Indian-American Congressman Ro Khanna is in the early stages of planning a Congressional delegation visit to China, following a similarly successful trip to India that took place just a month ago. This upcoming delegation is intended to be a bipartisan effort, reflecting Khanna’s commitment to addressing economic imbalances and trade issues. In an interview with Fox News, Khanna acknowledged his criticism of the trade deficit and his call for rebalancing the economic relationship between the United States and China.
Khanna’s recent bipartisan visit to India was well-received, and as a representative of Silicon Valley in the US House of Representatives, he has consistently voiced concerns about China’s policies and actions.
In his efforts to reshape economic strategies, Khanna has advocated for the repatriation of manufacturing jobs to the United States. Specifically, he has emphasized the need to revitalize the steel industry domestically, envisioning the United States as a steel exporter rather than an importer. However, he also recognizes the importance of engagement with China to achieve economic goals and prevent potential conflicts over matters like the Taiwan Straits.
Khanna’s stance aligns with the desires of the American people, who prioritize improvements in their daily lives over further military involvements abroad and are eager to witness the return of manufacturing jobs to their homeland.
