Far-left American President Joe Biden is “desperately seeking talks with China on all fronts” to prevent an unforeseen controversy between Washington and Beijing from hurting his 2024 reelection bid, the Chinese state-run Global Times newspaper contended on Thursday.
The Global Times cited Chinese Communist Party-approved “expert” opinions asserting that Biden is concerned that Republicans will be able to make the case that they would manage the relationship with America’s top geopolitical adversary more responsibly, especially after significant percentages of Americans expressed disapproval of Biden’s handling of an invading Chinese espionage balloon over the continental United States in early 2023. Biden allowed the balloon, which China continues to insist was a civilian “meteorological” aircraft, to traverse the country from Montana to the Atlantic Ocean, flying over critical American military sites, before shooting it down.
