Chinese Leader Xi Jinping Visits U.S.
China’s Leader Pledges to Work With U.S. Fighting Cybercrimes NYT: Jane Perlez |
When President Xi arrives in Washington, D.C., he's going to get some of the highest honors our nation can bestow upon a foreign leader. A state dinner will be held in his honor. As one report put it, "For the Chinese side, Xi's meetings with Obama and U.S. business leaders offer the chance to bolster [Xi's] stature at home."
I raise this because not a day goes by when China does not threaten our interests. Chinese fighter jets came dangerously close to one of our reconnaissance planes recently. But Xi is in Seattle lobbying U.S. corporate interests to pressure our leaders on trade issues. That's interesting.
The last time a foreign leader dared to lobby Americans, he got slammed by President Obama and the U.S. media. His name, as I'm sure you'll recall, is Bibi Netanyahu.
The Israeli prime minister was treated like a pariah because he dared to come to America to warn the nation that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a danger to his country and ours.
Only in Obama's America does an ally get ostracized while the leader of a hostile nation gets a state dinner. That just doesn't seem kosher to me.
