That Time Joe Biden Said China Is Not America’s Problem

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.”

China’s lies in dealing with coronavirus and allowing it to spread unchecked are not only eating our lunch but costing Americans their jobs and paychecks.

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.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Dufus Biden has never been known to make intelligent decisions, national or international. His recent comments are a clear indication of that. Also makes one wonder about the total price for the Hunter Biden $1.5B deal. If he had an IQ higher than a rock, he might understand the problem after looking a some of the China issues, starting with the coronavirus issue, then going on to China shooting our planes, building islands in the East China sea trying to control the area, bullying their neighbors, wholestealing of our top secret data (we carry most of the blame on that). I’d go on, but I’m afraid I may have already overtaxed his feeble brain.

  4. This POS Biden is on the payroll of China through his son and other family members, this is a proven fact that the demo-RATS are constantly trying to cover-up but is a matter of public record. The amounts and the countries that have control over Biden is staggering and this is the POS of “never did anything” in his obnoxious years in Washington as part of the swamp. Even in his term as vice president he did not do anything. QUID-PRO-QUO Biden!!!!!!!

  5. Joe China Cabal Biden; not sure what you’re saying about how Pres. Trump is handing this pandemic? This is real, it really a weaponized virus.                                           
      Dr. Li Wenliang, who was hailed a hero for raising the alarm about the coronavirus in the early days of the outbreak, has died of the infection.
    His death was confirmed by the Wuhan hospital where he worked and was being treated, following conflicting reports about his condition on state media. So why was he arrested? Well, it was ‘releasing state or should I say ‘Deep State secrets. Hmm, I wonder what state secret he was accused of releasing?
    Dr. Li, 34, tried to send a message to fellow medics about the outbreak at the end of December. Three days later the police paid him a visit and told him to stop. He returned to work and caught the virus from a patient. He had been in the hospital for at least three weeks.
    Dr. Li Wenliang posted his story from his hospital bed last month on social media site Weibo. This young Dr. died February 7, 2020 one of his last acts was to attempt to tell the World what Chi-coms had released upon the World. They like you, the mainstream DNC media is disgustingly still carrying the Bolshevik disease “water bucket” for the Chi-coms, to advance the globalist agenda of the Deep State and lie to the World and the brainwashed, that a communist government would not only weaponize a virus but when it got out to your Communist business buds, suppress it, to all.

  6. I think Joe is both corrupt and functionally deficient.It is an honor to be the U.S. President.Joe does not measure up. He’s getting senile to boot.

  7. We can ONLY send ’em home …..IF AMERICAN VOTERS –KICK THEIR A$$ OUT OF CONGRESS!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!!…..WE PUT ‘EM IN..WE CAN TAKE ‘EM OUT ..IT’S UP TO US….NOT POTUS!!!

  8. SORRY TO SAY……..MANY AMERICANS ARE “STUPID” and PUT THE REST OF US AT RISK…IT’S LIKE THEY ARE “JUST ALONG FOR THE RIDE”–they cry BOO-HOO and the GOV. puts “FREE STUFF” IN THEIR HAND!!
    THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS HAD BETTER “WAKE UP” BY NOV…..OR CALL IT QUITS FOR AMERICA!!!

  9. 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!!

  10. 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

  11. the liberal media won’t share that part, it looks bad for china, their communist buddy. you would think during a time of national health crisis the liberal media could drop their stupid agenda and support our president and help the country, but no, their just all about hatred and division.

  12. LOL!!! Yea, right. It’s spent. He’ll most likely have to “account” for it. I’d suggest we just send the Chinese what they’ll probably ask for, Hunter and Joe (after the Chinese make their official request to our country followed by subpoenas and/or international arrest warrants, etc.) and send them packing… one way! I just wouldn’t eat anything made in China and shipped here for consumption for awhile. You know, like prepackaged Chinese meals, etc.

  13. 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

  14. If I recall the ranchers won that bout. I know that was one of those “protests” that I was ready to head down there and participate in… and would have had the guv’ment not caved. The wanted to shut the land down because of some bird or insect or something that they claimed was only found “there”. Seems to me, if I recall correctly that the critters were found in quite a few places other than there AND it was proven that the Solar “farms” would have a much greater impact on the environment than the ranchers. But yeah, I also read/heard that China was heavily involved with the Bidens on that whole ruse and Biden was doing all he could to “make it happen” for the Chinese at our, and our rancher’s expense.

  15. 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

  16. 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!

  17. Remember Harry Reid of NV. & his son China deal in the guise of the Ranchers BLM rented land and the deined the cattle men grazing. Something about the Chinese businessmen wanting to lease or buy the land to build Solar on that land. What ever happened there????

  18. 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.

  19. 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!

  20. 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.

  21. 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

  22. 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!!!!!!!….

  23. That is also why the democrats are so desperate to get rid of President Trump . He is exposing all their illegal under the table money deals. Always follow the money

  24. 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

  25. 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.

  26. 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…

  27. And they made the 80% of the antibiotics that we use in this country. God help them when their Three Gorges Dam collapses because they built it right on a major earthquake fault!

  28. And so is Biden looking at his watch, giving 6 hours to the Ukrainian government to fire the prosecutor investigating his son or $1 billion in aid to them would be completely halted.

  29. 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.

  30. John Lloyd Scharf

    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.

  31. 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.

  32. 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.

  33. 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

  34. 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.

  35. 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.

  36. Biden proves more everyday he is out of touch with reality. He would sell our country out to the Chinese Government in his first 90 days if he was elected president.
    We need to temper all the environmental laws a little so stuff can be manufactured here where there are actually environmental and safety controls. I would rather restructure rules here that are way to strict than import stuff that is polluting another part of the world.
    In the Liberals one world government strategy we would wind up paying to clean up China because we bought all that stuff and they would want the end user responsible to pay for clean up not the greedy companies that manufactured it. They claim America has capitalist greed apparently they don’t see what the rest of the world does. The Liberals want us to be like China as long as their group controls everything.

  37. What do you expect he and his son got 1.5 billion dollars don’t want to upset his crime family cash cow
    Commiecrats need to be hung for treason for covering for Chinese corrupt government

  38. Biden has a very long history of being almost perfectly wrong on every Foreign Policy issue over the course of multiple Presidents. He almost always gets it wrong. His view on China is not surprising given the Chinese gave his son over $,100,000,000.

  39. God help us if Biden wins the general election! We will go underground again and give back to China or rather keep China in control of the manufacture and supply of much of what we consume just like Biden and Obama did during Obama’s 8 year reign. Do Americans think that this is a good idea? Are there Americans who are this incredibly naive or obtuse enough to actually believe “China is not our problem.”.
    Hopefully, there is wake up medicine our current administration can infuse within our water supplies to take away the mental blinders that many wear. Politics aside how can anyone not see that China is trying to take advantage of America’s obsession over short term profit margins in place of our overall security?????

  40. Quid pro quo JOE and people like him, his son for instance, are THE PROBLEM. FLIMSY GRAHAM IS TOO. POLITICIANS SELLING OUT AMERICA AND AMERICANS ARE A HUGE PROBLEM. THEY CAN NO LONGER BE TOLERATED.

    GO HOME YOU CORRUPT POLITICIANS.

  41. I was also just thinking about all the pressure that was beginning to pile up on Hunter, Joe and potentially many more who were involved with China and Ukraine and then boom! We suddenly have this international distraction taking all the attention away from everything else going on.

  42. BluePopsicle, if you want the documented FACTS, watch THE DEMOCRATS’ HYDRA and UKRAINE, THE FINAL PIECE on utube. Completely documented and all the pieces come together. g

  43. Of course Joe is going to defend China, it is a matter of record that just 10 days after this Beijing trip, Hunter Biden’s firm Rosemont Seneca secured a $1 billion investment from the state-owned bank of China, which was later expanded to $1.5 billion.

  44. Joe is senile. He was referring to the dinner plates that someone broke the day before they moved out and Barry needed to pay for. Joe said, “The china is not our problem.”

  45. Is this the same Joe Biden who arraigned for his son to start a billion dollar investment co in China that many politicians including Feinstein, Watters, Schiff, Pelosi and othe California Democrats made millions with. Now we know why they tried so hard to impeach Trump. Chinese investments! That’s why they have wanted Trump out. Its effecting there corruption and kickbacks.

  46. “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…..LOL! So Muncle Hoe wants to give them your jobs…AND your money!
