Hudson Institute, Washington, DC. Vice President Mike Pence announces the new American doctrine toward China. It stems from analyses anticipated months earlier in a National Security Strategy document. It accuses China of violating WTO trade rules by imposing tariffs, forcing technology transfers, stealing intellectual property, recklessly using public subsidies, and devaluing its currency. This represents a change of course by the Trump administration in the face of what is perceived as an economic, technological, political, and even military threat.
