We need to reimagine our nation’s competitive posture toward China.  There has been a decided lack of results in policy that has resulted in human rights violations, decreased efforts in combating pollution and man-made causes of Climate Change, and the use of the COVID pandemic to increase their economic ambitions around the globe.  

Because of the disastrous withdrawal and fallout of the Afghanistan withdrawal, we need to bolster the U.S. diplomatic strategy in addressing challenges posed by China and reaffirm America’s commitment to its allies in the Indo-Pacific region and around the world.   

We need to invest in universal values, authorizing a broad range of human rights and civil society measures, including supporting democracy in Hong Kong, genuine autonomy for Tibet, and imposing sanctions concerning forced labor, forced sterilization, and other abuses in Xinjiang.
