Question about English (US)
The sentence below is from an article about China's President Xi Jinping.
Near the end of the sentence, what does " overseeing policy blunders" mean?
I think it means carefully supervising China's policy to prevent serious mistakes from happening.
Is it correct?
Over the past decade, Xi has preached China's autocracy as a “new option for other countries who want to speed up their development” while overseeing policy blunders that undermine global prosperity.
