Kim Strassel: China Testing Its Influence over Democrats, Including Bidens

EXCERPT:

STRASSEL: "Oh, absolutely. You know, one of the best examples of that was its recent jailing of Jimmy Lai, who obviously is a publisher and an enormous free speech advocate in Hong Kong. Those pictures of him being led away in chains was incredibly provocative. And I would have to say that if you were China, you're very happy with what you think you're now getting in this incoming administration, because Joe Biden hasn’t addressed this issue. Some of his advisers have talked about the need for China to recognize Hong Kong, their ability to manage their own democracy, but they have not actually addressed this one provocation. And that provocation was aimed to see how would Joe Biden react."
