Former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley warned Sunday that China has been building up its defenses and military for “decades” to prepare for war with the United States.
Appearing on “Fox News Sunday,” Haley, who is running for the GOP presidential nomination, told host Shannon Bream that the U.S. military under President Joe Biden is focusing on things that won’t help in a conflict with China, including radical gender ideology. In the meantime, Haley says, China has rapidly improved its military might.
“If you look at the military situation, they now have the largest naval fleet in the world. They have 340 ships, we have 293. They’re going to have 400 in two years, we won’t even have 350 in two decades,” Haley told Bream. “They have started developing hypersonic missiles. We’re just now getting started. They are modernizing their military. Our military’s taking gender pronoun classes. Look at what they’re doing on cyber, artificial intelligence, space – they’re ahead of us.”
