So not only is racist rapist Joe Biden in the pocket of China, he’s also a communist Maoist. When giving a speech about women’s rights, guess who he quoted? Yep, the brutal murderer/dictator Mao Zedong. Biden made his Maoist quote during a fundraiser.

“For the first time, an economic crisis is hitting industries dominated by women,” Biden said, flanked by former senior Obama administration advisor Valerie Jarrett, the former Vice President’s special guest at the digital fundraiser. “We’ve got to get real economic relief into women’s hands now.”
He then quoted what he called an “old Chinese proverb” about women.
“Women hold up half the sky,” Biden said.
The quote, though, is not an “ancient” or “old” proverb, it’s a quote from Mao Zedong, who used it to reference women’s contributions to his utopian Communist society at the beginning of his rule.
“Times have changed…today men and women are equal,” Mao said, notably. “Whatever men comrades can accomplish, women comrades can too.”
“‘Women Hold Up Half The Sky,’ is a proclamation made by Mao Zedong, mainly to prove that women are a resource that ought to be deployed outside of the homes into the professional fields. It is such a powerful statement that affirms that women can do just as much as men can,” one Chinese official told The Drum, a marketing outlet.
Ultimately, though, Communist China under Mao Zedong — and later under a succession of Communist rulers — did not become the feminist paradise suggested by Mao’s vocal commitment to women’s rights. In addition to strict rules curtailing individual freedoms, Mao’s Communist state largely locked women out of positions of power and China has never had a female leader, even though female leadership has become commonplace in Asia.
