Joe Biden tells Chinese to challenge their leaders - Telegraph

Joe Biden arrived in Beijing on Wednesday in typically pugnacious form, telling the Chinese to "breath free" and challenge authority.

Greeting a queue of Chinese waiting in line to apply for visas to visit America, the 71-year-old Vice-President told them that "challenging the status quo" is part of the "DNA of every American".

"Innovation can only occur when you can breathe free, challenge the government, challenge your teachers, challenge religious leaders," he said, in implicit criticism of the Chinese system.

In May, Mr Biden upset some Chinese students at the University of Pennsylvania with criticism of China as a country that cannot "think different" or "breathe free".

"You cannot think different in a nation where you cannot breathe free; you cannot think different in a nation where you are not able to challenge orthodoxy, because change only comes from challenging orthodoxy," he said.

Mr. Biden, we like to thank you for your concern and please shove you opinion where the sun doesn't shine.

... "challenging the status quo" is part of the "DNA of every American".

Doesn't China challenge the status quo in the East Chinese Sea and the Biden is very concerned?

"You cannot go to a 7-11 or a Dunkin' Donuts unless you have a slight Indian accent.... I'm not joking." --Joe Biden, in a private remark to an Indian-American man caught on C-SPAN, June, 2006

"I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." –Joe Biden, referring to Barack Obama at the beginning of the 2008 Democratic primary campaign, Jan. 31, 2007

And I urge all Americans to challenge the Jewish influence in the US.

The US has the world's most fearsome police force to puts down anyone who challenges authority. Why do you think the US government borrows hundreds of billions every year? For police and military, of course.

It usually takes a few seconds before Biden's brain has caught up with what's coming out of his mouth.

Though personally,I agree with him,being on a diplomatic mission,he should've watched his mouth.

I believe that China and the many countries in the world that have the guts are challenging the decade-long status quo of the so-called World Reserve Currency that is simply a paper fiat currency called US dollar backed by nothing while being controlled and printed (literally or more to digitally) in reckless fashion by the private(*) central bankers called the Federal Reserve...

This irresponsible and unchecked printing of WRC has been causing severe price inflations worldwide until today, causing further poverty and miseries and people riots in many poor countries!

(*) SEE the classic reference about the Federal Reserve: "The Creature from Jekyll Island, 5th Edition" (2010) by G. Edward Griffin

The Creature from Jekyll Island: A Second Look at the Federal Reserve: G. Edward Griffin: 9780912986456: Amazon.com: Books

The 5th Edition of The Creature from Jekyll Island, includes the latest information relevant to the Federal Reserve. Where does money come from? Where does it go? Who makes it? The money magician's secrets are unveiled. Here is a close look at their mirrors and smoke machines, the pulleys, cogs, and wheels that create the grand illusion called money. A boring subject? Just wait. You'll be hooked in five minutes. It reads like a detective story - which it really is, but it's all true. This book is about the most blatant scam of history. It's all here: the cause of wars, boom-bust cycles, inflation, depression, prosperity. Your world view will definitely change. Putting it quite simply, this may be the most important book on world affairs you will ever read.

If we have democracy, we will be a failure like India. Obviously America wants to collapse China because they fear the rise of China.
