Biden criticizes Japan and India for perceived xenophobia during campaign event

US President Joe Biden recently made comments suggesting that Japan, China, Russia, and India are struggling economically due to their xenophobic attitudes towards immigration. He stated that these countries do not welcome immigrants, which is in contrast to the US, where he believes immigration has contributed to the country's economic growth. However, experts have noted that Biden's comments may be perceived as offensive, particularly in Japan. A White House spokesman attempted to clarify Biden's remarks, stating that the president was trying to make a comment about America's immigrant "DNA" and that Russia and China also do not welcome immigrants. Nevertheless, the comments have the potential to cause diplomatic tension for the administration.
