As the Republican candidates tried to stand out as the toughest critic of the Chinese Communist Party during the second GOP primary debate, biotech entrepreneur and anti-woke author Vivek Ramaswamy was attacked from all sides over his business ties to the country.
Seven candidates took part in the debate on 27 September at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library in Simi Valley, California, with South Carolina Senator Tim Scott, former Vice President Mike Pence, former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis slammed Mr Ramaswamy for his previous ties to China.
