Bernie Sanders’s Pathetic New China Strategy

Bernie Sanders is an ill-informed moron on China. Just as he is an ill-informed moron on the Middle East. Furthermore, Sanders never saw a tyrannical regime that he didn’t want to cooperate with or appease. All while weakening the United States, and endangering our most important allies. China wants to dominate the world. They don’t give a damn about your idiotic views on climate change or nuclear proliferation, Bernie! It’s unfortunate that so many Americans don’t realize how dangerous Bernie Sanders is.

Bernie Sanders’s Unimpressive New China Strategy

Story continues below advertisement

By National Review, June 29, 2021

Bernie Sanders has written an essay in Foreign Affairs, titled “Washington’s Dangerous New Consensus on China,” to sketch out the contours of a progressive China policy cognizant of the challenge posed by the Chinese Communist Party without giving into the emerging bipartisan attitude “that views the U.S.-Chinese relationship as a zero-sum economic and military struggle.”

Sanders isn’t the first progressive lawmaker to caution against giving in to that tendency. Since the middle of last month, when consideration of a massive China-focused legislative package came into sharper focus, Representative Ilhan Omar has urged her colleagues against adopting a “Cold War mentality.” This progressive vision for China policy sees fit to call out the Party’s worst human-rights abuses without accelerating the military buildup for which hawks have clamored.

But that strategic vision is still taking shape. As it stands now, if we are to take Sanders’s essay as its main expression, there’s not much meat on the bones. He writes that Americans should oppose intellectual-property theft, human-rights abuses, and China’s attempts to undermine international institutions. That’s all fine, but there’s no deviation yet from the new consensus that he opposes.
