The newest Republican presidential candidate is calling for a harsher stance on China. Biotech entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy—who declared his candidacy—posted this on Twitter:
“I’m calling for a Declaration of Independence from China. Total decoupling. Xi Jinping shot China’s economy last year as part of his egomaniacal quest for a 3rd term. This gives us a window to hit them hard *economically* while it hurts. As President I will take that opportunity.”
