President Biden has warned China there will be "dire consequences" if China provides Russia with lethal weapons for use against Ukraine
During a hastily called White House press briefing, President Joe Biden told reporters that he had just completed a call to Chinese President Xi Jinping warning him that if he provided Putin with lethal weapons for Russia to use against the Ukraine, there would be dire consequences.
A reporter asked what those consequences would be?
President Biden threatened to close down all Chinese restaurants and Chinese laundries in the United States
The president replied:
"I told President Xi that I would close down all the Chinese restaurants and Chinese laundries in the United States."
Another reporter asked how Xi responded.
President Biden laughed and said:
"My warning must have left President Xi speechless. I did hear a sound before the line went dead, something like uncontrolled laughter, but I'm sure that wasn't Xi because he wouldn't dare laugh at the President of the United States."
