In a recent interview, Pennsylvania Republican U.S. Senate candidate David McCormick outlined a series of tough actions that could be taken against China to address the growing concerns over the country's aggressive behavior. McCormick emphasized the importance of reducing America's dependence on China and ensuring that the nation does not support China's techno-authoritarian regime.
One of the key actions suggested by McCormick is to decrease reliance on lithium batteries, particularly in the context of the booming electric vehicle industry. He alerted to the potential dangers of repeating the same mistakes made with semiconductors and pharmaceuticals during the COVID-19 pandemic, which highlighted the vulnerability of supply chains. Additionally, McCormick stressed the need to halt strategic purchases of American farmland, as this can be leveraged as a key strategic asset.
