<p>Democrat Max Baucus, former President <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/barack-obama">Barack Obama&#8217;s</a> U.S. Ambassador to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/communist-china">China</a>, told CNN Tuesday afternoon that communist China views Biden as weak.</p>
<p>Baucus&#8217; remarks to CNN&#8217;s Jake Tapper on &#8220;The Lead&#8221; come as House Speaker <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/nancy-pelosi">Nancy Pelosi</a> (D-CA) landed in <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taiwan">Taiwan</a> on Tuesday despite warnings not to go from China and by the Biden administration.</p>
<p>&#8220;The deeper problem here really is that the visit by the speaker is really pushing America more toward recognizing [Taiwan&#8217;s] an independent country,&#8221; Baucus said. &#8220;That&#8217;s a big problem here.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Don&#8217;t forget, too, Speaker Pelosi, it&#8217;s a free pass for her,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;She&#8217;s not the president. She doesn&#8217;t have to worry about conducting foreign policy worldwide. She is a member of Congress. She doesn&#8217;t have to worry about it. She does a little, but not much.&#8221;</p>
<p>Baucus then explained why Biden looks weak to the Chinese.</p>
<p>&#8220;Poor Joe Biden,&#8221; he said. &#8220;He looks weak because he either told her not to go and it looks weak to the Chinese guys or he&#8217;s weak because he told her not to go and she went anyway. And that makes us look a little bit weak to the Chinese.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;I got to tell you, during the time I was serving in Beijing, one thing I really learned: Chinese understand strength better than do people in any other country, and they could smell weakness 100 miles away,&#8221; he concluded. &#8220;We&#8217;ve got to be strong but strong in the best sense.&#8221;</p>

<p>China announced that it was launching military operations encircling <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/taiwan">Taiwan</a> in response to Pelosi visiting the island nation.</p>
<p>Pelosi is the first House speaker to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/nancy-pelosi-arrives-in-taiwan-despite-strong-warnings-from-china">visit</a> Taiwan since Newt Gingrich’s 1997 visit, an island that China falsely claims is its territory, which has sparked China’s military to be put on high alert.</p>
<p>China’s defense ministry <a href="https://www.reuters.com/world/china-launch-targeted-military-operations-due-pelosi-visit-2022-08-02/">said</a> it is launching “targeted military operations” in response to Pelosi’s visit to the island.</p>
<p>Separately, Shi Yi, a spokesperson for the Eastern Theater Command, <a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/china-plans-four-days-of-military-drills-in-areas-encircling-taiwan/ar-AA10enwm">said</a> in a statement, “This action is targeted at the US’s shocking recent major escalation on the Taiwan issue, and serves as a serious warning to Taiwanese independence forces or those seeking independence.”</p>
<p>China said the military operations would launch on August 4 in six areas that encircle the island.</p>
