Summary

What danger does China actually pose to America? How closely are China and Russia working together? Is the Biden administration doing enough to prepare for foreign policy threats?

America and China are in a “global competition for economic and military dominance,” says Rep. Michael McCaul, R-Texas.

If America does not take strategic action now, our children will be the ones bearing the burden of that tension between China and America, the Texas lawmaker says.

McCaul, the ranking member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how Russia and China view America right now, and how the U.S. can take steps to prepare for international threats.

We also cover these stories:

President Joe Biden outlines additional steps the U.S. could take as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine continues.
NATO calls on China to stop supporting Russian "war efforts" in Ukraine and instead use its "significant influence" to push for peace.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom signs legislation forcing insurance companies to pick up more of the costs of abortions.
