Republican Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke issued a warning over what he called U.S. 'vulnerability' to China following a bipartisan meeting with the Taiwanese president.
"China and the Pacific have both national security interests and economic interests, and freedom interests. So I think it's helpful to stand together," he said.
Despite the issue of threats over Taiwan's sovereignty, Zinke said he saw China as more of a"competitor that has aggressive tones" than an adversary. He also referenced China's contributions to making global environmental problems worse, as well as their"aggressiveness" when it came to Hong Kong and their relationship with Russia.
"China is the world's largest emitter of CO2… 90% of the world's plastics in the ocean come from four rivers in China," Zinke said."They are the largest illegal fishing operation. I know in our territories, American Samoa and Guam, the fishing industry is just being wrecked by the actions of China."
