Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane joined "America's News HQ" on Saturday to discuss the escalating tension between the United States and China, telling co-host Arthel Neville the communist nation is looking to take advantage of the coronavirus pandemic. "But it's indisputable that they have stepped up activity as a result of the COVID-19 virus," Keane said. "What they're attempting to do is weaken the resolve of our allies by demonstrating that the United States does not have the status it once had. The retired Army general said that the United States has stepped up activity and assured its allies they have the country's support. They are very aggressive in wanting to dominate the Western Pacific and replace the United States as a global leader in the world," Keane said.
