China Is Its Own Worst Enemy
Democrats are falling into a familiar trap on China
Zakaria notes:
“Republicans take a legitimate challenge to the United
States and pump it up into a mortal danger, massively exaggerating the threat
and accusing the Democrats of appeasement or even of taking part in a
conspiracy with the enemy. And Democrats, instead of standing their ground, get
scared and join in the scaremongering. In response to ads bashing Biden and
China, Biden released his own China-bashing ad, which even competed with Trump
in its racially charged tone. Rather than explaining that policy toward China
requires both confrontation and cooperation, the Biden campaign has basically
conceded the argument to Trump”.
