Biden will go without any hesitation.

Poor Joe
This won't be a trip to Merry Old England with a 6 hour time difference.
This will be a long trip despite flying Air Farce One with a 13 hour time difference.
Ron Klain is greedily rubbing his hands together imagining, if the doctor can pull this off. An interpreter will earn their pay by glossing over Joe's mumbling. If it works the Legacy Media will portray Joe on a important foreign trip to the American people and earn a [prestigious Goebbel's Award.
It will be the Mother of All Doping Scandals!
The Chinese could passively measure Joe's body temperature with an infrared scanner. It would give them valuable intel data.
Time will tell but he is in a tight spot. There's always the sidekick, miss kamala.
Go Sleepy Joe, go. Go get your hugs from Paddington Bear....and more!
My bet will be different from everyone here, Biden will ignore any invitation vositing China.
If Biden had any balls at all, he would boycott this Chin propaganda fest. There is no way that China should be rewarded with an Olympic games after infecting the world with the Wuhan Flu, covering it up - and then utter belligerence to the US and virtually every other nation. Rounding up and imprisoning millions of Uyghurs - in concentration camps, bullying Taiwan, threatening the West, etc.
Jo Brandon will go, smile his creepy leering smile, kiss Xi's ass and sell out the country he's supposed to be leading. Again.
Agreed Russ.
Also agree with Russ. Rewarding tyrants? Not for me.
He'll accept and send Kamala.
Yes Russ
