When CNN asked U.S. President Joe Biden about his China policy during a televised event held in Milwaukee on Feb. 16, he said he couldn’t discuss it in just 10 minutes. Biden then made bizarre remarks. He not only misinterpreted Chinese history but also justified Communist Party leader Xi Jinping’s authoritarian policies. The direction of the new administration’s China policy is truly concerning.
