The Chinese system of governing has checks and balances and is based off results. Xi doesn't get to his position without a proven track record. As long as the average people continue to have their lives improved, they are supportive of their government. The people have the power so it's not a dictatorship. If Xi doesn't continue to provide results for the people. He doesn't stay in power. Americans have the wrong mindset when it comes to government. Their system isn't based off data. It's based off who runs a better election campaign to the public. The truth is not prioritized, perception is prioritized. When you don't have accountability. How can you build off your foundation when nothing is solid? This is why China progressed so fast in a short period. They have been analyzing data and figuring out what works. The US can't even prosecute slander because they can't prove what's truth or what isn't. This allows lies to be normalized as a tactic to demonize opponents. It's very toxic, unproductive and unaccountable.

The reporter was just asking for clarification on a factual point, that Biden called Xi a dictator before and if he still felt the same way. It was up to Biden how he answered. He could have been diplomatic about it but obviously he chose an answer not to his own Secretary of State's liking. You can also note that before this, Biden was giving up way too much info about the current Hamas-Israel situation for which he had to quickly apologize to Blinken. Biden's just not up to the task, no matter how much of a vulture you think the press is.
We could all do to learn from Ms Lande’s perspective. Let’s be real, the reason why we are so spun up about the word “dictator” is because it carries a slant and is derogatory. It implies that if we can use that word, we can tell ourselves that our sh*t smells good and theirs stinks. China’s government has reasons for all of its policies and strategies. The idea that Xi sits around randomly picking people to “oppress” is absurd. Yet that’s the sort of idea the word “dictator” implies and it’s an insult to the sheer workload and complexity of running the world’s most powerful countries. Videos covering China’s very real and profound local current events can be found all over UA-cam. Various English-speaking vloggers live and create content in China. We have more opportunities than ever before to see what it’s like there, yet some of us are happy burying our heads in the sand and telling ourselves that China is still stuck in the 1970s. It’s really your own loss.
I prefer to focus on the political context of the word myself, and the fact of the matter is, Xi Jinping rules his country with an iron fist. It's amusing that you reference vloggers in China as a credible source of the quality of life there, as it is common knowledge that media censorship is extremely strict in China, and this is evidenced in this very video we're commenting on (3:04). I'm astonished that you're trying to put a positive spin on Xi's Authoritarian leadership style, irrespective of the enormous scale and size of China, especially if you hail from a Western democratic nation-state. ua-cam.com/video/m5fsidSOJMw/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/ycrqXJYf1SU/v-deo.html
agreed as Freedom, democracy is actually totally missing in American politics and laws and Dictator also fully describe Biden and all the previous American presidents (at least the last 8 presidents).
Democracy is when usa installs puppets that are pro west, in africa middle east etc, reminder yourself how the current iran came to be in the first place for example, after their democratically elected leader was overthrown by the uk and us, same with the koreas, and majority of the middle east and south america
Sarah Lande is wise in that: 1) she focuses on a broader perspective with appreciation, and 2) she is constructive in her peacemaker role. May her tribe increase!
You’re a CCP agent lmao. All this woman did was twist words around and speak about Xi in a weird glorified way of controlling people. “How do you define a dictator” lmao….
Has anyone heard one single word Xi badmouthing leaders of other country, people or culture? Badmouthing is considered of very LOW character in Chinese culture! It seems to western media, lying is like breathing to them, badmouthing, belittling, demonizing, smearing countries, people and culture they don't like are the ways how they make their existence. US, a country built its dictator status of the world relying on its military power and exploitative dollar hegemony, doesn't have any concept of RESPECT to any other country, people and culture, also it demonstrates such a predatory and psychopathic nature that totally lack the ability of empathy, US ALWAYS project itself onto other. What US has accused of others, NONE it didn't do, hasn't been doing themselves!
President Xi loved to take his entourage in an old bus to visit villages & towns around China during her early development. I saw these as a student in Beijing in 2004 & was a teacher there for 15 more years. He rarely gave advance notice as he wanted to see how local officials did their jobs & how they treated the people under them. He spent time talking to villagers and visited their homes wherever he went. If none of you have ever visited or been to China, I highly recommend that you do. The more I hear of negative comments that are untrue , the more disgusted I feel.Most of our journalists have shallow or no knowledge of either China or Asian cultures & thinking. Xi has been quite transparent with Biden during this & Bali’s APEC discussions. As to venues, they were all mutually agreed upon. Many of our politicians and journalists are really talking rubbish about optics. Their ignorance of diplomatic etiquette & true friendship are appalling. Their condescending comments are unqualified & utterly nitwitted ! I’m an American who has lived and worked in multiple cities in China over 15 years. Visited 170 cities in total. When I first arrived as a student in Beijing in 2004, it had many villages like Singapore where I had grown up. Within a decade, all these villages in BJ were gone and high rise better quality housing, infrastructure were built & greatly improved. When I was there there were 3 subway lines. When I left a decade later for southern China, there are 23 subway lines. High speed rails were & still are built all across China, better than those in Japan & Europe where I too have lived. Everything is clean and things are managed better and better. People’s lives greatly improve each passing year. Most Chinese people are hardworking, willing to make sacrifices, & try hard to work efficiently to advance their country. Under Xi, I saw the continual crackdown of corruptions. Gov officials are always held at a higher standard than ordinary people. If one is found to be corrupt or even have an inkling of any extra marital affairs, they are finished and jailed!! Poverty are greatly reduced. China is divided into Tier 1 to Tier 5 cities. By the time I left last year, China has begun developing and improving Tier 4 cities. The speed and determination of President Xi’s gov to develop & improve the entire country and his citizens lives are truly amazing. China is now a capitalist-communist country. It is not a dictatorship. We have our Congress of 541 and they have their National People Congress of 2980. The difference between our system and China is that The People and The Country comes first. In ours, the politicians and their financial supporters come first. Too much infighting and bickering, our crime rates & homelessness have gone up while in China it’s low. When a country’s citizens live better lives, they become stronger, more creative and more willing to help others. China has been moving away from being a major polluter towards a cleaner, more environmentally friendly country with each passing year. Xi’s gov has been making great strides forward whereas we and the other major developed countries have either digress or stagnate !!! Even worse, Japan is now polluting our ocean waters with harmful nuclear wastewater!! Shameful ! 2 days ago, Japan drained her 3rd batch of 7800 tons of nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean again & 29 years more of 4 monthly 7800 tons discharge annually. You too will be affected. Eg Salmon lives in these oceans before going back to the river they spawn. They drink these nuclear wastewater too. You will eat them too. There are factions in Congress who wants to engage China militarily in the name of National security when it fact it’s profits they are thinking of. Do not let these people’s self centered, narcissistic, foolish ambitions mislead you. They care not if your sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, niece, nephews, love ones or friends die in the war they promote. Like Netanyahu, they will keep their own children somewhere safe but send yours out to die to promote & achieve their personal gain China has no desire for war but will not hesitate to defend herself & her interests vigorously.
Well said. Thank you for being the 0.5% of the world who would speak up for the unjust hate China and it’s leaders are receiving. I’m an American born and raised citizen too but I don’t feed into the Western media a lot because more than half the time or all the time, it is corrupt and only spewing false and misleading information on China causing Americans to dislike and hate them when our country is clearly pushing an agenda causing a rift between our people and Chinese people.

The most insightful comment she made about Chinese political power is that they believe that it's the only form of government that can keep peace and order in their country. China has done a tremendous job of growing it's economy since WW2. It's not our way of how a government should be run, but it's for the Chinese people to decide what's best for them. I know people are going to say they don't have a choice, but when any people aren't happy with their government they will eventually rise up. I believe all people around the world just want to live in peace and raise their children the best they can. Unfortunately, governments and their ideologies get in their way.

China's leaders are chosen, not elected. However, before he is eligible to be elected as the country's top leader, he needs to have leadership experience from local government, county, city, province, and then central government. It takes 30 to 40 years to become China's top leader. The Chinese president has more expertise in leading the country than the American president.
Calling Xi a dictator just because he wasn't elected through the exact same process as in so called western democracies is a big mistake. It is like saying that chinese characters are not legit just because we can't use them. I think China is showing the world good manners and leadership internationally and theres something wrong internally it is their bussiness. While the states and other countries have people sleeping under the bridges and high rates of violence on their streets I think they should mind their own bussiness first.

in other words: he may have imprisoned the internal opposition, okayed the Uyghur camps, and preside over some of the worst human rights violations, in addition to changing to law to stay in power, but if you call it dictator, which is what he clearly is, the US will not be able to make coordinated efforts to monitor the production and trafficking of illegal drugs along with other issues that may range from climate change to trade. Qualify it as wise, immoral, weak resistance against dictatorships, or pragmatic; but that's what that lady is saying.
exactly. I suspect that she's trying to advocate the interest of her old friend. Recently the Chinese government publicly complained about America blocking and returning the Chinese international students who the US consulate and/or US custom officers found evidence suggesting these people tie to the Chinese military. It's a sneaky but effective way to send its agents as visit scholars or students to the west to carry out its missions. Xi will be happy if more flights and his agents are allowed to come into the US.
The fucking problem is US has a politically-motivated double standard on who they want to label dictators, which they then used as tropes for demonization, stigmatization & political action (eg. sanctions). The oil-rich Arab Gulf states are all absolute monarchists making them also dictatorships. Do you see US politicians & media regularly tagging that label on them ?
I'm from China, and trust me, most people here don't necessarily agree with our leadership and our government in every decision they make. Yes, our leadership has a lot more authority than that of a typical western democracy, and admittedly there are flaws in our political system. But which system doesn't have any flaw? We may have different approaches of governing our societies, and we may enjoy different advantages and be plagued with different problems, but that should not be the reason for mutual animosity. I wanna give a round of applause to this lady from Iowa and her words of wisdom. We should focus on areas of cooperation and always make some room for communication and mutual understanding.
In your country one person decides how everyone is going to live. In our country the citizens decide how we are going to live. We like it this way and you like it your way. We live here and hopefully you still live there. As a matter of fact, maybe we should trade U.S. citizens who love your system for Chinese citizens who like ours. My guess is that we would end up with the most people.

@PremierCCGuyMMXVI If China is a dictatorship, what do you call America then? Its usually American leaders going round threatening everyone else with sanctions and war if other countries dont follow their rules. American leaders are complete hypocrites, always accusing other leaders of doing exactly what they are doing themselves. Think, if China is truly a dictatorship, do you really think she would have advanced as fast as she has these couple of decades. Take North Korea for instance, now thats a real dictatorship. hasnt progressed much since the 70s or even the 60s.
This woman is so wise and I genuinely (speaking as a Chinese) love and welcome Caucasian’s like this lady! She’s wise, experienced the world and isn’t closed minded and closed off. I think it’s a very good thing.
What we can’t deny is that Chinese leaders are devoted to people’s general interests, even though the method of leading is different from most of the western countries in the world. This is what we call ideology difference and Biden should understand and accept this difference.
Not quite Xi marks a change in Chinese leadership, away from shared power towards unified power. His rule has coincided with more militarisation, more oppressive measures, more surveillance and economic declines due to extremely harsh Covid measures... He "caree" about the Chinese people because economic prosperity is what stabilises his leadership, but he doesn't want to offer the Chinese actual political freedoms. And political freedoms is exactly what you need when things don't go well economically (which will happen due to China's population crisis). We see that in Russia, saw it in Hussein's Iraq. When people don't have a say in their government and economic stability is compromised the government becomes extremely violent and repressive. Xi "gives" his people things because he hasn't had to deal with an unhappy populace across China. But look how he dealt with Hong Kong, that's how he will deal with any unhappiness among the Chinese people. And if he decides to invade Taiwan and engage in a military and economic war, that other side of Xi will show itself all across China.
Let's call a spade, a spade.... A country can be an one party dictatorship or a multi parties democracy or a monarchy or an Islamic or whatsoever, as long as the leadership can bring peace, stability & development to the whole country & its people, IT'S A GOOD GOVERNMENT.
True... he is not just a dictator... lets just think about other issues like the Ouïghours, the missing peoples, the murders, Taïwan, the chinese relations with North Korea and with Putin and the Russia... this woman choose well her friends... damn 😢
Samanics is one word having more than one definition. It's very silly to play samanics. But what do you call mandatory abortions. And taking children from their parents for no other reason than too many. This is not liberal. This is reactionary. This is not a liberal leader. This is a reactionary leader.
International relations are based often on the quality of personal relations between leaders. And thus, the quality and depth of ties between two countries are the one, it's leaders entertain. That's why messages matters. A word, is a message. And that's why a job of a leader, of a Head of State is to measure the kind of message is being conveyed. You have the kind of relationship your mouth spits. How you chose your words shows the quality you wanna have with the leader of that country. So when Biden labels The Head of State of China as a "dictator" whether it's true or not, he's stepping aside of his job of a diplomat, and seems to favor the sirens or games of U.S internal politics over diplomacy, for his own political interests/survival on the U.S political scene and thus goepardize his relationship with his chinese counterpart.

I kind of like the idea of having one president without having to change every four years. It seems like everyone here in America who becomes president doesn't get the respect from the citizens. I feel as though the people of a country should respect the president, and a four-year term is like having someone new on the job who has to learn everything all over again. Having one president for a long term can allow them to focus on a main goal to move the country in that direction, instead of having different presidents every four years trying to implement something new. Look at China - one president, and their goal is to be a world power. They are thinking long term and focusing on that. And you can’t focus on one thing when we always have someone new running.
You can only do so much with 4 years and at the same time, the US president power is not absolute. The Senate and the Congress shares the other 1/3. This, creating a log jam time constraints where policy and timing matter. That is why democracy does not always works for other countries such as China. The bottom line is, China government system is working for their people.
It's about spontaneity. For citizens to become free, the head of the country needs to give up over-controlling. Democracy promotes facing the reality that not every citizen like the president. In a dictatorship, your death will be forgotten/hidden if you were up against the leader/leadership.
The word Dictator in modern times has this notion of a bad guy. Back in the days during the Roman Empire, Caesar was loved and proudly called by its people "Caesar the Dictator". The next king who ousted him turned that word against him and ever since then, that word has been associated with being a bad guy. US presidents and the rest of the world leaders dictates what's good for their country.

🤣🤣🤣 I prefer Kim Jung Un he was elected with 100% approval rating. No difference but better approval rating right? Kim grew up in Switzerland so he copied the system right?
I do want to point out that there is one major difference in China and its that ... for someone to rise to the rank of President, you can assure they are not some celebrity that people voted in because he's popular, or worry that he/she lacks experience and/or is incompetent. China, esp. gov sector, has always been a meritocracy. Before Xi became President, he was a governor of Fujian province, then governor and party secretary of neighboring province, Zhejiang, then interim party secretary of Shanghai.
I don’t consider him a dictator, I always thought he was a Chinese president with a lifetime presidency. But Biden is technically correct. If he is a dictator, he isn’t all that bad, there’s worse dictators out there.

@@Ultra_T21how about your geriatric president would not act in a hypocritical manner where on one hand, he calls the guy a dictator, and on the other, he jokes about Cadillacs?! 😂😂😂😂 hilarious!
The reporter was just asking for clarification on a factual point, that Biden called Xi a dictator before and if he still felt the same way. It was up to Biden how he answered. He could have been diplomatic about it but obviously he chose an answer not to his own Secretary of State's liking.
You can also note that before this, Biden was giving up way too much info about the current Hamas-Israel situation for which he had to quickly apologize to Blinken.
Biden's just not up to the task, no matter how much of a vulture you think the press is.
That is their job.
We could all do to learn from Ms Lande’s perspective. Let’s be real, the reason why we are so spun up about the word “dictator” is because it carries a slant and is derogatory. It implies that if we can use that word, we can tell ourselves that our sh*t smells good and theirs stinks.
China’s government has reasons for all of its policies and strategies. The idea that Xi sits around randomly picking people to “oppress” is absurd. Yet that’s the sort of idea the word “dictator” implies and it’s an insult to the sheer workload and complexity of running the world’s most powerful countries.
Videos covering China’s very real and profound local current events can be found all over UA-cam. Various English-speaking vloggers live and create content in China. We have more opportunities than ever before to see what it’s like there, yet some of us are happy burying our heads in the sand and telling ourselves that China is still stuck in the 1970s. It’s really your own loss.
Not embracing Communism is no one's loss.
I prefer to focus on the political context of the word myself, and the fact of the matter is, Xi Jinping rules his country with an iron fist.
It's amusing that you reference vloggers in China as a credible source of the quality of life there, as it is common knowledge that media censorship is extremely strict in China, and this is evidenced in this very video we're commenting on (3:04).
I'm astonished that you're trying to put a positive spin on Xi's Authoritarian leadership style, irrespective of the enormous scale and size of China, especially if you hail from a Western democratic nation-state.

So was Stalin, Stalin was calm and Putin is as well. Xi is a ruthless dictator man who will imprison or kill anyone who he wants.
How much does the CCP pay you for this comment?@@aluskysystems1129
Has anyone heard one single word Xi badmouthing leaders of other country, people or culture? Badmouthing is considered of very LOW character in Chinese culture! It seems to western media, lying is like breathing to them, badmouthing, belittling, demonizing, smearing countries, people and culture they don't like are the ways how they make their existence. US, a country built its dictator status of the world relying on its military power and exploitative dollar hegemony, doesn't have any concept of RESPECT to any other country, people and culture, also it demonstrates such a predatory and psychopathic nature that totally lack the ability of empathy, US ALWAYS project itself onto other. What US has accused of others, NONE it didn't do, hasn't been doing themselves!
President Xi loved to take his entourage in an old bus to visit villages & towns around China during her early development. I saw these as a student in Beijing in 2004 & was a teacher there for 15 more years. He rarely gave advance notice as he wanted to see how local officials did their jobs & how they treated the people under them. He spent time talking to villagers and visited their homes wherever he went.
If none of you have ever visited or been to China, I highly recommend that you do. The more I hear of negative comments that are untrue , the more disgusted I feel.Most of our journalists have shallow or no knowledge of either China or Asian cultures & thinking.
Xi has been quite transparent with Biden during this & Bali’s APEC discussions. As to venues, they were all mutually agreed upon. Many of our politicians and journalists are really talking rubbish about optics. Their ignorance of diplomatic etiquette & true friendship are appalling. Their condescending comments are unqualified & utterly nitwitted !
I’m an American who has lived and worked in multiple cities in China over 15 years. Visited 170 cities in total. When I first arrived as a student in Beijing in 2004, it had many villages like Singapore where I had grown up. Within a decade, all these villages in BJ were gone and high rise better quality housing, infrastructure were built & greatly improved. When I was there there were 3 subway lines. When I left a decade later for southern China, there are 23 subway lines. High speed rails were & still are built all across China, better than those in Japan & Europe where I too have lived. Everything is clean and things are managed better and better. People’s lives greatly improve each passing year. Most Chinese people are hardworking, willing to make sacrifices, & try hard to work efficiently to advance their country.
Under Xi, I saw the continual crackdown of corruptions. Gov officials are always held at a higher standard than ordinary people. If one is found to be corrupt or even have an inkling of any extra marital affairs, they are finished and jailed!! Poverty are greatly reduced. China is divided into Tier 1 to Tier 5 cities. By the time I left last year, China has begun developing and improving Tier 4 cities. The speed and determination of President Xi’s gov to develop & improve the entire country and his citizens lives are truly amazing.
China is now a capitalist-communist country. It is not a dictatorship. We have our Congress of 541 and they have their National People Congress of 2980. The difference between our system and China is that The People and The Country comes first. In ours, the politicians and their financial supporters come first. Too much infighting and bickering, our crime rates & homelessness have gone up while in China it’s low. When a country’s citizens live better lives, they become stronger, more creative and more willing to help others.
China has been moving away from being a major polluter towards a cleaner, more environmentally friendly country with each passing year. Xi’s gov has been making great strides forward whereas we and the other major developed countries have either digress or stagnate !!! Even worse,
Japan is now polluting our ocean waters with harmful nuclear wastewater!! Shameful ! 2 days ago, Japan drained her 3rd batch of 7800 tons of nuclear wastewater into the Pacific Ocean again & 29 years more of 4 monthly 7800 tons discharge annually. You too will be affected. Eg Salmon lives in these oceans before going back to the river they spawn. They drink these nuclear wastewater too. You will eat them too.
There are factions in Congress who wants to engage China militarily in the name of National security when it fact it’s profits they are thinking of. Do not let these people’s self centered, narcissistic, foolish ambitions mislead you. They care not if your sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, niece, nephews, love ones or friends die in the war they promote. Like Netanyahu, they will keep their own children somewhere safe but send yours out to die to promote & achieve their personal gain
China has no desire for war but will not hesitate to defend herself & her interests vigorously.
Agree 100%!
I agree with you too.
Well said. Thank you for being the 0.5% of the world who would speak up for the unjust hate China and it’s leaders are receiving. I’m an American born and raised citizen too but I don’t feed into the Western media a lot because more than half the time or all the time, it is corrupt and only spewing false and misleading information on China causing Americans to dislike and hate them when our country is clearly pushing an agenda causing a rift between our people and Chinese people.

The most insightful comment she made about Chinese political power is that they believe that it's the only form of government that can keep peace and order in their country. China has done a tremendous job of growing it's economy since WW2. It's not our way of how a government should be run, but it's for the Chinese people to decide what's best for them. I know people are going to say they don't have a choice, but when any people aren't happy with their government they will eventually rise up. I believe all people around the world just want to live in peace and raise their children the best they can. Unfortunately, governments and their ideologies get in their way.

China's leaders are chosen, not elected. However, before he is eligible to be elected as the country's top leader, he needs to have leadership experience from local government, county, city, province, and then central government. It takes 30 to 40 years to become China's top leader. The Chinese president has more expertise in leading the country than the American president.

in other words: he may have imprisoned the internal opposition, okayed the Uyghur camps, and preside over some of the worst human rights violations, in addition to changing to law to stay in power, but if you call it dictator, which is what he clearly is, the US will not be able to make coordinated efforts to monitor the production and trafficking of illegal drugs along with other issues that may range from climate change to trade. Qualify it as wise, immoral, weak resistance against dictatorships, or pragmatic; but that's what that lady is saying.
exactly. I suspect that she's trying to advocate the interest of her old friend. Recently the Chinese government publicly complained about America blocking and returning the Chinese international students who the US consulate and/or US custom officers found evidence suggesting these people tie to the Chinese military. It's a sneaky but effective way to send its agents as visit scholars or students to the west to carry out its missions. Xi will be happy if more flights and his agents are allowed to come into the US.
Its the truth... whats the fucking problem 🙄
It’s the republicans way of diverting attention away from their insanity
The fucking problem is US has a politically-motivated double standard on who they want to label dictators, which they then used as tropes for demonization, stigmatization & political action (eg. sanctions).
The oil-rich Arab Gulf states are all absolute monarchists making them also dictatorships. Do you see US politicians & media regularly tagging that label on them ?
I'm from China, and trust me, most people here don't necessarily agree with our leadership and our government in every decision they make. Yes, our leadership has a lot more authority than that of a typical western democracy, and admittedly there are flaws in our political system. But which system doesn't have any flaw? We may have different approaches of governing our societies, and we may enjoy different advantages and be plagued with different problems, but that should not be the reason for mutual animosity. I wanna give a round of applause to this lady from Iowa and her words of wisdom. We should focus on areas of cooperation and always make some room for communication and mutual understanding.
In your country one person decides how everyone is going to live. In our country the citizens decide how we are going to live. We like it this way and you like it your way. We live here and hopefully you still live there. As a matter of fact, maybe we should trade U.S. citizens who love your system for Chinese citizens who like ours.

@user. TOUCHE'!!!China's governance follows Confucianism's community based guidelines adopted by the great Deng Xiao & inspired by Singapore.
Not quite Xi marks a change in Chinese leadership, away from shared power towards unified power. His rule has coincided with more militarisation, more oppressive measures, more surveillance and economic declines due to extremely harsh Covid measures...
He "caree" about the Chinese people because economic prosperity is what stabilises his leadership, but he doesn't want to offer the Chinese actual political freedoms. And political freedoms is exactly what you need when things don't go well economically (which will happen due to China's population crisis).
We see that in Russia, saw it in Hussein's Iraq. When people don't have a say in their government and economic stability is compromised the government becomes extremely violent and repressive. Xi "gives" his people things because he hasn't had to deal with an unhappy populace across China. But look how he dealt with Hong Kong, that's how he will deal with any unhappiness among the Chinese people. And if he decides to invade Taiwan and engage in a military and economic war, that other side of Xi will show itself all across China.

This is not liberal. This is reactionary.
This is not a liberal leader. This is a reactionary leader.
International relations are based often on the quality of personal relations between leaders. And thus, the quality and depth of ties between two countries are the one, it's leaders entertain. That's why messages matters. A word, is a message. And that's why a job of a leader, of a Head of State is to measure the kind of message is being conveyed. You have the kind of relationship your mouth spits. How you chose your words shows the quality you wanna have with the leader of that country. So when Biden labels The Head of State of China as a "dictator" whether it's true or not, he's stepping aside of his job of a diplomat, and seems to favor the sirens or games of U.S internal politics over diplomacy, for his own political interests/survival on the U.S political scene and thus goepardize his relationship with his chinese counterpart.

I kind of like the idea of having one president without having to change every four years. It seems like everyone here in America who becomes president doesn't get the respect from the citizens. I feel as though the people of a country should respect the president, and a four-year term is like having someone new on the job who has to learn everything all over again. Having one president for a long term can allow them to focus on a main goal to move the country in that direction, instead of having different presidents every four years trying to implement something new. Look at China - one president, and their goal is to be a world power. They are thinking long term and focusing on that. And you can’t focus on one thing when we always have someone new running.
You can only do so much with 4 years and at the same time, the US president power is not absolute. The Senate and the Congress shares the other 1/3. This, creating a log jam time constraints where policy and timing matter. That is why democracy does not always works for other countries such as China. The bottom line is, China government system is working for their people.
It's about spontaneity. For citizens to become free, the head of the country needs to give up over-controlling. Democracy promotes facing the reality that not every citizen like the president. In a dictatorship, your death will be forgotten/hidden if you were up against the leader/leadership.

@@NealX_Gaming Don't tell me you have never reacted like that when a friend of yours made a very stupid remark and messed something very important up.
Someone finally has the brain who’s expressing wise and open minded opinion. Someone has a less annoying voice, voice in a sense of angle
Can you imagine that if having a conversation with someone who always just pay attention to individual word you say and keep pinpointing you why u using certain words… annoying right
@AtAGlance The ironic thing is, many average joe Americans have better sense of whats going on and how to do things than their own political elites. Does getting into power in the USA turn people into complete idiots??
Censorship must be a criminal offense in the United States. Our constitution specially defines our basic rights.
Every country has Censorship, including the U.S.
Don't be too naive
Define the censorship in the US. Communist clown@@cederkoru3435
say something about what Z*onists are doing in Gaza
We need censorship. Fox needs to be shut down and all these extreme nutcases on the far right need to be taken off the internet. The last 7 years of chaos have proven this.
@@Zzz-em6cy Don't do it. You will be censored. The majority of power and wealth are all in Z*onists' hands.
US presidents used to speak with careful articulation and now we have presidents that just run their mouth.
i remember when bernie sanders was called too old to be trusted to be president lol
In western context the direct elected appointee can win votes and became president from citizens. Likewise, in China public representative goes to ballet box and wins. Then, public representatives from all provinces select the leaders for the government . There's no difference I guess
You are smart and know about it. But many in USA did not know nothing about Chinese system. They will be surprise to know china has 8 political party and USA just 2-3 😂😂😂😂😂 . I bet they don’t know that
🤣🤣🤣 I prefer Kim Jung Un he was elected with 100% approval rating. No difference but better approval rating right? Kim grew up in Switzerland so he copied the system right?
I do want to point out that there is one major difference in China and its that ... for someone to rise to the rank of President, you can assure they are not some celebrity that people voted in because he's popular, or worry that he/she lacks experience and/or is incompetent.
China, esp. gov sector, has always been a meritocracy. Before Xi became President, he was a governor of Fujian province, then governor and party secretary of neighboring province, Zhejiang, then interim party secretary of Shanghai.
That wasn't off the cuff. That was fine. That's how Xi himself would put it if he had to. That it is what it is by no fault of its own.
Biden is Awesome!
Totally organic non-bot comment
I don’t consider him a dictator, I always thought he was a Chinese president with a lifetime presidency. But Biden is technically correct. If he is a dictator, he isn’t all that bad, there’s worse dictators out there.
This lady is so much wiser! Good for her! They cut her off!
Where's the lie though?😅
Xi is great and we wish for a great partnership with China and the US for world peace.
uh, xi jinping IS a dictator! how hard is that to understand???
For those who are blind to this CNN propaganda. Benjamen NeTanyahu. has served as Prime minister of Israel for over 16 years and also has no term limits. but no one calls him a dictator
I love how CNN can't show a simple video of Xi Jinping visiting a friend in Iowa, without a 5 minute uninterrupted US foreign policy propaganda before playing it.
Blinken look like he just got shot by gun with that expression😅.
Blinken was overreacting. Biden is in his old age and made a tactless comment. Nobody cares. He has done similar things many times and the Chinese will understand.
He only answered the truth
Brandon's kicking ass and telling the truth.
You mean projecting himself on Xi.
Thank God for President Biden 🇺🇸
It takes one to know one.
To compare the two is moronic
You can use whatever term you want but the fact is China has delivered economic growth of 3000% in the last 50 years, which is far higher than any other country.
They probably regret to put Sarah Lande on the show.
Diverting the question like a pro!
Sarah should run for something
Look at all the bots taking about nothing this video is about.
Keep your bears, we’re good.
He doesn’t know he is a dictator. That’s ridiculous.
Where to watch the full interview? Interview was cut short 🤔
A small-town woman can only know him on the level he wants her to know him. She also most likely does not understand the intricacies of politics, power structures or international diplomacy.
so biden should just speak his mind about a government he doesn't understand nor tries to understand due to his declining abilities then. lol
She has known him before he has even graduated college....
I think she knows him better than anyone else in the US
