Rep. Darin LaHood, R-Ill., said that China has a plan to "replace" the U.S. and defeat the country technologically, militarily, economically and diplomatically.
"China has a plan to replace the United States, and they're working at it every single day," LaHood said on the "John Solomon Reports" podcast. "I don't say that to scare people. That's the reality. They want to beat us technologically, militarily, economically and diplomatically. And the sooner we wake up to that, the better."
The U.S. and China have had a complicated relationship over the past few years, regarding trade, technology and national security.
