South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg criticized President Trump for not doing more about China’s human rights record.
“For him to let China know that his silence can be purchased is trashing American values,” Buttigieg said.
Continuing, he added: “We have to acknowledge what’s going on over there — the use of technology for the perfection of dictatorship.”
