Haley Campaign Press Release - Nikki Haley is China's Worst Nightmare

August 23, 2023

"I will tell the audience, you've got a strong, long record of being tough against China."
– FOX Business' Charles Payne

While other candidates squabbled over climate change and energy, Nikki Haley proved she's the adult in the room and told the American people the truth: The only way to protect our clean air and water is to go after the top polluters—China and India. Haley will withdraw America from the Paris climate deal on day one and stop giving China a free pass. She will also repeal Biden's green energy subsidies and mandates that make America dependent on China. Haley has been the most outspoken candidate on combating the growing China threat, and she is China's worst nightmare.

Haley released a comprehensive plan that tackles China domestically, economically, and militarily.

Haley released the second phase of her China plan in July.

Haley has a long record of standing up to China.

  • In 2023, Haley criticized other candidates in the race for failing to understand that a Russian win in Ukraine is a win for China.
  • In 2021, Haley was one of the few political leaders who called for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics.
  • In 2021, Haley wrote two op-eds criticizing American corporations for being hypocritical on China.
  • In April 2020, Haley wrote an op-ed warning of the threats posed by China.
  • In 2020, Nikki wrote two pieces about the need to separate from China and become more self-reliant.
  • In 2019, Haley gave a major speech on China in which she called on the world to wake up to the increasing Chinese threat.
  • In 2019, Haley wrote an op-ed about the threat of China taking over Hong Kong.
  • In 2017-2018, Haley convinced China and Russia to sign onto the toughest set of sanctions ever against North Korea.
