President Obama's ambassador to China and former Senator Max Baucus (D-MT) said President Trump's rhetoric is so "over the top" against China. In an interview with CNN, Baucus accused the president of "red-baiting" like Joe McCarthy and lamented that if anyone says "anything reasonable about China" they feel that their head is going to be chopped off (emphasis mine). The former ambassador went on to liken Trump's anti-China rhetoric to Hitler in the 1930s.
"There are a lot of very responsible people in America who know that this China bashing is irresponsible, and we're going to pay a price, the more it continues," he warned. "That's what I'm saying. But they're afraid to speak up." "The administration's rhetoric is so strong against China," Baucus said. "It's over the top. We're entering a kind of an era which is similar to Joe McCarthy back when he was red-baiting the State Department, attacking communists."
"A little bit like Hitler in the '30s. A lot of people knew what was going on was wrong. They knew it was wrong, but they didn't stand up and say anything about it. They felt intimidated. Now in the United States, if anyone says anything reasonable about China, he or she feels intimidated, afraid his head is going to be chopped off," Baucus stated.
Baucus called "China bashing" irresponsible and if it continues "we're going to pay a price."

Here’s a nauseating, over the top statement about China:
The Chinese are peaceful, kind, honest, caring, helpful and generous people.
Another free-traitor paid in full.
“and lamented that if anyone says “anything reasonable about China” they feel that their head is going to be chopped off”
And the problem here is?
What the living hell are the reasonable things about the CCP?
Collaborator
Every. Single. Time.
The logical fallacy dubbed reductio ad Hitlerum (reduced to Hitler). I believe it was Dennis Prager, or maybe Victor Davis Hanson who said that anytime a liberal makes the Hitler comparison, he has lost the argument.
If Baucus wanted to compare Trump to a murderous dictatorial thug he could have mentioned Mao.
The man’s problem is that he doesn’t understand that President Trump is not playing the old game.
There is a new game and there are new rules. The old rules no longer apply.
For some, the new game isn’t any fun
Yep.
Pity Nixon couldnt have redoubled support for Taiwan rather than help the ChiComs survive as a junta.
When you cant use McCarthy anymore because youve adopted all of his alleged tactics ...
“Everyone I don’t like is just like Hitler.”
~~ average democrat
Who are they to judge our HUAC?
The CCP is the New Nazi Party and they even go on about why the Nazis failed but they wont...
Max, I think you meant to say McCarthy in the 50s rather than Hitler in the 30s.
Besides, Tail Gunner Joe was right!
Nixon was the one who agreed to the Chinese demand that we not recognize Taiwan. Every President since has kowtowed to that demand.
The thing is Joe was right about the commies.
This is truly ironic considering that China’s President for life Xi Jinping has publicly detailed in his official biography that the three men he most admires in history are Stalin, Hitler, and Mao. He especially likes Hitler’s ruthlessness in exterminating the Jews and hopes to equal his accomplishments with the Uighurs an Tibetan Buddhists.
China throwing ethnic minorities and religious people in gulags is like Hitler, you dumbass former patronage ambassador.
What about Mao in the 70’s?
Yah beat me.
