Harry Reid Calls China's Hu a 'Dictator? - Hu Jintao - Fox Nation

Several Nevada casino companies have started earning a larger chunk of income from China than Las Vegas but that didn't stop the state's senior senator -- U.S. Majority Leader Harry Reid -- from describing China's president as a "dictator" during a discussion Tuesday on Senate Democratic objectives for the 112th Congress.

Chinese President Hu Jintao, who is also general secretary of the Chinese Communist Party and therefore has powers bestowed on him by the National People's Congress, is in Washington for an official state visit hosted by President Obama. As head of state, Hu is the face of the nation's movement toward market-oriented, but state-controlled economic policies.

Reid, who represents a state that relies on the revenues of its primary industry -- gaming tourism, smilingly retreated from the characterization nearly as soon as the words left his mouth Tuesday.

No one cares about these Tom dick and harry.

Yes, because Harry Reid, employee of Wall Street and gambling companies, has a right to talk about "dictatorships". He knows much about dictators from all the African dictators that spent their loot in Vegas.

Definition of the word "dictator" from the Collins English dictionary.

dictator [dɪkˈteɪtə]
n
1. A ruler who is not effectively restricted by a constitution, laws, recognized opposition, etc.
2. An absolute ruler.

So it clearly does not apply. China is ruled by one-party, not by "one person".

Reid called Hu a "dictator" in a Tuesday television interview, but quickly recanted his words.

"Maybe I shouldn't have said dictator, but they have a different type of government than we have and that is understatement."

A spokesman for Reid expounded on his comments.

[tallboy123]

Not a big issue,
Harry doesn't know the meaning of Dictator,so some misunderstanding..that's all

 

[ChineseTiger1986]

lol, a former KKK member calls our leader a dictator?

 

[lcloo]

He is a cold war left-over ideologist who can not differentiate a dictator and an elected leader.

His brain is filled with thoughts that all non-capitalist are evil, and China is no.1 enemy because China is a communist state and her people are yellow skin and slit eyes peasants forced to provide cheap hard labor to make cheap goods to steal American money.

We should hire Apple, Walmart and GE consultants to brain-wash him.

Hu Jin Tao's term will be up in 2012. So NO, he is not a dicatator!

Well said mate.Its seriously a big joke or problem for a high status leader in usa cannot even differentiate the means of dictator since China is work by a group of people but not A PEOPLE.Thats the different.Its seems its a shame for him.

It's not a big deal. People call each other all kinds of crap all the time.

For example, Barack Obama called Kanye West a "jackass".
