In-Depth Interview: Senator Tom Cotton Discusses the Threats Posed by China

In an extensive interview, Senator Tom Cotton, chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, discussed with CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil the military, political, and economic threats posed by China, labeling Taiwan as “the most dangerous flashpoint in the world.” The Republican senator from Arkansas authored a new book, “Seven Things You Can’t Say About China.” He shared his views on why America requires “a clean break between TikTok and communist China” and his perspective on the continued operation of the social media app in the U.S. in light of a new law. Dokoupil also inquired about recent drone sightings over U.S. military sites and the actions taken against diversity initiatives under the Trump administration.
