China Claims Upper Hand Over Biden After Contentious Phone Call with Xi

China on Friday attempted to portray the latest phone call between President Xi Jinping and President Joe Biden as evidence that Beijing has the upper hand in increasingly contentious relations between the two countries, noting the U.S. initiated the exchange as it has for most other recent high-level talks.

Their call, the second between the two leaders since Biden became president, "highlighted Washington's growing anxiety and need for China's cooperation on key global issues including climate change, COVID-19 fight and Afghan issues," China's English-language Global Times, considered a mouthpiece for the Chinese Communist Party, wrote in a post Friday morning, citing a series of local analysts.

It emphasized multiple times what it considers the "huge pressure" Biden now faces amid a series of mounting international crises that require at least some form of coordination between Washington and Beijing: fallout from the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan and the Western-backed government's shocking collapse, gloomy new public health assessments amid the troubling rise of the delta variant of the coronavirus, rising tensions in the western Pacific as an emboldened Beijing exercises its growing economic and military power, and the ravaging effects of climate change that have been particularly evident across the U.S.

If Biden sticks with the original secret agreement between the Democrat Party and the CCP, he will continue to plunge in the polls, simply because the American people seem to have caught on to what is happening. The Chinese imperialists want access to Afghanistan, not conquest. They will strip that country of its resources, and say “ta ta”.

This is what they are doing in Asia, Africa, and soon Europe. Thus the debacle in Afghanistan is scheduled to be followed up by the “invasion” of Taiwan. I suspect that the abandonment of Taiwan and the abrogation of the security pact we have with that independent nation, is a forgone conclusion.

I put “invasion” in quotes because I believe that Xi Ping Pong is pressuring Biden to stick to the plan, in which Biden pledged to stand impotently by and not intervene during a military assault from the mainland. The CCP will use this to pressure Taiwan to surrender, promising leniency if there is no resistance. Without American intervention, Taiwan is doomed.

Biden remarkably realizes that he will not last the year if he does stand down. The alternative is war, and Biden cannot escape his own treachery, and so he withdraws into his mental cloud of dementia. And we wonder what is happening?

We are doubly threatened by the fact that we have no competent leadership, at all. We are adrift, and the CCP knows that they must strike, while the house plant remains installed in the Oval Office.

I can’t wait for the executions of all those involved in this genocide. We are at war and that reality better wake up the American people before it’s too late.

My concern is that like every lefty liberal, if he loses to much face, he will decide to vindicate his sordid self by using the nuclear codes.

That is the traditional concern, and China along with many of the smarter members of Team Biden must be sensitive to the mess that would make.

IMO, China has sufficient control over Team Biden to assure he will not be tempted, or even allowed to use the codes.

Staged. Orchestrated. Scripted to make it look like creepy joe is actually dueling in favor of American interests.

But he dances to Xi's tune, for sure.

On who? After getting humiliated in Afghanistan, he's turned his dictatorial wrath on the people of the United States.

I think you answered your own question.

...as evidence that Beijing has the upper hand...

"Upper hand?" Biden is a wholly-owned subsidiary of China, and others apparently. This is all just for show. "Why no, we're not friends, we're ... ah ... 'adversaries' yeah, that's it and we think we're winning!" {wink} {wink} As if the deposits in the off-shore Biden accounts weren't rolling in.

Tin foil?

Well did you know that Biden pulled out of Afghanistan without so much as an e-mail or phone call to NATO allies?

NATO allies are white supremacist colonial nations that exploit brown, black and yellow people, Therefore they must be punished.

Are you not up on CRT thinking that runs Joe Biden?

Sutureyourself.

Nukem Joe! LOL.

Same with japan. China wants Joe to do Japan in.Joe does what China wants.

First of all the climate change thing is a non-sequitur & there’s no sense even thinking about it with the important things we have to consider. Secondly, why couldn’t we just pick some unknown off the street to take Biden’s place; we could hardly do any worse.

Well, you’re the one having Biden nuke NATO - that is just a stretch too far. Definitely requires mega rolls of tin foil.

After you bought out the entire stock of the city nearest you, it created such a demand that the smelters and factories could hardly keep up ; as a consequence my aluminum stock investment are sky rocketing - up nearly 3000%! Thanks!!
