WASHINGTON — In his short time in the U.S. Senate, J.D. Vance, the newly tapped Republican vice presidential nominee, has been a hawk on China.
He has introduced legislation to restrict Chinese access to U.S. financial markets and to protect U.S. higher education from Chinese influence.
In an interview with Fox News shortly after being named as former President Donald Trump’s running mate on Monday, Vance called China “the biggest threat” to the United States.
When asked about Russia’s war in Ukraine, Vance said Trump would negotiate with Moscow and Kyiv to “bring this thing to a rapid close so America can focus on the real issue, which is China.”
“That’s the biggest threat to our country and we are completely distracted from it,” said Vance, a staunch supporter of Trump’s Make America Great Again agenda.

Both Trump and Vance have supported strong tariffs on China. In an interview with CBS’s “Face the Nation” news program in May, Vance said the U.S. needs to apply across-the-board tariffs on imports.
“If you apply tariffs, really what it is you're saying [is] that we're going to penalize you for using slave labor in China and importing that stuff in the United States. What you end up doing is, you end up making more stuff in America, in Pennsylvania, in Ohio and in Michigan,” he said.

“Vance has supported more economic restrictions and tariffs on Chinese imports and investments,” Dean Chen, a professor of political science at the Ramapo College of New Jersey, told VOA. “Hence, I expect his position on China to be in line with Trump nationalists in their potential new administration.”
Trump has promised that, if elected, he would impose 10% across-the-board levies on imported goods and a tariff of 60% or higher on Chinese goods to protect American industries.

He meant, “China is the biggest threat to our country, after Democrats.”
Biggest foriegn threat.
Rats are anti-American. They qualify as foreign, too.
He’s wrong.
The American Deep State / 0’Biden Regime and their minions is by far a greater threat than China.
Satanism is the threat, not China. Always looking to blame others for our problems is not conservative, it is NeoCon.
Illegal immigration is the greatest threat in my book via the Cloward-Piven strategy.
I’m pretty sure our real enemy is Grand Fenwick. They declared war on us once and won, I think they’ll try again.
I’m beginning to warm up to J.D.
But, I seriously disagree with him that China is the biggest threat to America. The Marxist/Socialist’s Democratic Party believes in the SAME things Marxist/Socialist Chinese believe in.
Plus they are INSIDE the walls guys! That makes them infinitely more dangerous than Chinese Communists. Time for people with a VOICE to start screamin it loud.
They won’t touch it. Nobody wants to talk about the Great Replacement. Even here on FR, there’s very few threads. Irish and UK citizens being forced to accept subhuman Africans and Muslims. Thousands of Haitians settling in Springfield Ohio.
(Nobody wants to talk about the Great Replacement. Even here on FR)
Why is that on FR? What are they afraid of? Tucker Carlson has a great show on it not too long ago. The great replacement is real. America will not exist if the founders original intent of the type citizens they wanted for America is replaced.
The biggest threat to America is Americans.
The illegals will destroy our country from inside. I consider them the biggest threat.
Threat how precisely
Not saying they aren’t exactly but man are their fortunes tied to us
We are their market
And they own our debt
Gangster oligarchs pretending to be commies
Pimping ain’t easy
Interesting thread. Many evil individual enemies foreign and domestic. Throughout history they’ve overtly or covertly gotten together in anti-truth, anti-freedom, anti-individual, anti-life collectives small and large.
Vance is wrong...it’s climate change and fossil fuels and Patriotic Americans.
Without China we’d have no Walmart.
