WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Joe Biden on Thursday said he would prevent China from passing the United States to become the most powerful country in the world, vowing to invest heavily to ensure America prevails in the race between the world’s two largest economies.
Biden said he had spent “hours upon hours” with Xi Jinping when he served as vice president under former President Barack Obama, and was convinced the Chinese president believed autocracy - not democracy - held the key to the future.

Why Was the Secret Service Covering Up for Hunter Biden in 2018?
Trump extends Secret Service protection to 14 family members, reports say
Trump's children and former staffers to get Secret Service protection at taxpayers' expense: report
"Congress originally voted in 1994 to cap security protections for former Presidents at ten years. President Obama, however, reversed his vote in 2012 under the assumption the Secret Service would be used responsibly. Of course, Trump has done just the opposite. "
Considering that Bernie supporters are not adverse to mass murder, I think Trump is right.
My question is Hunter Biden deserves Secret Service protection, but activity befitting of "Absolute Power" ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Absolute_Power_(film)
Is the Secret Service suppose to cover up the crimes of the children of Democrat politicians?
So Hunter got kicked out of the Navy for drug use. How did he answer his firearm application, when it asked about drug use?
"Biden was not under protection. Hunter Biden was not a public official. The Secret Service should not have been involved in this. Period"
Trump did not have majority control of the executive branch of the Federal government.
It seems as though the Democrat do even out of power.
Apparently, America is not a democracy, but an oligarchy.
A country made by the oligarchy for the oligarchy.
