NATIONAL HARBOR, Md.—The increasingly rising threat that the Chinese communist regime poses to the United States was a hot topic at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the nation’s largest annual gathering of conservatives.
At a panel discussion on Feb. 27 titled “The Present Danger: China” and moderated by Frank Gaffney, executive chairman of the Center for Security Policy, a Republican lawmaker, framed the communist regime as “insidious,” while China experts criticized Beijing for its efforts to deflect blame for China’s COVID-19 outbreak onto the United States.
