Nikki Haley says Biden doesn't criticize China by sharing clip from
news conference where the president ripped into Xi Jinping
Biden aims to check China's growing ambitions
Biden admin sanctions Chinese officials for abuses against Uyghurs
Biden tells Johnson they should build massive global
infrastructure plan to rival China
U.S., India, Japan and Australia counter China with billion-dose vaccine pact
The proposition that Republicans can lie about Biden's China policy as long as China lies to further its interests is a very odd one. Quite honestly, the moral sensibility of it eludes me.How about until China Joe tells the truth?
Rather than being pissy about either mainstream media sources or boutique outlets that pander to any particular ideological bias, I prefer to assess actual policies, and the President's getting tough with China while championing American values and forming partnerships with allies is auspicious.That is not going to happen. So it is what it is. But you do have known liars like NYT and WP on your side. That really shoots the talking points credibility down.
The former guy's raving alienated those allies, essential to global cooperation. In its resolve to check China's ambitions, the U.S. should be leading the international community of advanced, democratic nations, not whining about them.
"Let me just say that I believe that President Trump was right in taking a tougher approach to China," said Antony Blinken, Biden's secretary of state, during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee in January. Then, before the shock of that statement could sink in, he quickly added: "I disagree very much with the way that he went about it in a number of areas, but the basic principle was the right one, and I think that's actually helpful to our foreign policy."
Biden's Tough China Policy Poses Business Risk to Some of His Biggest Donors
The new president seems ready to follow the path set by his predecessor. That may not sit well with big campaign contributors from Wall Street to Silicon Valley to Hollywood, who are fixated on the massive—and still growing—Chinese market.

Republicans have obviously settled upon their phony meme, and the deliberately-misleading edited clip of Biden's words that accompanied Haley's fake claims are an irrefutable example of that deception. There is no shortage of issues concerning which Republicans can raise legitimate objections to Biden's policies.
Why lie when reasonable people see through the lie so easily - by noting the contradictory reality?
