Scott Walker: Obama should show ‘some backbone’ by canceling Chinese state visit
Angry anti-China rhetoric from U.S. politicians escalated Monday as Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) called on President Obama to cancel Chinese President Xi Jinping's state visit to the White House next month.
Walker cited the economic turmoil Monday that roiled U.S. stock markets, which analysts said began over concerns about China's slowing growth, as the latest in a string of provocations from Beijing.
"Why would we be giving one of our highest things a president can do -- and that is a state dinner for Xi Jinping, the head of China -- at a time when all of these problems are pending out there?" Scott Walker told reporters following a visit to the Carolina Pregnancy Center in Spartanburg, S.C., on Monday afternoon. "We should say those... honors should only be bestowed upon leaders and countries that are allies and supporters of the United States, not just for China, which is a strategic competitor."
Walker said that a disinvitation would be a diplomatic move that other countries would respect.
"I think China, as others in the world, would actually respect some leadership once and for all from the United States. Part of our problem right now is that they don't respect us," Walker said. "...This is sending a clear message that we expect better out of China."
