Attorney General Bill Barr delivered an ominous warning about China’s geopolitical intentions during a speech in Washington on Thursday, relaying a story from his college days to make his point about the country's ambitions. But China, the student said at the time, wanted to own the world and that was a bit more difficult. U.S. officials are also worried that China is threatening to become the dominant world force in the race to transition to 5G. Aside from serving as the attorney general once before, Barr also spent several years in the telecom industry and used that experience to sound another dire warning. “China wants the fruits of America’s brainpower to harvest the seeds of its planned economic dominance,” said John Demers, the assistant attorney general for the National Security Division.
