On Morning Biden Takes Over, China Posts Message Confirming He Was Its Choice:

An official Chinese government news source posted a tweet Wednesday revealing the communist regime was thrilled about President Joe Biden taking office.

Xinhua News posted an image of the U.S. Capitol with the words “Good Riddance, Donald Trump!” just hours before the end of Trump’s term.

Xinhua is the state-run news agency of China, so the tweet indicates a consensus in the communist government that Biden was strongly preferred over Trump to lead China’s chief global competitor.

For official media to be this explicit in its preferences is concerning, given that China is a major adversary of the United States. --->READ MORE HERE

Minutes After Biden Takes Oath of Office, China Announces Major Action Against 28 Trump Officials and Their Families:

The Chinese government announced sanctions against more than two dozen Trump administration officials and their immediate families within minutes of President Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday.

Among those sanctioned was former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, according to Reuters. Pompeo has been vocal about China’s treatment of Uyghur Muslims, particularly in the last few days.

Reuters reported 28 people in total were sanctioned over what China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs called “crazy actions that have gravely interfered in China’s internal affairs.”

The country’s foreign ministry expounded on the sanctions on its website.

“Over the past few years, some anti-China politicians in the United States, out of their selfish political interests and prejudice and hatred against China and showing no regard for the interests of the Chinese and American people, have planned, promoted and executed a series of crazy moves which have gravely interfered in China’s internal affairs, undermined China’s interests, offended the Chinese people, and seriously disrupted China-U.S. relations,” the ministry claimed. --->READ MORE HERE
