Video/ Biden calls the Chinese president a dictator, here's Blinken's epic reaction

A clip from the press conference given by Joe Biden after the 4-hour meeting he had with Xi Jinping, has caused a stir on social networks, as the American president saw fit to say that he continues to see his Chinese counterpart as a "dictator", a a statement that has angered Beijing in the past.

The US president's specific comment came in response to a question from a reporter who wanted to know if Biden still considers the Chinese leader a "dictator", as he had stated earlier this year.

"He is a dictator in the sense that he rules a country, a communist country, where the form of government is completely different from ours," the US president said, surprising those who expected him to focus only on the positives of the summit and to raise his results.

One of the reasons the clip has gone viral on Twitter is Blinken's reaction to Biden's public admission that he still feels the same way about Xi Jinping.

Many commentators "saw" deep disappointment in Blinken's downcast gaze, speculating that the US president's statement was an extremely unpleasant surprise for him after many months of hard work to make this meeting happen!

"I'm dying of shame", "looks like he's going to hide" are some of the comments that describe Secretary Blinken's "anxiety expression".

"The style of a man who knows he's got a night on the job," notes another commenter.

The four-hour meeting, in a luxurious place about forty kilometers from San Francisco, was "constructive and productive", according to Mr. Biden.

The 80-year-old Democrat also said the two men now have the ability to pick up the phone and speak "directly and directly" to each other in a crisis.
