Time Text
Ronald Reagan went at the Soviet Union before he was president, and he went at them on their values and their rights.
He went at them and he said, look at what happens to the Jewish refuseniks.
Look what happens to the evangelicals by the godless communist that he would use.
He'd use very pejorative terms.
But what he was doing, he's speaking with clarity to the United States community and the broader freedom-loving community about who we're up against.
And I do believe the president needs to start speaking in those types of terms about who we are up against.
If Secretary of State Rubio flew to Dharm Salah and met with the Dalai Lama and endorsed his third way approach of a separate independent Tibet inside of China, that freaks Chinese leadership out.
If the president were to meet with Falen Gong leaders in the White House, that creates huge pressure internally inside of China.
These are the sort of things that don't really cost any money, but the visual imagery of it, if the president were to meet in the Oval Office with a series of people that have been persecuted by Chinese Communist Party and just has them tell their story, that creates leverage because it shows what system we are up against.
And that's what we really need to do, in my estimation, more than anything right now.
This just isn't an economic competition.
This isn't a competition between the largest economy and the second largest economy.
This is a competition of ideals.
