Harris, Trump cross swords on China and economy in debate

Hindustan Times  

US presidential hopefuls Kamala Harris and Donald Trump clashed on China and economic issues Tuesday, with the Democratic candidate saying he "sold us out" on China while the former president declared "they've destroyed the economy." "He invited trade wars," Harris said, referring to a tit-for-tat escalation of tariffs between the United States and China during Trump's 2017-2021 presidency. Harris also took aim at Trump on Tuesday for thanking Chinese President Xi Jinping in 2020 for his country's handling of Covid-19, saying this was despite a lack of "transparency" about the virus's origins. Republican candidate Trump, in turn, claimed that Harris "has no policy" and said that the Biden-Harris administration has kept his administration's tariffs on China in place.
