China more ‘defensive’ dealing with Trump compared with Biden

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer claims China was more “defensive” when engaging with former president Donald Trump compared with President Joe Biden. Donald Trump’s former chief of staff General John Kelly claimed in a new book that the former president regarded Vladimir Putin as an “OK guy and Kim as an OK guy”. Mr Spicer defended the former president’s handling of Mr Xi and Mr Putin, saying the Chinese President didn’t call out the Trump administration as they have done with Biden. “For four years we had a much better relationship with North Korea in terms of them releasing hostages, not being as provocative as they are now,” Mr Spicer told Sky News host Andrew Bolt. “China was much more contained and in fact, I think President Xi was on his heels the entire time not wondering what Donald Trump would do.”
