Trump’s pick for VP says China is US’ ‘biggest threat’BloombergFormer US president Donald Trump’s choice of US Senator J.D. Vance as his running mate makes his break with the foreign policy old guard of his party complete. Vance even went so far as to brand China the biggest threat to the US in one of his first interviews since being named Trump’s running mate, underscoring the likely hawkish stance of their administration toward Beijing if elected.

Vance’s views would be a boon to Taiwan and other Asian nations, which have warned about growing Chinese encroachment.
