Blinken's Reaction to Biden's Labeling of Xi as a Dictator: Mullen Agrees with 'Wincing'

Former Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Mike Mullen agrees with Secretary of State Antony Blinken's reaction to President Biden calling Chinese President Xi Jinping a dictator, stating that name-calling at that level is unhelpful and disrespectful. Biden referred to Xi as a dictator after their recent meeting, where they discussed military communication and fentanyl issues. China has expressed opposition to the comments. Mullen praised the meeting but warned that the relationship between the two countries could remain difficult in the future.
