In an interview with The Hill, Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) spoke on the future relationship between the United States and China if he were to be elected president.
Sanders criticized China, acknowledging it as becoming more authoritarian. Some China experts say the communist nation looms closer to becoming a full surveillance state and teeters near a repeat of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in Hong Kong.
