The United States must do more to understand how China’s communist regime is leveraging economic coercion and statecraft against it, according to Rep. Ami Bera (D-Calif.).
“It’s extremely important that the United States administration, whether it’s a Democratic or Republican administration, understands how China uses economic coercion,” Bera said during a webinar hosted by the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), a Washington-based think tank.
