DeSantis Campaign Press Release - Ron DeSantis: "We've got to beat [China] on the economy, and so that's what we'll do as President."

Simi Valley, Calif. – During the second Republican presidential primary debate tonight, Ron DeSantis said:

"I think you look at how our societies develop. They have a huge amount of power over our society. They've cracked down on free speech. We're not saying you don't want them to do business, but you want it to be a free market. And right now there are monopolies. But this issue of China, I think, is really going to be fundamental. We have subcontracted out so much of our national needs to the CCP. We rely on them for a whole host of issues. We need to reshore, and we need to decouple all those important industries. We need to get that back in the United States. They are our top geopolitical adversary by a country mile. Xi Jinping's got huge ambitions, not only in the Asia Pacific, but as you mentioned earlier, in our region. But ultimately we've got to beat them on the economy, and so that's what we'll do as President of the United States."
