"Vivek Ramaswamy: US-China Tensions Expose Dependency Fears"

Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy warned that the United States is too dependent on China and promised to push back on China's reach into U.S. domestic affairs if elected. He highlighted China's manufacturing of fentanyl, ownership of TikTok, and American debt holdings as contributing to the U.S.'s "addiction" to Chinese President Xi Jinping. Ramaswamy argued that the country needs to strengthen American core values among its youth to combat Chinese influence. He also emphasized the importance of teaching civics and promoting patriotism among young people.
