#145: Cold War-era Pioneers of American Conservative Policies Toward China and Taiwan
Nowadays, American conservative political leaders have foreign policy platforms that call for greater toughness against China. But they are not the first generation of conservatism that wanted stronger U.S. foreign policy and security in the wake of Communist China. Learn more about two formerly prominent but now forgotten Members of Congress, CA Sen. William Knowland and MN Rep. Walter Judd, who warned about the dangers of the Chinese Communist Party and sowed the seeds for U.S. support of Taiwan.
