Earlier, the elder Biden was suspected of suffering from Alzheimer's disease, and he often became dizzy in international occasions and could not find the north.
However, now he has done another ridiculous thing, at the closed-door meeting of the "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" (QUAD) between the United States, Japan, India and Australia, President Biden accidentally "leaked" his true views on China because he did not realize that the microphone was not turned off.
Biden said to the other three countries with a serious expression: "China is always taking aggressive actions, and they are testing me throughout the region, testing the United States, testing our alliances, in the East China Sea, the South China Sea, and especially in the Taiwan Strait." ”
This originally private discussion, because Biden forgot to turn off the microphone, became the focus of global scramble.
Previously, the joint statement of the four countries also repeatedly emphasized that China would not be mentioned in the meeting, but in the face of Biden's "true words", this cover-up paled in the face of Biden's exposed "truth".
Netizens ridiculed this: "This old man is very bad!" ”
Biden's "Truth Say" Exposed
Biden's summit in Delaware, which was supposed to be a high-profile diplomatic occasion, revealed his true views because the microphone was not turned off.
When Biden talked about China, his rhetoric was full of confrontation, and the tense atmosphere of the meeting made Biden's sharp words appear to be "outspoken" about China.
He pointed out that China's activities in the South and East China Seas are "aggressive", which is not only a threat to regional security, but also a direct challenge to United States and its allies.
Such a statement is like a provocative declaration, and what is even more striking is that Biden expressed his dissatisfaction with China's rapid development when talking about the economy and technology.
He stressed that as China continues to make breakthroughs in high-tech fields, United States' leading position is under threat.
Biden also referred to China's "tactical change" in international affairs, which, in his view, is not accidental, but the result of China's far greater influence on the global stage.
While Biden's communications with other leaders should have remained private, this lapse put their discussions in the public eye.
In Biden's speech, the strong dissatisfaction with China revealed is actually an unintentional exposure of United States's own weaknesses.
In the face of China's rapid development, instead of adopting a more calm and strategic thinking, he chose the line of direct conflict.
His "truth-telling" not only did not enhance the prestige of United States, but instead cast doubt on the ability of its policies.
Biden's attempt to project an image with a tough stance has instead shown the incompetence and unease of a leader in the face of pressure.
In this challenging era, it is simply impossible to resolve deep-seated contradictions and problems by relying solely on emotional catharsis, and the future development of China-US relations requires sincere mutual understanding and sincere mutual assistance.
With the exposure of Biden's remarks, news reports have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and major media have carried out special reports to analyze the far-reaching impact of this incident.
In just 24 hours, the number of views of the relevant report exceeded 100 million, and social media was in full swing, which inspired a fierce collision of comments from all sides.
Not only that, but the incident also brought an unexpected entertainment effect, with many social media users interpreting Biden's "microphone gate" in a humorous way, and even making all sorts of hilarious short videos and memes to make this serious topic light-hearted and fun.
This kind of banter, although it seems to be relaxed on the surface, also reflects the public's deep-seated concern and thinking about this incident.
The embarrassing situation of Shikoku
Biden's "bluntness" brought endless embarrassment to the joint statement of the four countries, and although the statement repeatedly emphasized that China was not explicitly mentioned, this cover-up paled in the face of Biden's exposed "truth".
At the closed-door meeting of the "Quadrilateral Security Dialogue" between the United States, Japan, India and Australia, Biden's "sincere words" inadvertently revealed the contradictions between the four countries in their foreign policies.
Originally, Biden tried to counter China's influence by uniting as one, but because of an unexpected gaffe, it instantly became ridiculous, and a sense of embarrassment arose.
The leaders of the other three countries thought that this meeting would provide them with a stage to show their unity, but Biden's outspokenness turned the occasion into a discussion meeting on how to sanction China.
Originally, the leaders of the other three countries originally hoped to take this opportunity to strengthen various cooperation and exchanges between each other and enhance economic exchanges, but Biden's words brought a sudden pressure.
Their expressions seemed helpless at that moment, trying to show that they were not affected, but it was difficult to hide the crampedness in their hearts.
What was supposed to be an expression of solidarity and cooperation now highlights the differences in China policy and raises questions about whether the four countries can really be united on China.
As the United States election approaches, Biden's performance on the international stage is not only related to his political career, but may also affect the future of the QUAD.
If Trump returns to the White House, the stability of the Quad cooperation will undoubtedly be tested.
Experts are full of doubts about this, believing that in an uncertain international environment, Biden's tough attitude may bring greater challenges to relations between countries, which is not conducive to the stable development of the world.
As the global situation develops, countries may face unforeseen geopolitical changes.
Factors such as regional conflicts, economic sanctions, and trade wars can have a profound impact on state-to-state partnerships, and the future situation will be even more unpredictable.
China's response
Biden's strong accusations at the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue quickly aroused China's attention and reaction, and in the face of this sudden incident, the Chinese Foreign Ministry took a decisive and clear stance to calm the concerns of the outside world and safeguard the dignity and interests of the country.
In response to Biden's remarks, a spokesperson for the Chinese Foreign Ministry quickly reiterated China's basic position, stressing that cooperation between countries should conform to the trend of peace and development, rather than create confrontation and conflict.
This attitude is not only a counterattack to Biden's tough rhetoric, but also a powerful response to the four-nation joint statement, showing that China will never back down in the face of external pressure.
In particular, China pointed out that the international community should not handle complex international relations in a "small circle" manner, and called on all countries to strengthen mutual trust and cooperation instead of relying on exclusive means.
Such a statement is not only a criticism of the policies of the four countries, but also demonstrates China's commitment to openness and inclusiveness in global governance, and seeks to provide new perspectives and methods for international cooperation.
China's response also cited concerns about the situation in the East and South China Seas, and the mainland said that the meddling and military exercises of certain foreign countries had exacerbated regional instability.
Such a statement is intended to remind the international community that the maintenance of regional security and peace requires the joint efforts of all countries, not through confrontation and hostility.
At the same time, the mainland also took this opportunity to reiterate the importance of promoting the common development of all countries under the framework of multilateral cooperation.
The mainland firmly believes that cooperation and dialogue are the best way to resolve international disputes, rather than mutual accusations and antagonism.
