Chinese ambassador to the US “made serious representations and strong protests to senior officials of the White House and the US Department of State on June 21” following President Biden’s comments likening Chinese President Xi Jinping to a dictator
The statement, released Thursday, strongly rebukes the comments made by Biden, calling it a “smear” that “seriously contradicts basic facts, breaches diplomatic etiquette, infringes on China’s political dignity, runs counter to the commitments made by the US side, and undermines mutual trust.” Speaking at a fundraiser in California, Biden compared the Chinese leader to a dictator, and claimed Xi was “embarrassed” because he was unaware of the spy balloon that transited the US earlier this year.
“The Chinese government and people feel deeply affronted and firmly oppose it.” “We urge the US side to immediately take earnest actions to undo the negative impact and honor its own commitments. Otherwise, it will have to bear all the consequences,” it says. “President Biden said explicitly before that the United States respects China’s system, does not seek to change it and has no intention for a new Cold War,” it said.
