China, which has the world’s second-largest economy after the United States, has in recent years moved from competitor to economic adversary, engaging in a “soft” warfare targeting U.S. cyber and infrastructure systems, says Georgia GOP Rep. Austin Scott.
“They are no longer an aggressive economic competitor,” Scott said on a recent “John Solomon Reports” podcast. “They chose to become an adversary. They have gotten away with it for the last four years. They have embedded themselves through our cyber [and] our infrastructure systems.”
Scott says the forays particularly target the U.S. agricultural system and pharmaceutical industry, and also argues that China has done so effectively – in plain sight.
“Is this basically a form of soft warfare against America?,” Solomon asked Scott, a member of the House Intelligence panel.
