Joe Biden’s pick to be national security adviser said in a lecture during the Trump-era that the United States should pick a strategy that in part “encourages China’s rise,” a remark that is likely to come under scrutiny given China’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic.
“Jake Sullivan has been tapped to fill the role, after previously advising Biden when he served as vice president in the Obama administration. Sullivan also worked for Hillary Clinton when she served as Secretary of State,” Fox News reported this week. “During a lecture he delivered on behalf of the Lowy Institute in 2017, Sullivan said leading foreign policy expert Owen Harries was ‘right’ to warn against ‘containment’ as a self-defeating policy, much like acquiescence.”
