Hawley took to Twitter on Friday and said the communist regime believes it can “roll the administration.” This came in response to a tweet from Jordan Schneider, an analyst for the Rhodium Group focused on China.

Schneider pointed out how Chinese officials “by and large held their tongue when engaging with the Trump administration,” but pulled out the brass knuckles in their very first interaction with the Biden administration.
