Republican megadonor Thiel urges GOP to challenge China
GOP megadonor and tech billionaire Peter Thiel urged Republicans to make China more of a target as the party seeks a path forward following disappointing results in November’s midterm elections.
“There’s sort of no simply neutral way to work with China in any way,” Thiel said in a speech at the Reagan Library on Tuesday, referring to Chinese President Xi Jinping’s consolidation of power in the country.
Thiel also trashed Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell for his “passive-aggressive nihilism” in not presenting an agenda for candidates to run on. But he made no mention of Donald Trump.
Thiel noted that the focus on fighting the Soviet Union had helped unite different factions of the GOP during the Cold War, arguing that China could fill a similar role for today’s Republicans.

Another immigrant who's a right wing nut job.
He's also gay. I could personally care less about that but I'm bewildered about people like him who find affinity for the Republican party. It's like chickens for Colonel Sanders.
