Democratic Presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden recently visited Iowa City, Iowa. He downplayed the economic threat posed by China.

Biden said, “China is going to eat our lunch? Come on, man.

Fellow Democratic Presidential Candidate Bernie Sanders took to Twitter in response.
