Biden and cultural norms

 I am trying to avoid Biden, because we need some time to see what he actually does, and he deserves a breaking in period. But this is pretty bad. I think I take this differently than most. I think the ‘cultural norm’ bit is referring to *Biden*. Here is my interpretation: “I explained to Xi that I would have to criticize some things he does but that’s just because it’s expected of an American president. It’s not something for him to take seriously. He gets that.”
