China Policy Initiative
For decades, D.C. insiders and Wall Street elites perpetuated the lie that American engagement with Communist China would cause that nation to open, to liberalize, and to reform. Even as evidence accumulated to the contrary, some benefitted from this deception, continuing to profit off of China at the expense of America’s stature and America’s workers. AFPI advances policies that confront an existential rival to our Nation and our livelihood.
