Carafano: Trump gained respect from China when he would 'poke them'

Jim Carafano of the Heritage Foundation tells Marc Cox, "I hope it annoys them," when the Chinese receive word that there are American troops in Taiwan training their soldiers.

Carafano appreciated former President Donald Trump's approach to Chinese relations, "We should learn a lesson from Trump. Trump figured out how to gain the respect and the attention of the Chinese and that was to poke them. And when you poke them, and they realized that they were bucking up against something, they either stopped or they started to get serious about dealing with you. The Trump way of dealing with them was exactly right."


"If Biden were smart he'd actually go back and start doing it," says Carafano. "The Taiwanese President, I think, is actually leading the way, rather than lying about it or saying it's not a big deal, she's like, 'Yeah, we're trying to defend ourselves, what are you going to do about it?' That's how we should be leading forward."
