host: when you say flattery anger, piston trump is called -- president bynum has called xi jinping -- president biden -- sorry, i'm getting confused. former president praised xi jinping and president biden has called him a thug and a dictator. can you talk about xi jinping and how china views those leaders? guest: president trump believes an intimate relationship between him and the chinese leader will help facilitate progress on his priorities. president biden believes in the power of personal relationships but is less certain that public praise of xi jinping will deliver progress on american priorities. president biden is outspoken and direct and candid in his articulation of oppression she should be -- president xi jinping's system. president xi jinping is absent being called a thug, but he is a cold-blooded calculator and i doubt that he has a clear preference between one candidate or the other in the upcoming election. host: let's look at what former president trump said in a fox news interview in for very putting the idea of increasing tariffs on chinese exports.
