Is a musical mark at the is a musical mark at the CNN town Hall on Tuesday, Joe Bi asked about the ongoing in China and, according to Joe Biden, is just a cultural norm over there no big deal, no american president can be sustained as a president if he doesnt reflect the values of the United States, and so the idea im not going to speak out against what he is doing in Hong Kong. What hes doing in the western mountains of China and Taiwan the one China policy, he gets it culturally. There are different norms of each country that leaders are expected to follow cultural norms for each country,
author of the great: U Dot S, China, Tech Wall, Gordon, the previous administration said that China was committing. The new administration says genocide against they get harvested for their body parts, but the new administrations position is that this is just a slight variation in: U Dot S chinese cultural norms, oh clearly, by suggesting that those crimes against humanity flow from different cultural norms. What Joe Biden was saying is that Chinas culture is brutal. Also, he was saying that it was racist. Im sure Joe Biden who talks about white supremacy, he actually got very dangerously close to expressing white
supremacists sentiment. A lot of Americans are just its offensive to Chinese its offensive to chinese people, but this is not what they do is not the act of a repressive communist regime, but just something that apparently chinese people in general are partial to. Why is there no objection from chinese Americans? Well, many of them actually are really upset about this, and you can understand why its a cultural generalization now that generalization was wrong, but its all sorts of things as you point out what we are seeing in crimes against humanity, organ harvesting, its a result of a communist system. It is not a result of Chinese for generations and generations
being genocidal maniacs. The treatment of the uighurs completely silent on this, presumably because they like their chinese money and they prioritize Beijings interest of muslim solidarity. So when America actually checks out of objecting to what is going on, who speaks up for the uighurs? Who is there to actually argue what China is doing if it is, is a subject of international concern? Well, the people who speak out mark you and others, and because we have a government right now that is not willing to do that. Secretary of State, MIKE Pompeo made that determination and claims crimes against Humani that really inspired people around the world. What we are hearing from the Biden administration is really uninspiring.
It is one of the most disappointing thing is perhaps the most disappointing thing that I have heard from an american president. I just couldnt believe it that is really quite an extraordinary statement. Gordon. Thank you very much for joining.
