The Threat From China is Real. Will Biden Rise to the Challenge?
After his recent 2-hour Lunar New Year phone call with Chinese President Xi Jinping, U.S. President Joe Biden said that China may “eat our lunch.” His statement contradicts his May, 1, 2019 downplaying of the increasing Chinese threat in which Biden said: “China is going to eat our lunch?
