WASHINGTON - Duelling ad campaigns between Team Trump and Team Biden have highlighted how China has emerged as an election issue in the United States, as President Donald Trump and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden present themselves as being tougher on Beijing in an effort to win voters.
A pro-Trump group is pouring US$10 million (S$14 million) into a multi-week ad campaign with a "Beijing Biden" tagline accusing the former vice-president of being soft on China, while the Biden campaign responded with ads criticising Mr Trump for not holding China accountable for the coronavirus and mangling the US response to the pandemic.
