China’s Aggression Keeps Proving Trump’s Tough Strategy Is Needed

  1. China will continue to exploit and leverage the international free market and rules-based system that was founded upon the values of sovereignty, freedom, and human rights.
  2. China is attacking the values of freedom, human rights, and sovereignty that the United States and other like-minded nations hold dear.
  3. Trump’s seriousness in confronting the problems we face with China has generated the momentum needed for the United States to mobilize and address the numerous long-standing threats China poses.This is of critical importance now more than ever because the days of China hiding its strength and biding its time are over — and they have been for quite some time.
  4. Just as Trump has done throughout the course of his administration, the United States, our allies, and our partners must also objectively look at the international laws and organizations in place to determine if such structures are capable of overcoming the modern threats facing free societies and economies in the 21st century.
  5. However, the United States alone can’t assume the role of the world’s police to defend against this threat, nor can we prevent China from controlling critical supply chains and manufacturing capabilities that are essential for ensuring our national security.
  6. Consequently, time and time again we’ve seen China attempt to manipulate the international system and attack internationally shared values to advance the CCP's ambitions.
