Remarks of Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fl) at the House Hearing "Smart Competition: Adapting U.S. Strategy Toward China at 40 Years" on May 8, 2019. ‘Anywhere But China’
Rep. Ted Yoho (R-Fla.) said that the Chinese Communist leader thinks that the era of China has arrived; and China wants to take the world’s center stage.
“They steal intellectual property from corn seeds to computer technology. Huawei came to my university and wanted to fund 100 percent a cyber security program,” Yoho said.
“We're already naive, but not stupid. You know, they have an aggressive path forward, and their goal is to build five new deep-water aircraft carriers by 2030. And I bet they do. Yet we have fed this monster—I don't want to call them an enemy—we have fed this economy by allowing our manufacturers to go over there, and it's time for America to wake up.”
Yoho said America should adopt an “ABC” manufacturing policy and defeat China economically.
“We need to have a policy called the ABC policy—Anywhere But China—for manufacturing. Our manufacturers need to get out of China, and go anywhere but China. We don't want a head on conflict with China; nobody wants that in the world. And so the only way we can counter that is economically. And if we starve the economic engine, Xi Jinping will have to turn and adapt to the policies in the world,” Yoho said.
