WASHINGTON — Today, Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel released the following statement on Joe Biden’s virtual summit with the Chinese Communist Party:

“No amount of empty words and broken promises will erase Joe Biden’s long history of ignoring the Chinese Communist Party’s imminent threat, while putting America last. As he turns a blind eye to human rights atrocities to pursue his political agenda, Biden has allowed China to threaten American security and our allies’ sovereignty, while undermining the advancement of freedom across the globe. In just a few short months, Biden has weakened our standing in the world and has left our allies in Taiwan, Afghanistan, and elsewhere to fend for themselves against an increasing Chinese Communist Party threat to the region and the world.”
