President Joe Biden has repeated a lie about traveling 17,000 miles with the Chinese leader Xi Jinping in his latest speech.

Biden was speaking at a White House event on Thursday to mark Greek Independence Day when he repeated the false remarks.

“Xi Jinping once asked me — I traveled 17,000 miles with him in Tibet. I was on the Tibetan Plateau,” he said. “And he looked at me, and he said to me, ‘Can you define America?’ And I could say the same thing if he asked me to define Greece. I said, ‘Yes, one word,’ and I mean this sincerely; it’s reg- — it’s recorded. I said, ‘One word: possibilities.’ ‘Possibilities.’”

However, Breitbart News reports no evidence Biden ever traveled 17,000 miles with Xi. According to the outlet, the president is fond of the false remarks which gave him a “bottomless Pinocchios” by Glenn Kessler, Washington Post’s fast checker.

In 2021, Kessler first pointed out that Biden has been repeating this story since 2016, with no evidence to back it up. According to Daily Mail, Biden’s false claim was not the only gaffe he made during his speech.

It also included an embarrassing moment where the president referred to the “O’Biden administration” instead of the “Obama Administration.” The mix-up came as Biden stumbled over his words, prompting laughter from the crowd before he corrected himself.

According to the outlet, Biden has repeatedly used the debunked claims to highlight the work he has put into fostering a relationship with President Xi.

However, as reported by Breitbart News, Politico associate editor Catherine Kim wrote in a recent newsletter that it was former President Donald Trump, not Biden, who has emphasized his relationship with Xi.

“Even amidst his threats of tariffs, the former president has never held back on his praise for Xi, recently calling him a ‘very good friend of mine during my term,” Kim wrote. “Biden does not share the same admiration: He’s publicly called Xi a dictator, a term that has received vigorous pushback from China’s foreign ministry.”
