John Bolton has claimed in a new book that Donald Trump was resistant to sanctioning China for its religious repression, saying that China’s crackdown on the Catholic Church “didn’t register” with Trump.
Trump at moments have been verbally hostile to China but for the most part has been weak and accommodating to the Chinese Communist government. He has praised Chinese dictator Xi and currently is pushing a give-a-way trade deal he negotiated with China. Trump and his daughter have long had business interests in the brutal dictatorship.
Religious repression by the government of China has been an issue the unites conservative and liberal Catholics and other people of good will. The State Department has well documented actions against the Catholic Church.
