From the International Occasions, mouthpiece of the Chinese language Communist Occasion;
Biden’s apology in Glasgow exhibits hypocrisy, powerlessness of US politicians

US President Joe Biden apologized in the beginning of the COP26 UN local weather summit. On Monday, when Biden made the remarks throughout a gathering on “motion and solidarity” in Glasgow, he stated, “I assume I shouldn’t apologize, however I do apologize for the actual fact the US, underneath the final administration, pulled out of the Paris accord.” What a “noble” apology, which made Biden seem to be he cares about local weather change, but additionally how hypocritical and powerless he’s.
In contrast to what Biden could have anticipated, the apology triggered ridicule. Fairly a couple of netizens, together with these from the US, claimed they can not wait till 2024 when the Republican Occasion, and even Donald Trump himself, apologizes for Biden’s apology. Most individuals imagine this was hardly an apology, however a slap within the face of his predecessor, a transfer to pin all of the blame on Trump. This isn’t about how sorry Biden is. He was making a present and bringing US political infighting to the worldwide area.
Local weather change is likely one of the most extremely polarizing points within the US. Main Republicans, most notably Trump, have mocked the difficulty as a hoax and are reluctant to take it severely. In March, 12 Republican-led states sued Biden for his government orders on local weather change.
So if there may be something that Biden did convey to Europe, it should be an enormous 85-car and gas-guzzling motorcade. Apart from that, Biden can solely make empty guarantees at COP26. His apology doesn’t make any sense, as he has no plan to satisfy his guarantees and no assure to ensure that his dedication received’t be toppled by the following administration. Worse, he can’t even win sufficient help from his personal get together to get a inexperienced mild for his plan. Additionally on Monday, Democratic Senator Joe Manchin, chairman of the Senate Committee on Power and Pure Assets, stated he wouldn’t endorse a $1.75 trillion framework on social spending and local weather change unveiled by Biden final week. For Biden, who’s in Europe and ready for one thing to ship to the world, that is heavy blow.
…
Is there a worst president of the US? Maybe there isn’t any “worst” however solely “worse.” American voters at all times have excessive expectations throughout elections however will quickly turn out to be pissed off. Can a US president flip the tide? It’s worrying. However one factor is for certain – political infighting will proceed, which is exhausting US energy in coping with home and world points.
There shall be extra apologies from US politicians, and there shall be extra kneeling down, Xu stated.

The International Occasions article additionally attacked President Trump. However China’s mockery of Biden is a geopolitical assertion of authority which your complete world is watching. Biden’s absurd local weather apology and helplessness within the face of brazen Chinese language aggression dangers making America a world laughing inventory.
The mockery began with Xi Jinping personally snubbing the COP26 occasion, then continued when Xi’s representatives snubbed Biden’s local weather proposals, demanding a huge payoff to even think about the proposals. Now they’re laughing at Biden’s local weather apology, calling Biden powerless, mocking the USA as “kneeling down” earlier than China.
Probably the most stunning a part of this affair, Biden clearly went into the COP26 convention fully unprepared for Chinese language aggression. There are many diplomatic levers Biden may have used to push again in opposition to China, starting from a gentle ratcheting up of sanctions, proper as much as the final word comeback, dropping a touch the USA is contemplating granting full diplomatic recognition to Taiwan. However pushing again would possible trigger a right away Chinese language COP26 walkout. Biden is so determined for a local weather deal, China is laughing in Biden and America’s face on the world stage, and everyone seems to be watching China get away with it.
