India and China, the two largest and fastest growing economies of the world, are a good example of the difference between the threat posed by free versus unfree governments, according to a new book by Indian-American Nikki Haley that hit the stores on Tuesday.
Former US Ambassador to the UN Haley, in her latest book “With All Due Respect”, said that in contrast of the US’ growing partnership with India, the greatest foreign threat America faces today is China.
“China is working strategically to spread its financial and military presence across the globe-and not in a good way. China steals intellectual property. It helps North Korea cheat on sanctions,” Haley said.
“The Chinese manipulate their currency in ways that poison our trade relationship,” she said, adding that they are enlarging their military at a rapid pace.
“A good example of the difference between the threat posed by free versus unfree governments is two of the largest- and fastest- growing economies in the world: India and China,” Haley wrote in the book.
In her book, that is being promoted by US President Donald Trump on Twitter, the two-term Governor of South Carolina said that in addition to being a bad economic actor and a strategic threat, the Chinese government is one of the greatest human rights abusers in the world, she alleged. In their own country, it has created “re-education” camps against an ethnic and religious minority, and an Orwellian surveillance state to protect Communist Party control over its people,” she said.”It was high time to take a more aggressive approach to US trade with China,” she said.
Haley said that the US is committed to seeing that Iran never gets a nuclear weapon, because it would be catastrophic for the world.
