'Joe Biden has a big China problem': Trump preps campaign assault on fall foe

President Trump's reelection campaign has two main targets, Joe Biden and China, and plans to tie the two relentlessly until November.
Team Trump is preparing to make the former vice president's remarks about familial ties to the communist country a focal point of its campaign strategy. The political ammunition is extensive, with years of video and recorded speeches reminding people of what the campaign calls Biden's coziness with Beijing.
And it comes at a time the Trump administration is increasingly pointing fingers at China as the source of the coronavirus pandemic. The disease was first identified in December 2019 in Wuhan, the capital of China's Hubei province, and has since spread globally. More than 2.16 million cases have been reported across 201 countries and territories, resulting in more than 145,000 deaths, including 34,784 in the United States.
Those close to the Trump campaign say internal polling suggests it's one of Biden's biggest weaknesses.
