Biden forgot to turn off the microphone when he was talking in a “whisper” and started by targeting China

On September 21, local time, the “Quadrilateral Security Dialogue” between the leaders of the United States, Japan, India and Australia was held at a high school in Wilmington, where US President Biden studied. In the official live broadcast, Biden said that “China continues to act aggressively and test us throughout the region.” Several news agencies reported that these remarks were originally a closed-door speech, but they were accidentally leaked because the venue forgot to turn off the microphone. “China continues to act aggressively and test us throughout the region, in the South China Sea, the East China Sea, South Asia and the Taiwan Strait. This is true in all areas of our relationship, including economic and technological fields.” Biden said to Australian Prime Minister Albanese, Indian Prime Minister Modi, Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio and US Secretary of State Blinken who were sitting at the round table. According to multiple media reports, Biden, who was hosting the dialogue, had finished his opening speech and reporters had been asked to leave the meeting room. Biden did not know that the microphone was still on. Although the United States has repeatedly stated that the “Quadrilateral Security Dialogue” is not aimed at any other country. When publicly introducing the meeting, US President’s National Security Advisor Sullivan also declared that the summit “is not directed at other countries.” However, as soon as he finished speaking, Biden forgot to turn off the microphone and said a “whisper,” reflecting the real concern of the “Quadrilateral Security Dialogue.”
