That that is the challenge before us that\u2019s going to define the 21st century,\u201d Rubio outlined on Fox News Channel\u2019s \u201cAmerica\u2019s Newsroom.\u201d \u201cSo, one of the problems we have is they, spy. They spy at our universities, they steal technology secrets, trade secrets, research everything else that we do. So, we had this China initiative at the Justice Department under Trump to go after that espionage. Well, now that\u2019s been canceled. And that\u2019s been canceled because a bunch of people out there went out and started arguing it was xenophobic \u2026 ignoring the fact, for example, that a significant percentage of the people that have been investigated and caught up in the China initiative aren\u2019t Chinese Americans. They\u2019re Americans who were getting paid or getting other benefits to turn over their research to China. So, they canceled that initiative.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cLikewise, I mean, you talk about, on the one hand, all these things we need to do to create independence from China, but on the other, you have this Green New Deal proposal. China is ramping up coal production,\u201d he continued. \u201cThey are not only ramping up coal production in their own country, they\u2019re funding all kinds of coal-fired plants all over the world. They don\u2019t have time for any Green New Deal. And here we are begging for their solar panels, the batteries that they make and all that so we can destroy our economy while they continue to build theirs at our expense.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Trent Baker\u00a0on Twitter\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/MagnifiTrent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">@MagnifiTrent<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) on Wednesday lamented the Biden administration\u2019s efforts to push Green New Deal policies and its handling of China.
