In Naval Academy’s Class of 2022 Graduation and Commissioning Ceremony, president Biden said: “

 I’ve met more with Xi Jinping than any other world leader has.  When he called me to congratulate me on election night, he said to me what he said many times before.  He said, “Democracies cannot be sustained in the 21st century.  Autocracies will run the world.  Why?  Things are changing so rapidly.  Democracies require a consensus, and it takes time, and you don’t have the time.”
