As Biden downplays China threat, Romney has a new warning
< < Go Back
Former Vice President Joe Biden expressed his lack of concern over China as a global competitor to the U.S. at a rally on Wednesday, prompting a grim response from Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah.
Biden boasted his credentials to an Iowa crowd, saying he has met “virtually every world leader” as vice president and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee over the past 30 years, emphasizing that it’s “not hyperbole.”
The 2020 Democratic frontrunner then mocked those who have taken China seriously.
“China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man!” Biden exclaimed. “The fact that they have this great division between the China Sea and the mountains in the East — I mean in the West. They can’t figure out how they’re going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. They’re not bad folks, folks. But guess what, they’re not competition for us.”
That sparked a reaction from Romney, who ran against Biden’s running mate, former President Barack Obama, in 2012.
“This will not age well,” Romney predicted.
