China

“Counter China as the number one strategic threat to global democracy and the United States’ standing over the next 50 years.”

“Strengthen NATO and supporting our democratic allies. Stand firmly with America’s democratic allies by strengthening NATO, supporting Ukraine’s defense against Russian aggression, and confronting authoritarian threats from Russia, China, and Iran.”

“Secure domestic supply chains and strengthen global partnerships. Strengthen strategic economic and trade partnerships to secure supply chains, counter China’s influence, and create jobs at home.”

“Russia and China are real threats, and we need a plan to deal with those threats without dragging us into another endless war. That means supporting Ukraine and our NATO allies, paying attention to Asia, and rebuilding trust with the international community.”

“Sherrod is working to make sure foreign countries can’t cheat our trade laws and is pushing the Biden Administration to do more to stand up to the Chinese Communist government – which is threatening Ohio jobs in industries from steel to solar manufacturing.”

“When democracy is attacked anywhere, it threatens democracy everywhere. We need to show countries like China and Russia that we won’t support their attempts to take over other nations. That means supporting Ukraine, protecting Taiwan’s sovereignty, and deescalating this War of Choice in Iran.”

“We must be present protecting critical sea-lanes, providing a credible deterrent, and persistently operating in their backyard; China and Russia must understand that if clearly delineated red lines are violated, we will act to defend our allies, interests, and ultimately our values — over theirs.”

“In Congress Chris has worked to safeguard American interests and values across the globe, support our allies, and protect democracy from the rising influence of authoritarian regimes like Russia, Iran, and China.”

“Secure domestic supply chains and strengthen global partnerships. Strengthen strategic economic and trade partnerships to secure supply chains, counter China’s influence, and create jobs at home.”

“Russia and China are real threats, and we need a plan to deal with those threats without dragging us into another endless war. That means supporting Ukraine and our NATO allies, paying attention to Asia, and rebuilding trust with the international community.”

“The foreign policy we’re seeing isn’t “America First” – it’s playing directly into China and Russia’s hands while hurting our credibility at home and abroad. Instead of defending our allies and strengthening NATO, we’re weakening our alliances all over the globe with insults and knee-jerk foreign policy decisions based on ego and social media instead of reality and solid intelligence. And we’re spending billions of dollars on pointless foreign wars when we have many of our own problems to solve right here at home.”

“Work with partners to develop shared strategies on China, Russia, climate, and global health threats.”

“Russia and China are real threats, and we need a plan to deal with those threats without dragging us into another endless war. That means supporting Ukraine and our NATO allies, paying attention to Asia, and rebuilding trust with the international community.”

“I oppose the warlike pathway that the foreign policy establishment has pursued with China. Our competition with China is not fated toward kinetic war. Where we compete, it should be with our research, development, and economic power, building solutions to the problems of the future.”

“While we must insist that China play by the rules when it comes to trade and intellectual property, we must also recognize that our shared futures are better when we cooperate with each other for the benefit of all of our people, rather than compete in a zero-sum arms race that makes all of us less safe.”

“De-escalate with China and build a coalition of the world's largest emitters: The cold war posture the U.S. has adopted toward China is incompatible with the level of cooperation the climate crisis demands.”

“We can have disagreements with China — and protect American interests — without unnecessarily escalating to the point of conflict. Indeed, the U.S. and China have a solemn responsibility to collaborate on the major challenges confronting our planet, including climate change, AI risk, pandemics, economic stability, and avoiding catastrophic wars.”

“Scott supports existing U.S. policy toward Taiwan and opposes any forceful attempt to change the status quo across the Taiwan Strait. War with China would be catastrophic for the entire world, which means deterrence must be backed by serious diplomacy.”

“International Public Cooperation and Governance Boards: We should negotiate a US-China treaty to pause and ban superintelligence, modeled on the Cold War deal in which Reagan and Gorbachev eliminated a class of nuclear missiles through inspections. A verification board would count chips and data centers, a scientific panel would share threat assessments, and a 24-hour hotline would flag incidents. Access to American chips and cloud services should be conditioned on signing and complying, and we should tighten chip export controls now.”

“While we must insist that China play by the rules when it comes to trade and intellectual property, we must also recognize that our shared futures are better when we cooperate with each other for the benefit of all of our people, rather than compete in a zero-sum arms race that makes all of us less safe.”

“De-escalate with China and build a coalition of the world's largest emitters: The cold war posture the U.S. has adopted toward China is incompatible with the level of cooperation the climate crisis demands.”

“Claire will push for renewed climate diplomacy with China and advocate for a broader framework of cooperation among the world's largest emitters — because the climate doesn't respect rivalries.”

“The U.S. should compete with China the right way: by leading. That means investing in domestic semiconductor manufacturing, AI infrastructure, and clean energy so we’re not dependent on countries overseas for critical supply chains.”

“I used my experience in the Navy to champion legislation in Congress that provided troops with a pay raise, invested in our warfighters, strengthened naval seapower, and led efforts to deter our enemies like Russia, China, and Iran.”

“We must be present protecting critical sea-lanes, providing a credible deterrent, and persistently operating in their backyard; China and Russia must understand that if clearly delineated red lines are violated, we will act to defend our allies, interests, and ultimately our values — over theirs.”

“Imprisoning dissidents further erodes our trust in China’s commitment to human rights and makes it even more difficult to find common ground. The United States stands with the people of Hong Kong and those resisting the oppressive actions of the PRC.”
