Donald Trump has named JD Vance as his vice-presidential running mate for the 2024 election, signaling a potential shift towards more aggressive policies on China and cryptocurrency regulation. Vance, a junior senator from Ohio, has been vocal about China being the 'biggest threat' to America and is expected to support tougher anti-China measures. His selection has also bolstered the crypto market, with Bitcoin seeing a significant surge in value. Vance's background as a working-class advocate and his transformation into a MAGA firebrand have made him a compelling figure within the GOP. Despite his controversial stances on issues like immigration and climate change, his populist economic views and criticism of establishment figures like President Joe Biden resonate with many in the Republican base.
