Vivek Ramaswamy, who entered the race for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination last month, is calling on the United States to adopt a “Declaration of Independence” that would end its economic entanglement with China.

Comparing China with the Soviet Union, Ramaswamy said on Sunday that the key difference between the two communist regimes is that the latter had never so deeply embedded itself in the U.S. market.
