Important Takeaways:

  • US-China Summit Turns Sour as Biden Calls Xi ‘Dictator’, China Vows to Take Over Taiwan
  • The summit began with the two leaders taking a much friendlier tone after months of rising tensions, with President Biden sounding optimistic.
  • They agreed on a new push to crack down on the export of the deadly drug fentanyl from China to the US.
  • President Xi Jinping said China is ready to be a partner and friend of the United States.
  • China could use a friend. Foreign businesses and capital have been fleeing China at a record pace.
  • The two leaders also agreed to resume military-to-military communications, after they were cut off last year following then House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan.
  • Things got hotter when a reporter asked the president if he would still refer to Xi as a “dictator.”
  • Biden answered, “Well, look, he is, in that he’s a dictator who runs a country that is a communist country that’s based on a form of government that is completely different from ours.”
  • The Chinese government responded swiftly and forcefully calling the “dictator” label “extremely wrong” and vowing China would be “unstoppable” in eventually retaking Taiwan, something President Biden has vowed to stand against.
