Darrell Issa Slams Biden Administration Over China Trip<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Once again, the Biden administration yielded to Chinese demands and got embarrassed on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-us-department-of-state-issues-warnings-this-morning-the-chinese-communist-party-poses-a-real-threat\/\" title=\"BREAKING: US Department of State Issues Warnings This Morning \u2013 \u201cThe Chinese Communist Party Poses a Real Threat\u201d\">world stage<\/a>,&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They can maintain it doesn\u2019t matter, but make no mistake: With Biden at the helm, America is losing ground to Beijing. Pretending it doesn\u2019t matter just shows the limits of their spin after the fact.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) has criticized the Biden administration for downplaying the recent trip of two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fncs-carlson-if-youre-looking-for-election-rigging-look-no-further-than-media-treatment-of-hunter-biden-saga\/\" title=\"FNC's Carlson: 'If You're Looking for Election Rigging, Look No Further' Than Media Treatment of Hunter Biden Saga\">senior officials<\/a> to China. The officials visited China on the 34th anniversary of the Tiananmen Square massacre, which resulted in the deaths of hundreds, and likely thousands, of Chinese protesters in 1989.<\/p>\n<p>The San Diego conservative pushed back on a comment from National Security Council spokesman John Kirby that appeared to dismiss concerns about the timing of the trip. Kirby denied the timing of the trip was a &#8220;misstep&#8221; and claimed that critics who are making a fuss over the timing of the trip are &#8220;making a whole heck of a lot out of nothing.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The administration sent Daniel Kritenbrink, the assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs, and Sarah Beran, the National Security Council&#8217;s senior director for China and Taiwan affairs, to China to discuss &#8220;key issues in the bilateral relationship,&#8221; according to the State Department.<\/p>\n<p>Issa has also claimed that the trip gave a &#8220;major coup&#8221; to Chinese President Xi Jinping by sending the officials there on that specific date.<\/p>\n<h3>The Tiananmen Square Protests<\/h3>\n<p>The Tiananmen Square protests, which began on April 15, centered on a call for less censorship by the Chinese government and greater freedom. But the protests, which stretched on for over a month, ended in a massacre by the Communist Party on June 4 when tanks and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/former-new-york-times-journalist-brent-renaud-killed-in-ukraine\/\" title=\"Former New York Times Journalist Brent Renaud Killed In Ukraine\">troops opened fire<\/a> and crushed protesters. Official reports from China claim that 200 civilians were killed in the protests, but historians believe the real number is much higher.<\/p>\n<h3>ESG Emerges as Sleeper Issue in the 2024 Presidential Campaign<\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, ESG has emerged as a sleeper issue in the 2024 presidential campaign. Investors are increasingly looking for companies that prioritize environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. As a result, candidates are being asked to take a stance on ESG and how they plan to address it if elected.<\/p>\n<h3>Conclusion<\/h3>\n<p>Issa&#8217;s criticism of the Biden administration highlights the ongoing tension between the US and China. As the two countries continue to compete for global dominance, it remains to be seen how the Biden administration will navigate this complex relationship.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Key Takeaways:<\/b><\/li>\n<li>Rep.
