‘China is biggest foreign threat to America,’ says action group set up by former US ambassador to UN Nikki Haley
- Haley steps into spotlight at crucial time in US-China relations with group to promote ‘America’s economy, culture, and national security’
- Stand for America’s website describes China as a ‘Communist dictatorship that is perhaps the world’s single worst human rights violator’
Former United States ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has set up an “advocacy” group which described China as the “biggest foreign threat to America”.
Haley served as President Donald Trump’s ambassador to the UN from January 2017 until December, when she resigned.
Donor-funded Stand for America, which opened for business on Monday, claimed to promote “public policies that strengthen America’s economy, culture, and national security”.
Its website, echoing the Trump administration, said the nation faced many threats from enemies and competitors overseas.
“China, Russia, and Iran are chief among these international dangers. Stand For America is committed to stopping dangers from abroad and protecting the American people’s security, interests, and values,” the website said.
China was labelled “the biggest foreign threat to America”.
The website described China as a “Communist dictatorship that is perhaps the world’s single worst human rights violator, taking surveillance and imprisonment of its citizens to truly Orwellian levels.
