Biden administration’s ‘dismal’ China policy faulted on Capitol Hill

NEWS AND ANALYSIS:
The Biden administration has failed to win the strategic competition with China through ineffective policies toward Beijing, the senior Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said this week.
Sen. Jim Risch of Idaho faulted the policies in a highly critical opening statement on Tuesday at a committee hearing with Deputy Secretary of State Kurt Campbell. He noted Beijing’s global ambitions, its trafficking in deadly fentanyl and its spying post in Cuba as evidence.
The Chinese activities “demonstrate a desire to target the United States and undermine our efforts to prioritize resources to compete with them,” Mr. Risch said. “The administration wrongly insists it is winning the competition with China. [It is] not so.”
