      It’s like calling him a Winnie the Pooh, everyone knows that he looks like it, but he absolutely hates it.

        although I like the Pooh comparison, it technically is an insult. Calling him a dictator on the other hand is a fact.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Biden held a solo news conference after four hours of talks with Xi on the outskirts of San Francisco.

    “This statement is extremely wrong and irresponsible political manipulation,” foreign ministry spokesperson Mao Ning told reporters on Thursday at a routine briefing.

    Last March Xi clinched a third term as president when nearly 3,000 members of China’s rubber-stamp parliament, the National People’s Congress, voted unanimously for him in an election in which there was no other candidate.

    There was no immediate reaction from the Chinese delegation, which had come to the United States to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco.

    When Biden made a similar dictator reference in June, China called the remarks absurd and a provocation.

    But the spat did not prevent the two sides from holding extensive talks aimed at improving strained relations, which culminated in Wednesday’s meeting.


    The original article contains 353 words, the summary contains 142 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!

      China has been about to fall anyday for the last decade. Maybe I’m a skeptic but I doubt it will happen.
