Senate Candidate Dave McCormick Proposes Overhaul of U.S.-China Relations

McCormick's six-step plan includes banning China from international organizations and stopping the flow of Chinese fentanyl into the U.S., despite criticism over his past investments in China.

• Dave McCormick, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, has proposed a six-step plan to overhaul U.S.-China relations, including banning China from the World Health Organization and advocating for its exclusion from the World Trade Organization.
• McCormick also wants to stop the flow of Chinese fentanyl ingredients and drug money into the United States, and if China refuses to cooperate, he suggests using sanctions, intelligence resources, and military interdictions at sea.
• He proposes ending any U.S. investment or trade that benefits the Chinese Communist Party's national security, and banning strategic purchases of American land by the Communist Party.
• McCormick's critics point to his own record as hypocritical, noting the significant increase in Chinese investments his company, Bridgewater Associates, took on while he was CEO.
• Despite his past business dealings in China, McCormick argues that his experience equips him well to take on the issue.
