Former deputy national security adviser Matt Pottinger said that an effective U.S. strategy on China could potentially result in “regime collapse” driven by members of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

During an interview with CNN on April 29, Mr. Pottinger said that members of the CCP are “extremely concerned” about the direction that China’s leader, Xi Jinping, is steering their country.
