President-elect Joe Biden’s pick to head the Office of the Director of National Intelligence offered a direct answer to a yes-or-no question about whether the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is an adversary of the United States.
Avril Haines, who is Biden’s nominee to be director of national intelligence, told lawmakers on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence as part of her confirmation hearing on Jan. 19 that China is an adversary in some areas while a partner in others, such as climate change.
