Ronna McDaniel writes for the Daily Caller:
Since securing the nod to the Democratic nomination, Joe Biden has been busy trying to rewrite history and his record of being soft on China. Despite making a career out of kowtowing to the Chinese Communist Party, Biden, along with the media and Democratic establishment, are trying to argue that the same man who as recently as last year said China is “not our problem” nor “our competition” would be tougher on Beijing in office than President Trump.
Also rushing to Biden’s defense is a high-minded sounding group called “The Lincoln Project,” a political action committee founded by a cadre of nominally – and in many cases former – Republican strategists who have taken it upon themselves to “protect American democracy by defeating President Trump.”
Cue their latest ad, which bizarrely tries to make the case that because Ivanka Trump’s former fashion company received trademarks from China, President Trump has been unduly influenced by his own financial interests rather than committed to putting the American people first. Of course, the entire premise of the ad is ridiculous.
One of the many great things about our just signed giant Trade Deal with China is that it will bring both the USA & China closer together in so many other ways. Terrific working with President Xi, a man who truly loves his country. Much more to come!

China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!

Just had a long and very good conversation by phone with President Xi of China. He is strong, sharp and powerfully focused on leading the counterattack on the Coronavirus. He feels they are doing very well, even building hospitals in a matter of only days. Nothing is easy, but…

….he will be successful, especially as the weather starts to warm & the virus hopefully becomes weaker, and then gone. Great discipline is taking place in China, as President Xi strongly leads what will be a very successful operation. We are working closely with China to help!
