Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders directly attacked his top competitor for the Democratic nomination Thursday; saying Joe Biden’s policy towards China and manufacturing jobs is just “wrong.”
“Since the China trade deal I voted against, America has lost over 3 million manufacturing jobs. It’s wrong to pretend that China isn’t one of our major economic competitors. When we are in the White House we will win that competition by fixing our trade policies,” posted Sanders on social media.

Sanders’ comment is referring to Biden’s statement at a stump speech in Iowa this week, saying “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man.”
