Rep. Mike Waltz: China Is ‘the Most Serious Adversary’ U.S. Has Ever Faced

EXCERPT:

WALTZ: “So, you know, look, I think — I agree with my colleague, Ro Khanna, the President should start with China tonight, he needs to describe it for what it is, which is the most serious adversary we have ever faced. Because, even against the Soviet Union, we never faced one that could rival us economically and technologically at the same time they could militarily. And so, that’s — we need to hear from the President, I believe, that this spy balloon was a Sputnik moment for all Americans. We have been talking about this tidal wave of espionage that we’re facing, but often that is obviously behind the scenes. This was very visible, very tangible, and I think it should serve as a wake-up call now for the new cold war that we’re in, just as it did back in the 1950s against the Soviet Union and their satellite.”
