Sen. Mitt Romney warned former Vice President Joe Biden, running in the 2020 Democratic primary, that his soft views on China’s threat “will not age well.”
Republican Senator Mitt Romney suggested former Vice President Joe Biden is underestimating the threat to America from China after the Democratic 2020 hopeful played down concerns about the Asian powerhouse.
At a campaign event in Iowa City on Wednesday, Biden, who is leading the polls in the 2020 Democratic primary, said China is not competition for the U.S. Responding to Biden's China comments on Twitter, Utah’s Senator Romney wrote :"This will not age well." The Trump administration has taken China on over the issues of trade and intellectual property theft, imposing protectionist tariffs on Chinese imports and punitively sanctioning its companies for falling foul of American rules. Washington and Beijing are engaged in trade talks.
Blackwill concluded: “Now the challenge for [President Trump] and his successors is to persuade Beijing, through enhanced U.S. power projection, more able alliances, and adroit diplomacy, that the United States will grow ever stronger in Asia and, with its allies and friends, will robustly confront destabilizing Chinese actions.
