Blinken: Biden Will Tell Xi Jinping That China Will Face ‘Costs’ If It Supports Putin’s War
CNS News ^ | March 18, 2022 | Patrick Goodenough

President Biden will tell Chinese President Xi Jinping during their phone call on Friday that if China takes any steps to help Russia’s war against Ukraine, it will face consequences.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken told reporters at the State Department that Biden “will make clear that China will bear responsibility for any actions it takes to support Russia’s aggression, and we will not hesitate to impose costs.”

The phone conversation is scheduled to take place four days after National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan met in Rome with the Chinese Communist Party’s top foreign affairs official, Yang Jiechi, and delivered the same message. That meeting had been long planned, but followed reports that Russia has asked China for help as it deals with the effects of economic sanctions imposed in response to its invasion of Ukraine.

Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Hua Chunying said the Biden-Xi call was requested by the U.S. side, although when asked who initiated it, White House press secretary Jen Psaki only said it had been discussed and mutually agreed upon at the Sullivan-Yang meeting.

Biden, she said, was “a big believer in leader-to-leader diplomacy.”

Boy, I’ll bet old Xi Jinping is shaking in his boots after that stern warning from our leader.

Funny considering it hasn't born any responsibility or costs for unleashing the fauxi virus on the world.

When Biden Republicans supported Free Trade, our manufactures moved from America to Mexico and eventually China, in the pursuit of slave wages. China now makes our products and any posturing by Biden is nothing but wind. China OWNS us, thanks to a political class who cares more about the Chamber of Commerce than Main street.

Hopefully Biden will do better with Xi than Putin.

"We hear and see statements that are actually personal insults to President Putin," Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

"Given such irritability from Mr Biden, his fatigue and sometimes forgetfulness...fatigue that leads to aggressive statements, we will not make harsh assessments, so as not to cause more aggression."

The compromising pictures pedoJoe was talking about last week could easily have been taken during one of Hunters China trips.

America is a pathetic joke. Why would any foreign head of state worry about pedo joe's threats?

They wouldn't dare try this crap with POTUS Trump, but, at least: no more mean tweets. (Even if it means the collapse of the West.)

Joe will have to get his balls from Jill first. She keeps them in her purse.

Putin should chop off Blinkens head and send it to Biden in a gift wrapped box.

Biden will remind him of what he did with Corn Pop. And Snap and Crackle too, if necessary.
