“I would like to hear military officials explain why this was not addressed sooner,” he said. What are the options at that time?

For his part, Ohio Republican-elect Mike Turner lamented the lack of a sense of urgency within the Biden administration. According to Turner, China wanted to obtain militarily important information.

“There is no excuse, he decided […]. They should have been ready. Besides being unprepared, they seem to be thinking, “Where’s the ball going?” What are they trying to do? “»
