I’m sure Xi is beyond having his feelings hurt by Biden, but just look at Bilken’s reaction lmao.
Inviting a head of state to your country to publicly insult them is unacceptable anywhere, so this is only going to further tarnish the shitty reputation of American diplomacy.
The benefit of Trump over Biden as a president is that there’s always a chance that Trump accidentally does something good out of vanity or incompetence or laziness, whereas Biden will always follow the same playbook that continues to make everything terrible. Like, I could easily see Trump hearing about the pro-Palestinian protests and saying something off-the-cuff that criticizes Israel or is supportive of Palestine, because he doesn’t actually care either way except insofar as it affects what people say about him in the moment.
