WATCH: Hugo Gurdon says ‘at last there seems to be some leadership’ as GOP pushes back on China

Washington Examiner EHugo Gurdon, ditor-in­Chief, observed that China’s influence has been neglected in recent decades. He claimed that the Chinese government is trying dispense with the United States as the leading power in the world.

“There has been a terrible lack of leadership in Washington making it perfectly clear, denouncing China and talking to the American people about the challenge that this country faces in the way that Ronald Reagan did when the enemy was the Soviet Union,” Gurdon shared his story with Maria Bartiromo from Fox Business.

“One good thing is that, at last, there seems to be some leadership up on Capitol Hill,” He concluded. “Mike Gallagher, a congressman from Wisconsin who heads the China committee and is a rising star, is, at last, saying the clear things that need to be said to galvanize America, to realize the challenge it faces from this rising power of China.”

Gurdon highlighted many ways China has fought back against the U.S., such as supporting the fentanyl crisis in China and supporting Russia’s war against Ukraine.

He also pointed out the House GOP Hunter Biden Investigation that linked payments from a Chinese oil company to Hallie Biden. This investigation was initiated by Beau Biden, the widow and son of President Joe Biden.

“There is obviously an unfortunate connection between the fact that [China] is paying millions of dollars to the Biden family for we know not what, is the United States’s principal adversary, and, frankly, is determined to displace this country as the leading power in the world.”
