After the Midterms, What Next for US-China Ties?
The Democratic Socialists of America have been CCP-friendly. They’ve surged.
With the 2022 midterm elections, the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) has seen an increase in its representation in the U.S. House of Representatives, with seven members now in the House. While the true extent of this impact on U.S.-China relations remains to be seen, the DSA's foreign policy positions have raised concerns among China reporters.
The DSA's International Committee, specifically its China Working Group, is known for its pro-authoritarian stance and close ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Members of the group have visited China, including the Xinjiang region, and praised CCP policies, particularly those related to the Uyghur population. The organization has also engaged with CCP-backed networks in Iran and Cuba.
Given the DSA's growing influence and the upcoming election, its stance on China and its potential impact on U.S. foreign policy warrants closer examination.
