WASHINGTON, D.C.— U.S. Representative Austin Scott (GA-08) today released the following statement in response to the Biden Administration’s National Security Strategy:

“Communist China is an existential threat to the United States. While the Biden Administration’s National Security Strategy recognizes this threat, the fact is the administration has done little to position us to deter and defeat Communist China,” Scott said. “Our nation must act decisively to protect our interests from China’s increasingly aggressive regime, and I look forward to working with my colleagues to deter the Chinese Communist Party.”

Scott is a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee and serves on the Republican China Task Force.
