During an address to the graduating class at the United States Coast Guard Academy in Connecticut, President Biden appeared to quote the late Chinese Communist Chairman Mao Zedong in remarks about gender equality
"There’s a saying, used in a different context, a Chinese saying that says, ‘Women hold up half the world," Biden said. "It’s an absolute stupid position not to make sure [women] represent at least half of what we do," Biden said Wednesday. While the leader of the Chinese Communist Party in the 1950s, "Chairman Mao" said that "women hold up half the sky," a comment that was used to promote the CCP's "Great Leap Forward" endeavor, which led to tens of millions of deaths.More Related News
