So, it seems equally possible that Biden's advisers have clued him in, and his memory remains in a kind of time-warp. Which is the more likely explanation for Biden's benighted words on China? It doesn't matter all that much - at least compared to what I believe to be the expected reaction on the part of Biden's Russian interlocutors..
What does matter is the impression President Putin got of a president highly experienced in foreign affairs, but bereft of accurate knowledge on some fundamental current realities (and the China issue is only one such questionable tack). While top Chinese officials had the opportunity to brief the Putin team on the indignities they suffered at the hands of Secretary of State Blinken and national security adviser Jake Sullivan in Anchorage on March 18, it seems likely, nevertheless, that Biden's comments on China left Putin shaking his head in disbelief. This cannot be a good thing.
