Remarks unbefitting of a commerce secretary: China Daily editorial

China Daily  

US Secretary of Commerce Gina M. Raimondo speaks at the "Senior Chinese Leader Event" held by the National Committee on US-China Relations and the US-China Business Council on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit in San Francisco, California, US, Nov 15, 2023. Showing the extent to which Washington and the Joe Biden administration have lost the plot, US Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo in a speech on Saturday exposed how the country's makers and shapers of policy are fueling and manipulating the pervading sense of paranoia in the country to support their zero-sum, burn-it-all approach to global affairs. Yet in her incongruous appearance at the Reagan Defense Forum, which describes itself as the nation's premier defense forum — where "key stakeholders come together to address the health of national defense and to promote policies to strengthen the US military" — Raimondo delivered a speech that calculatedly conflated the three. This time the menu masters seem to have hit pay dirt as China's rapid economic growth and technological progress are ready gist for scuttlebutting like Raimondo's.
