Bottom Line: “The problem with the zombie engagement is the Chinese Communist Party exploits our ardent pursuit of meetings and photo ops as an opportunity to advance their totalitarian – and often anti-American – agenda.”

Bottom Line: "Another step we can take is to make it impossible for Chinese Communist Party-affiliated entities to buy land near military bases. We could also outbound investment guardrails, putting restrictions on the flow of U.S. capital to China so we can't subsidize our own destruction."

Bottom Line: “These are our first attempts at a policy process. They do not represent the last word on either of these issues… We will continue to discuss these issues. They’re very complex.”

Bottom Line: “These unprovoked and dangerous military maneuvers only reinforce what the CCP has been telling us… They’re not interested in being friends. They’re not interested in peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”

Bottom Line: "Another step we can take is to make it impossible for Chinese Communist Party-affiliated entities to buy land near military bases. We could also outbound investment guardrails, putting restrictions on the flow of U.S. capital to China so we can't subsidize our own destruction."

Bottom Line: "How we confront the Chinese Communist Party — our greatest foreign policy challenge — absolutely should be front and center. Every single candidate should be asked about this issue ...

Bottom Line: “We believe that the time has come for the United States — alongside our allies — to firmly push back on the PRC’s economic coercion. The US government can no longer sit on the sidelines as the PRC selectively targets U.S. and allied entities with the goal of intimidating our businesses and harming our economic security.”

Bottom Line: “Ensuring the safety of American small businesses from IP-related crimes is crucial, and we urge the U.S. Department of Justice to utilize all tools and capabilities at its disposal.”
