Joe Biden, touting his foreign policy credentials on the campaign trail, recalled how he once told former President Barack Obama that “China is not our problem.”
Biden told a crowd of supporters in Iowa this past October about the time he tried to downplay the threat coming from the nation that now brings you possible economic ruin through non-containment of the coronavirus.
“We talked about China,” Biden relayed. “I said China is not our problem.”
“China is not our problem if we invest and remember who we are,” he continued. “Imagine the situation — I’ve spent more time with Xi Jinping than any world leader had before I left the vice presidency.”
Downplaying the China Threat
Biden has consistently downplayed any threat coming from China, economic or otherwise.
“I mean, you know, they’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what? They’re not competition for us,” he said at a rally shortly after he announced his bid for the presidency.
“China is going to eat our lunch?” Biden scoffed. “Come on, man.”

Dangerous Mindset
The fact that Biden made these comments recently – even the story of talking to Barack seems to indicate he still feels this way – has to put the Democrat frontrunner’s foreign policy credentials under a microscope.
While President Trump has been battling the coronavirus pandemic, Biden has been siding with Communist China.
- Biden recently released a coronavirus-focused statement attacking “Trump’s misguided trade war with China.”
- When President Trump placed travel restrictions on China on January 31 to slow the spread of the coronavirus, Joe Biden sided with the Chinese.
- When President Trump fought back against Chinese misinformation by accurately stating that the coronavirus originated there, Joe Biden sided with the Chinese.
- Biden campaign advisor Ron Klain praised China’s authoritarian government for its response to the virus, heralding the fact that it “built hospitals in two or three days.”

Remember, this is a nation that tried blaming the coronavirus crisis on American service members.
By contrast, when President Trump was asked why he insists on referring to COVID-19 as the “Chinese virus,” he defended our military men and women.
“China tried to say … [coronavirus] was caused by American soldiers,” he explained. “That can’t happen. It’s not going to happen, not as long as I’m President. It comes from China.”
Perhaps if Biden spent more time siding with America and denouncing irresponsible Communist regimes, this country could truly come together and find solutions in this dark time.

Creepy uncle Joey does not even know what planet he is on half the time, then add his shady Ukraine deal for his son, the fact he likes to put his hands on and sniff other peoples wives and daughters….and HE is the lefts candidate for POTUS?!?!
Just another US hating establishment leftist.
well I guess if China supports your whole family you don’t want to say nothing against them and this is a man that the Democrats want to be our president the man that sides with China over the US what a joke what a laugh unbelievable American people you better wake up you’re destroying your country and that’s aimed at you radical left not the ones that have good sense and our brain still function because we don’t have our heads up Obama’s butt once you pull your head out of Obama’s but then you will see the light and know the truth that you’re destroying this country that was Obama’s agenda to destroy the u.s. something the Muslims have promised to do since the beginning of America
Sleepy, Creepy Joe is hoping that he will be elected and he can hide what he has done with China, including helping is rotten son Hunter get financing from China. Financing that he evidently spent judging from his refusal to share with the courts his financial status.
His attitude toward China is self serving.
China would not be where it is today without the Chinese Agents in our elected offices. Just look at what the Clinton’s did while in office!
bud, you have a serious mental problem.
BS
Biden is correct. As Trump cuddles up to China , praises Xi and encourages America to have a government like China (he has publicly stated the the USA should have a President for life(which he has also stated that it is a dictatorship) and says the FBI and DOJ should work for him and go after his enemies and stop investigating his friends (sounds much like Stalin), not America, Biden still believes in the Constitution and America. Trump is doing everything humanly possible to see America fail and China become the new world leader and they are well on their track to being the world leader in global trade, already the leader producer of cars, wind power, solar power, high speed rail, air conditioners, TV’s, computers and Trump has helped them by increasing the costs of American products and driving our companies overseas.
Biden would not remember that.
Ehhh, China AND the Bidens AND other unscrupulous politicos are our problem(s)… not all of them but most of them.
China is a PROBLEM for the entire world!! The gov. does NOT check the FOOD SUPPLY for SANITATION and DISEASE!!If we can not force the COMMI gov to do this for it’s citizens WE should CLOSE our Boarders to them or test all coming from Aisian countries – to Protect our own citizens!
China many not be our problem, but Biden certainly is.
Ahhh, so quid pro Joe’s evidently become an indentured servant to the Chicoms? I doubt he’ll be much of a threat to our POTUS Donald J. Trump but hey, when the dust settles can we start cleaning out the vermin in our guv’ment. Oh, and can we establish term limits for those “career politicos”. 12 years maximum. Two term senator or six terms representative or any combination of both not to exceed 12 years total. A simple one time severance paycheck not to exceed four digits to the left of the decimal, no lifetime free health, no politico perks for life, no security,… nada. Just a quick “thank you” card or letter (if warranted) and a one way, coach class flight back to their home of record. Nothing more, nothing less. End the career politico!
Term limits… we need term limits!
Things you need to know: Hilary lost to a guy who had never run for anything before. The left went loony over that fact. So they tried to denounce him. Then they tried to impeach him. Now they’re trying to destroy the U.S. economy and blame him for it. Don’t believe their lies. Bernie Sanders is thrilled that America is in bread lines, losing their hard earned money and standing in line for things like water, bread, toilet paper, etc. If they can’t defeat him legally, they will do it illegally. Remember this November when you vote. This coronavirus was brought to you by the same people who want America turned into a Socialist country. Vote ’em out.
Of course China ain’t the problem not for plugs Biden anyway he sold this country out years ago just like Clinton him and his boy already made their millions
Joe Biden, “China is not the problem” from a man who “sold his office of VP along with his son Hunter, to China for billions of dollars of payoffs or bribes, with his quid pro quo, breaking our laws”!!!!! This truth will set us all free as American voters in the 2020 elections!!!!!!!….
BIDEN LOVE ORIENTAL PEOPLE!
I agree! A guy from Iran said he had a list of the people that took pay offs on that deal also.
After V.P Biden China trip How many of the Biden family & the Obama administration got under the table kicks backs. No one becomes that wealthy after being 8yrs. in the White House Think about it
That is one of the draw backs of people like Biden as VP his most important job was kissing up to the Chinese. Not negotiating for Americans. Nothing like plain speak from his senihest.
“groping on hold”… now that’s funny!
What else can we expect from a senile crook who appears to have put his groping on hold?
Of course he’d say this remark “defending” China…he’s a Democrat. And look at the people in the Obama administration who were pro-Mao Zedong AND pro-communist…
Biden is just a typical demmie loser…
My father was one of the very few soldiers stationed in China during World War Two – A Flying Tiger. During my childhood I saw hundreds of color slides of the country that he took over there whenever he had a chance to leave the army base. It was unbelievable how primitive it was. 95% of the population couldn’t read or write. Water buffalo were wandering around aimlessly in towns. People walking around in plain view with Leprosy. But you know what? My father told me lots of times that if we weren’t careful with China that someday in the not too distant future that China would overtake the USA and then soon after that they would take over the world. And that is EXACTLY what is happening. And Trump has been the only one to do anything about it.
China is his “strategic partner”. That is what the Democrats call China. Their “strategic partner” and mos favor nation.
Let’s leave the “F” word to the liberal left, okay?
“F” BIDEN!!!!
Just more rantings from a senile old man!
the whole world need to sue china
The Biden Crime Family is our problem. They are preventing holding the Chinese government accountable. Already,there is talk of COVID 19 victims suing China in Canada.
Biden is hallucinating which is what happens when you have dementia. Also he is a typical Dem. The Dems love illegals, foreign countries that bred terrorists, and communists. The longer Biden talks, the crazier he gets.
Biden is a sellout. Past and present
I’m sure it wasn’t just the son that got $$$$ from China.
Do you think he is China’s puppet?
It appears they have been pretty kind to the Bidens.
Hey Joe, where is Hunter??? Or should we ask: How much did the Bidens got from China???
Democrats spent the entire primary out there praising communism, Castro, communist “literacy programs” and now Biden shows more true colors thanks to all the money China siphoned his way. While people are broken, out of work, sick or dealing with a loss of a loved one, Americans WANT CHINAS BLOOD! We’re pissed, angry and a little scared of this virus. But China, they need to pay for this!!
Do you Democrats want Biden for President ? He sure know what he is talking about.
That Joke
Communist Joe is too far gone to be a president of anything.
I, as an ex intelligence officer, have a long file of good old uncle Joe and I can tell you all out there in good old trusting USA that Joe is not what he seems – he is as cute as a barrow – load on monkeys
His friends in the Media refuse for example to publish the fact that in December 2013 while he was having a 4 day “chat” with Xi Jin Ping the Bank of China were busy setting up a corporation to invest in the free trade zones of China which is now worth about 1.5 billion dollars -it is owned 50% by the Bank of China and 50 % by Rosemont Seneca ( shareholders are Devon Archer, Hunter Biden and John Heinz – stepson of THE John Kerry) and the company is called BOHAI HAVEST (RST) TRUST
I could go on and on but what is the use this man who might well be our next President is being shielded by the mainstream Media which fact is probably the most scary to we freedom loving Americans
Once again, opening the doors to China was a terrible mistake. It gave that nation power and tons of money at the expense of our economy and jobs besides the huge debt $$$ we owe them. All this created a dependency that it’s keeping us exposed and we can’t afford such posture.
I’m not a republican, I’m and independent conservative voter. Have been all of my adult life. I will be voting the strongest conservative in each politico race again in the fall. I won’t be tossing my vote away on any folks who aren’t conservatives. Our POTUS Donald J. Trump will definitely get my vote again. KAG2020 TRUMP2020
SEND THE DEMORATS TO CHINA TO EAT “BAT STEW”!!!
I think all democrats have their heads in the sand. Seems they blame America for everything. This is why we need Republicans to unite and win this 2020
China Virus! China Virus! China Virus! China Virus! China Virus! etc…etc…etc…!
When is Trump going to learn to say the opposite? i.e China is not a threat! Then the Left will say “Yes They Are!”
Since he is on Chinese payroll he will sing their song. That is the problem today; too many people are receiving chinese money and pushing the regime.
Truth is, Biden has enormous investments in China. He’s basically acting as an agent for a foreign power without being registered as one. Strictly illegal of course. But breaking the law for his own benefit has never been a problem for Joe Biden.
The Chinese aren’t the problem, it’s their Communist Government that is the problem.
