mineral resources. And we know that Hunter Biden’s firm bought a company that actually helped China in its competition with the United States for mineral resources.”
Many of the granular specifics that Schweizer cites have been documented, but foreign policy experts say the overarching conclusions reached in the documentary miss the mark because they do not add up to a picture of Joe Biden being corrupt or pursuing policies contrary to the national interest.
The documentary leaves the impression that former Vice President Joe Biden is willing to sell out his country’s national security for personal gain. But independent experts agree that this assertion is baseless. The documentary never says that either Biden broke the law, but its pairing of the Bidens with Chinese figures charged with espionage and other crimes, punctuated by spooky music, might give a viewer that impression. However, there is no evidence that Hunter Biden came close to breaking the law, much less any evidence that his father has done so.
Meanwhile, critics say that the Trump family’s financial entanglements are at least as problematic, if not worse.
“There needs to be financial disclosures of adult children of politicians, as well as politicians themselves,” said Yoshiko Herrera, a University of Wisconsin professor who previously headed the university’s Center for Russia, East Europe and Central Asia. “Let’s start with President Trump’s tax returns, then all the candidates’ adult childrens’ tax returns, and then we can dig deeper on other extraneous rumors about China.”
Here’s a look at some of the claims from the documentary, which we’ve divided into micro-level and macro-level allegations. The Trump or Biden campaigns did not respond to an inquiry for this article, though Schweizer did. Also, for clarity’s sake, the China allegations against Hunter Biden are separate from those involving alleged ties to Ukraine that were published on Oct. 14 by the New York Post, and that have drawn skepticism.

Why would they have respect for anyone who sells out their own country?
