Ramaswamy campaign defends former CEO’s ‘awakening’ on China after 2018 partnership with CCP-backed firm
Fox News
Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy is taking a hawk-like approach to China after previously doing business in the Communist state as the CEO of Roivant.
"Unless you stop turning our companies into lobbying pawns, unless you actually play by the same set of rules abiding by the same standards we agreed to, then we're cutting the cord," he said. "You will not buy land in this country. You will not donate to universities in this country. You will not turn companies into your Trojan horses. Our companies will not expand into your Chinese market." Jessica Chasmar is an editor on the politics team for Fox News and Fox Business. Story tips can be sent to Jessica.Chasmar@fox.com.
Ramaswamy, who has described China as the "greatest external threat to America," issued the same sentiment during an interview with Fox News in June, saying he supports banning companies from doing business in China.
