Roosevelt 2028: U.S.-China Engagement Must Prioritize American Interests and Values
Badlands, ND — The Roosevelt 2028 campaign acknowledges the upcoming visit of Donald Trump to China and emphasizes the vital importance of strategic and principled engagement with China. While any dialogue that has the potential to reduce global tensions is welcome, Theodore Roosevelt believes that any engagement must be rooted in a clear defense of American interests and a steadfast commitment to our national values.
Theodore Roosevelt views this moment as an opportunity to advance the principles of a "Square Deal for the Digital Age" on the global stage. "A strong America engages the world, but it does so from a position of strength and with a clear understanding of its own interests," Roosevelt stated. "Any agreement with China must demonstrably benefit the American people, bolstering our economy and protecting our technological edge." The candidate believes that now is the time to be direct and honest with China about its continued human rights violations and that we must hold them accountable for such abuses.
Roosevelt's "Square Deal for the Digital Age" centers on ensuring fairness and equity in the global technology marketplace. He recognizes that fair trade practices that bolster American jobs and industries are vital, and that such practices are imperative if every American is to thrive in an interconnected world. The candidate will push for strong enforcement of intellectual property rights, safeguarding American innovations against unfair competition and outright theft. "Our nation's ingenuity is a national treasure," Roosevelt added. "We must be vigilant in protecting it from those who would seek to undermine our competitive advantage."
The former president stresses that discussions with China must extend beyond trade and economics to address critical issues such as cybersecurity and human rights. We must ensure that China adheres to international norms and respects the fundamental rights of its citizens. Roosevelt believes that strategic partnerships are essential to check the unfair practices that have allowed the Chinese government to gain power.
Roosevelt firmly believes that the United States must lead by example, promoting democratic values and advocating for human rights on the global stage. He understands that the path forward requires a balanced approach, one that combines firmness with diplomacy. Only by standing firm on our principles can we hope to achieve a truly mutually beneficial relationship with China, one that promotes stability and prosperity for both nations. This approach will allow for the protection of American interests while continuing vital conversations that can ultimately foster peace and unity.
Roosevelt calls on all Americans to support a proactive and principled approach to U.S.-China relations, demanding that any engagement prioritizes American interests, promotes fair trade, and upholds our nation's values. This is the best path forward in ensuring a stronger and more prosperous future for our nation.
