Rep. Tim Ryan: China Is Coming At Us; They Have Detailed, Long-Term Programs
2019-01-09
[RealClear Politics] Rep. Tim Ryan (D-Ohio) warned of China's growing influence in the Middle East and Africa and that the U.S. is "falling behind" while the Asian nation is "overtaking us in every way." Ryan also said the U.S. isn't "even acting like we are in a competition with them."

"China is coming at us," Ryan said Wednesday on Hewitt's nationally-syndicated radio program. "They are in Africa. They are locking down long-term deals in Africa for raw materials. They’re building islands in the South China Sea. They’ve got very detailed, long-term programs like their One Belt, One Road, where they’re connecting Asia to the Middle East."

#2  A whole set of 5 year plans to waste the Chinese people's wealth on.

The Middle Kingdom is in it for the long-haul, though. And they're pretty consistent in their actions.

None of the 'every 4 years we'll change our approach' stuff.
