New Zealand Prime Minister Chris Hipkins said he wouldn’t characterize Chinese President Xi Jinping as a dictator, disagreeing with US President Joe Biden.
“No, and the form of government that China has is a matter for the Chinese people,” Hipkins told reporters Thursday in Wellington when asked if he agreed with Biden’s assessment. The US President made the unscripted remark at a fundraiser earlier this week.
