After First Call with President Xi, Biden Changes Mind About China ‘Eating Our Lunch’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “Last night, I was -- I was on the phone for two straight hours with Xi Jinping. And you all know as well as I do, these folks — and it was a good conversation. I know him well. We spent a lot of time together over the -- over the years I was vice president. And — but, you know, they’re going to — if we don’t get moving, they’re going to eat our lunch. They have major, major new initiatives on rail. And they already have rail that goes 225 miles an hour with ease. They’re working — they’re working very hard to do what I think we’re going to have to do.”
