WASHINGTON—U.S. national security adviser John Bolton has vowed to further intensify the Trump administration’s tough approach to China, saying Beijing’s “behavior needs to be adjusted in the trade area, in the international, military and political areas.”

Speaking in a radio interview on the Hugh Hewitt Show, recorded on Oct. 11 and aired on Oct. 12, Bolton said President Donald Trump believes China has taken advantage of the international order for far too long and not enough Americans have stood up to the Beijing regime.
