Observing that China poses the single greatest geopolitical threat to the United States, top American Senators, cutting across party lines and ideological divides, on May 20 told Secretary of State Marco Rubio that they have no choice but to deter China across the board and outcompete it.

“I believe China is America's greatest long-term competitor. But the previous administration treated China like an ally we disagree with rather than an aggressor that takes advantage of America and our allies at every level,” Senator James Risch, Chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, said during a Congressional hearing on the annual budget of the State Department.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio testified before the powerful Senate Committee. Risch said that the Chinese government is fundamentally different from the United States.
