President Joe Biden is opening his visit to Asia with lots on the agenda. Some major themes: the China conundrum, new leaders, a new acronym, a partnership called the Quad, nuclear tensions, and a hunger for chips (of the semiconductor variety).

South Korea’s Yoon Suk Yeol assumed the presidency a week ago on the expectation of better ties with Japan. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, who took office in October, spoke with Yoon by phone the day after his March election victory, saying “sound relations” are crucial for regional and international peace and stability.

The challenges posed by a decaying economy and an escalating COVID-19 outbreak across an unvaccinated population of 26 million are unlikely to slow his pressure campaign. White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan says U.S. intelligence shows there’s a “genuine possibility” that North Korea will conduct another ballistic missile test or nuclear test during or around Biden’s visit.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian alluded to China as “a third party” who should not be disadvantaged by agreements between the U.S. and Japan.

Maybe he could visit our border and some of the homeless camps all over California. PUPPET

So glad he can go to Asia while I can hardly afford to go to work... very frustrating

Can he remember them, though?

The real conundrum is the USA.

For a second there I thought it was the orange clown but then I saw that he wasn’t wearing a pumpkin head.

Biden has zero idea where he is going.

At his age, he took on too much. Bernie is way sharper and ready to tax J.B.'s buddies.

God Bless President Joe Biden. I’m even hanging my Biden flag out!!! It’s so beautiful 🙏 🇺🇸

Biden has an eye on China as he heads to South Korea, JapanWASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden departs on a six-day trip to South Korea and Japan aiming to build rapport with the two nations’ leaders while also sending an unmistakable message to China: Russia’s faltering invasion of Ukraine should give Beijing pause about its own saber-rattling in the Pacific. The only thing Biden is capable of is further embarrassing our country while using an enormous amount of adult diapers. The world knows the 2020 election was a scam & Biden cheated his way in. The world pities Biden & laughs at him. Biden can not solve security problems in his own country, how can he bring peace to the world? China has Joe Biden right where they want him, asleep at the wheel
