Brentwood, TN — The Chinese Embassy responded to U.S. Senator Blackburn’s new ad, “Breaking China.”
View here.
Senator Blackburn isn’t backing down from the fight, saying, “Looks like Communist China got the message: we are not going to tolerate them stealing our jobs, buying up U.S. land, and cheating on trade. Communist China is our greatest national security threat, and it’s time we treat them as such. Like I said, it’s time to start breaking China.”
The Chinese Communist Party has previously threatened Senator Blackburn with sanctions.
