Woodside (US):

US President Joe Biden said after a summit with Xi Jinping Wednesday that he still considers the Chinese president a "dictator", after he sparked fury from Beijing by making the comparison earlier this year.

"Well look he is, I mean he's a dictator in the sense that he's a guy who's running a country, a Communist country, that's based on a form of government totally different than ours," Biden said at the end of a news conference when a reporter asked if he would still use the term to describe Xi.
