U.S. Leaders Must Stand Up to China

Karla Jones, ALEC Senior Director for the Federalism and International Relations Task Force, was featured on NewsNet TV adding expert insight into the geo-political implications of Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan.

Karla Jones tells NewsNet she hopes violence against the Speaker or anyone else does not occur as a result of the visit. She says she is also concerned about other steps China can take in retaliation against Taiwan.

"In the lead-up to this, China has been banning exports from Taiwan. So they might exact economic revenge. If you look at Hong Kong, they are perfectly capable of taking over another sovereign entity. So I think that's why it's so important that people like Speaker Pelosi stand up to China," Jones told us.
