At a recent campaign stop, balked at the idea that competes with U.S. businesses. The apparently-clueless former vice president actually pointed to disadvantages in the geography of ’s territorial land. He also made a glib reference to corruption in Chinese society.
As if the most hallowed halls of the American government and economy weren’t rotten to the core. As if the Obama administration had actually punished Wall Street for all that corruption fat-cat bankers wrought in 2008.
Joe Biden on China: ‘They’re Not Competition’ for United States
Here’s the entire quote:
“ is going to eat our lunch? Come on man. They can’t even figure out how to deal with the fact that they have this great division between the sea and the mountains in the West. They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. I mean you know they’re not bad folks, folks, but guess what? They’re not competition for us.”
Biden on : “They’re not competition for us”
I was just at a manufacturing plant that is being threatened by ’s corrupt trade practices. Not to mention the national security threats they pose. Joe is plain wrong. is absolutely a threat.

But how seriously do we want to take the guy that thinks he can beat MAGA with “MAMAMARTTEOWWATDOTCTDOTPCOPWD?”
TONIGHT: Biden has a few notes on ‘s campaign slogan.

This is obviously not someone who’s dealing with the real world here. Nor does his lack of a coherent response for an obvious question make Mr. Biden seem like a candidate who’s actually running to win against in 2020. His lack of research to give a nuanced answer about and his lack of a competent alternative to MAGA reveal a woeful lack of serious preparation.
Seems kind of like he’s just going through the motions and along with the momentum. Much like he did throughout his entire unremarkable tenure as a senator from one of the smallest states in the union. He’s just happy to be in the spotlight and bask in all the attention.
Fact-Checking Joe Biden on China

absolutely represents a major competitive threat to many U.S. businesses. It’s patently false to say that is not competing with the U.S. in the global economy.
For decades now has relentlessly copied what’s worked in the West with terrifying efficiency. That’s modernized and grown its economy very quickly, but it doesn’t lead value creation the way innovation does. Now ’s starting to innovate.
That’s why even as billionaire technology investor Peter Thiel Silicon Valley to find the next “breakthrough innovation,” he’s looking to find one in ’s economy, where there are of unicorns (privately held companies worth $1 billion or more).
But don’t expect politicians to find the best solutions to the pressing urgency of global competition. The best thing American politicians can do for the American economy is getting out of our way. That’s what’s always worked best for America.
Not more handouts. Not more regulations. Not more security. But less government, lower taxes, and more freedom. Not the kind of thing you can expect from a Joe Biden presidency – not that there will ever be one.
