Bob Dole’s long influence on Washington’s China policy remembered

Robert Dole, the long-serving US Senate leader, who died aged 98 on Sunday, is remembered by many as a war hero and a Trump supporter. He also left a heavy, decades-long footprint on Washington’s China policy.

Dole is expected to become the 33rd individual to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda on Thursday, joining a select list of historical figures which includes former presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy.
