Finally a politician that understands the CCP. He is completely correct

[Oldfogey]

Not just a threat to UK and US but to the rest of the world….

Diplomatic recognition for Taiwan would be a good start.

[SueUTube]

The irony is China would be North Korea if not for western trade. And they will be if they ever get the world the way they want it.

if mainland china is a threat why would the US allow them to buy properties or be in the stock market in the US or in UK?

[tidbit]

What a simpleton; hard power should be used as a last resort, what the US needs to do is build an alliance with all the other western countries and reduce the amount of goods they buy from China. We can get these goods elsewhere, and using economic pressure we can force China to do whatever we want; have elections, independent judiciary, bill of rights, etc. etc.

The British are still living in the past.

What exactly is the threat? What happened to cooperation and diplomacy? China and America together could accomplish a lot, but no one even wants to try. Russia is the belligerent, impossible nation. China seems reasonable, but unwilling to be patronized or placated. So treat them with respect as an equal. It might be that simple.

What type of freedom are they talking about 😂😂😂

As an American, I'm obviously largely fine with the U.S. pushing its idea's to the lead in regards to formulating policy with its allies and partners...EXCEPT when it's England and (to a very, very slightly smaller extent) Australia. I can't say as to why, but there's a part of me that gets a bit nervous when thinking of the U.S. going fully against any misgivings England may have on any major issue. The U.S. is an insanely powerful nation, and as of today, it's basically uncontested. No matter who it is, that COULD be a dangerous thing to the rest of the world. Someone has to be able to whisper in our ear from time to time...

From what we know about dictatorships why were we cosying up to them for as long as i can remember?

[ricktasker]

Such a relief that a powerful Republican congressman backs U.S. policy in Ukraine, Russia and China.

[theloniousm]

"Putin is Xi's tethered goat". lol Nice!

[mukenditshibangu]

LOOK AT THIS SATELLITES GUY HE DON'T KNOW THAT THE WORLD IS CHANGING

[frederikbjerre]

We pumped up CCP with money and technology, about time for the politicians to wake up.

[clarkduncan]

What have they done to anyone apart from nothing....

[Thegreycomrade]

The biggest threat? How many wars/conflicts has china been in the past 100years? How many wars/conflicts has the USA or UK been in? That should tell you everything about whos a threat

[edwardlatimer]

USSR China Korea Syria Iran When democracy is implemented in these regimes their will be peace until then war

[gilbertroberttuahuru]

The UK will teach the Chinese not to mess in their affairs, they should know by past events. Glory freedom to Ukraine.

[charlessmyth]

[3:34} Which is why, if the Chinese attack Taiwan, the counter-offensive will begin in the landfall of Beijing and Shanghai, not the south China sea :-)
