White House Acknowledges Growing CCP Influence, Says Biden Wants Meet With Xi

According to the White House’s assertions, Communist China is actively seeking influence around the globe and President Joe Biden would like to meet with its leaders.

The White House acknowledged that the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP), is working hard to build its international reputation after a CCP-mediated deal to reestablish diplomatic links between Saudi Arabia and Iran.

“China has made no secret of the fact that it wants to expand its influence around the world, whether that’s in Africa, Latin America, or the Middle East,” John Kirby, National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, stated this in a March 17th press conference.

Kirby stated that the CCP was using this newly negotiated deal to boost its propaganda standing. Kirby declined to answer questions about whether the deal was part the wider strategy of the CCP to undermine the United States and expand its legitimacy.

“I would be cautious in speculating that there’s some sort of grand strategy afoot,” Kirby stated.

“It’s more a part of their attempts to increase their influence and to look as though their influence is in fact increasing.”

The announcement of this surprise deal comes after the CCP failed attempt to position themselves as peace brokers in the ongoing Russian invasion of Ukraine.

The regime issued a 12-point rating “peace plan” Even though he had never met with Ukrainian officials regarding the matter, he sent it in February. This document reiterated several Russian propaganda points and said that the United States and its NATO members were to blame for the war.

“There are some things I disagree with, that I think the entire world disagrees with,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the Ukrainian President, spoke at the time about the document.

“[But] I want to believe that China is going to side with the idea of peace and fairness, which is our side.”

However, the White House has taken note of the CCP’s increased engagement in international affairs and efforts to rally authoritarian power against the United States.

Kirby stated that the Biden administration was still in the initial stages of arranging an in-person meeting with Xi Jinping, the CCP leader.

“The President has said he wants to talk to President Xi in the near future,” Kirby said. “We will work to set that up.”

“To my knowledge there’s been no outreach to the Chinese to work on the logistics at this point.”
