“I can’t believe what Joe Biden is letting China do. Chinese companies now own over 380,000 acres of American soil, including some right next to our military bases. What are we doing? We don’t should never let an enemy buy land in our country. And we have to tell every university – you can either take Chinese money or American money, but you’re not going to get both anymore,” Haley said. , articulating its policy on China.
China thinks the American era is over, as do all enemies of the United States, the former South Carolina governor has said. “But they’re wrong. America hasn’t passed its peak. It’s just that our politicians have passed theirs,” she said.

“The Democratic Party is now a socialist party. Bernie Sanders and the AOC (Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez) are at least honest about it. Look how much taxpayer money Biden has wasted since taking office “On Joe Biden’s watch, we’ve reached $31 billion in national debt. He’s put us on track to add another $20 trillion over the next 10 years,” she said. declared.

“I have a special message for you, my fellow conservatives. We have lost the popular vote in seven of the last eight presidential elections. Our cause is just, but we have failed to win the confidence of a majority of “Americans. This ends now. . If you’re sick of losing, then trust a new generation. And if you want to win – not just as a party, but as a country – then support me,” she said.
