Vice President Mike Pence fired off a strong warning to China saying in a fiery speech, “We will not be intimidated, and we will not stand down.” He criticized China on several fronts, portraying the country as the foremost threat to the U.S.,

In particular, he went after China’s growing military and militarization of islands in the South China Sea, its trade practices and intellectual property theft, its increasing control of the Chinese public and crackdown on religious groups at home, its pressure campaign against political opposition or criticism in academia and entertainment and its political interference in the U.S. and around the world.
