Fifth GOP presidential primary debate: on Free Trade

Nikki Haley: Take back land that China bought; trade with friends instead

HALEY: China is our number one national security threat. I fought them every single day at the U.N. The first thing we have to do is we have to make sure we stop selling them any land and we take back the land they already purchased. We need to go to our universities and we say, "you either take Chinese money or you take American money but the days of taking both are over." We need to stop all of the technologies that are going to China. Biden approved 70% of them. Trump approved even more than that. We have to tell them we're going to end all normal trade relations with them until they stop murdering Americans with fentanyl. But the biggest thing, [for] China in terms of trade, we will move that trade to where we have friends. We will go and build partnerships, India, Japan, South Korea, Philippines, Australia, Israel. We will go and move that trade over.
