The first primary Democratic debate saw 10 presidential contenders clashing over policy positions, but on one issue several candidates were in agreement—that China is the biggest strategic threat to the United States.
The theme surfaced during the first primary debate hosted by NBC in Miami, Florida, featuring 10 out of the 20 Democratic candidates. When the NBC moderator asked the question of what was America’s greatest geopolitical threat, four candidates named China.
