NEW DELHI: Indian-American Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley has characterized China as an “existential threat” not only to the United States but to the global community at large. She asserted that Beijing is actively making preparations for potential conflict.
During a significant policy address focused on the economy in the influential early primary state of New Hampshire, Haley said that China has dedicated fifty years to strategizing for the purpose of surpassing America. She further stated that in certain aspects, the Chinese military is already on par with the United States’ armed forces.
Her speech comes two days after her India-American Republican rival Vivek Ramaswamy delivered a foreign policy speech on China in Ohio. Both Haley and Ramaswamy have emerged as popular GOP candidates after former US president Donald Trump.
“Strength and pride are essential to our national survival, especially in the face of Communist China. China is an existential threat. It has spent half a century plotting to defeat us,” Haley said.
She alleged that China has taken America’s manufacturing jobs.
“It’s taken our trade secrets. Now it’s taking control of critical industries, from medicines to advanced technology. In record time, China has gone from an economically backward country to the second biggest economy on earth,” she said.
“It has every intention of being the first. And the Communist Party’s motives are clear. They’re building a massive, cutting-edge military, capable of threatening America and dominating Asia and beyond,” she added.
“In some respects, China’s military is already equal to the US armed forces. In other areas, they’re beating us. China’s leaders are so confident, they’re sending spy balloons into our skies and building a spy base just off our shores in Cuba.
“Make no mistake: The Communist Party is preparing for war. And China’s leaders intend to win,” she claimed.
