Xenophobia hurting India and China economic growth, says Biden
US President Joe Biden has called India, China, Japan and Russia “xenophobic” and said it was “xenophobia” that was hurting the economic growth of these countries. Biden made remarks suggesting countries, including India, didn’t accept migrants.
“One of the reasons why our economy’s growing is because of you and many others. Why? Because we welcome immigrants,” Biden was quoted as saying at a fundraising event by Reuters.
“Why is China stalling so badly economically, why is Japan having trouble, why is Russia, why is India, because they’re xenophobic. They don’t want immigrants. Immigrants are what makes us strong,” Biden said.
