Tim Ryan: Biden's comments on China "surprisingly disconnected"

In an interview with CNN's Van Jones scheduled for Saturday at 7:00 pm (EST), Jones asked Ryan, who defended the industrial Midwest in his campaign, commented on what he thought of Biden's comment Wednesday according to which China is "not a competition for us".

Ryan pointed out that US-China relations "would concern the future" and determine key sectors of the US economy.

"I think we're going to ask who is the president who will allow us and help us dominate the electric vehicles?" Who will lead this investment in the communities of color, towards Youngstown, Ohios and Akron, Ohios and Gary, Indianas, from world disconnected from the benefits of globalization for 30 or 40 years? "

"I think the country is looking for a president to say," I understand, "he added," and I think I'm part of that, and that's why I'm running. "

Ryan took another turn at Biden when Jones asked if the Ohio Democrat had mentioned more "people like Biden who said:" Hey, let's get back to normal, get back to decency "" or to Candidates like Sens. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts who argue that "the old status quo has been broken to begin – we do not want to go back to anything, we want to disrupt and go from the front in different directions ".

Ryan replied, "I think we need a reform."

"We can not be so divided because no matter the plan, it is not going anywhere if we are divided," he said, calling for decency and respect. "We must come together as a country."

"But I'm on the side of reform," added Ryan. "I mean, I just think the government is obsolete and sometimes the Democrats are struggling to defend the indefensible."
