A House committee on China will hear testimony Tuesday evening regarding current U.S.-China relations and tensions between the U.S., China and Russia.
"Some policy pundits tend to see the [Chinese Communist Party] as a romantic partner who has been wronged, and who needs to be soothed and reassured and treated to 'trust-building' measures as a way of stabilizing the relationship," Pottinger plans to say tonight, per the excerpt."This is inaccurate. The CCP should be thought of as a hungry shark that will keep eating until its nose bumps into a metal barrier. Sharks aren't responsive to mood music.
"But nor do they take it personally when they see divers building a shark cage. For them, it's just business. It's what they do. The more resolutely and unapologetically we take steps to defend our national security, the more that boundaries will be respected and the more stable the balance of power is likely to be...It does us little good to repeat again and again that we aren't seeking a new Cold War when the CCP has been stealthily waging one against us for years.
Above, former National Security Council member Matthew Pottinger testifies during a hearing by the House Select Committee to investigate the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., on July 21, 2022. Pottinger will be one of four witnesses to speak to the House Select Committee on China regarding recent aerial objects shot down over the U.S., as well as heightened tensions in the Russia-Ukraine war.
