Washington, D.C. - Today, Congressman Carlos Gimenez issued the following statement after U.S. President Joe Biden met with the Chinese Communist Party dictator, Xi Jinping, at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) summit in Lima, Peru. As a member of the Select Committee on the Strategic Competition between the U.S. and the Chinese Communist Party, Congressman Gimenez is appalled by the Biden-Harris Administrations continued friendship with global communists, dictators, and murderous. 

"President Joe Biden has just handed murderous Communist Chinese dictator, Xi Jinping, a public relations victory at the APEC summit," said Representative Carlos Gimenez. "The Biden-Harris Administration has been abysmally weak in countering the direct threat posed by Communist China. Communist China corrals Uyghurs in concentration camps, persecutes the Tibetan people, threatens our ally Taiwan, and attempts to be the world's dominant military and economic power by the year 2049. The United States must decouple from Communist China and lead from a position of strength."
