PoliticsRepublican Senator McCormick: US Misjudged China 25 Years Ago, Which Is Now Its Gravest Security Threat

After a visit to Japan and South Korea, Republican Senator Dave McCormick said at the Hudson Institute in Washington on October 16 that both US parties had wrongly believed trade would make China a friendlier partner. He said the Chinese Communist Party is now the gravest threat to US security since World War II, and urged the country to turn innovation into production capacity and national strength to preserve global leadership.
