Marco Rubio penned a withering critique of China's 'zero-sum game' strategies, warning of its plans to replace the U.S. as the most powerful nation on earth.
Marco Rubio penned a withering critique of China's"zero-sum game" economic strategies, saying the Communist Chinese government intends on fooling the world again at this week's Belt and Road Initiative.
"China’s long-term threats to national security and economic security far outweigh the short-term benefits from Chinese foreign investment or increased exports to China," the Florida GOP senator wrote."China’s actions are not just part of an unprecedented effort to supplant America’s role as the leading economic and military power. Rather, they are in direct contradiction to the most deeply held values by the U.S. and fellow democracies.
Rubio, who has repeatedly sounded the alarm about trusting Chinese President Xi Jinping or China's government, said they have"fooled the world" into believing they will adopt a"rules-based" international order. “Under the umbrella of the Belt and Road, Beijing seeks to promote a more connected world brought together by a web of Chinese-funded physical and digital infrastructure,” the CNAS authors wrote. “The infrastructure needs in Asia and beyond are significant, but the Belt and Road is more than just an economic initiative; it is a central tool for advancing China’s geopolitical ambitions.”
