Trump 2016 Adviser Bannon Praises Biden’s ‘Buy American’ Plan: ‘I Tip My Hat to Them’
“They are essentially trying to steal the Trump program of 2016 and steal that playbook. For some reason, the White House and the campaign have been caught flat-footed,” Bannon said on his radio show Thursday. “Biden has very smart people around him, particularly on the economic side.”

As a result of this legacy, China has perceived its sovereignty in the region as being challenged by the West. While active promotion of insurgency has ended, the United States has nevertheless sought to indirectly encourage separatism through tools such as Radio Free Asia and as a result, the United States has failed to establish trust with Beijing on this issue.
