The sudden focus on China at this year's Conservative Political Action Conference marks a moment of flux for the right's foreign policy priorities
Last year, the title of a panel at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference posed a simple question — “What is the Biggest Threat to the U.S.?” — and offered three options: China, Russia or rogue states like North Korea.
This year’s sudden focus on China marks a moment of flux for conservative foreign policy priorities. The Islamic State is crippled, al-Qaida is quiet and public fear of terrorism is at a recent low. Meanwhile President Donald Trump, whose campaign is under investigation for possible collusion with the Kremlin, says the U.S.
Trump, who has taken a more confrontational approach to China than his recent predecessors, has presided over a hardening of conservative opinion toward the country. Before Trump’s rise and his pursuit of aggressive trade measures against China and other nations, free-market, pro-trade ideas dominated the conservative movement.
