Mike Pompeo says entire world beginning to unite against China's 'belligerence'

In a televised interview with US broadcaster Fox News, US secretary of state Mike Pompeo said that entire world was w united against China’s belligerence and its unfair practices. He said nations including India, Australia, Japan, and South Korea were pushing back against China’s expansionist policies and aggressive behaviour in Indo-Pacific region. While US intensified stance against China for curtailing Hong Kong’s freedom with draconian security law under its “one country, two systems”, piled visa bans, slapped trade embargo and sanctions, several nations, including Taiwan, w stand against People’s Republic’s assertiveness, insisting rule of law. Nations were w understanding that China’s “communist regime” refuses to operate in a positive, reciprocal, and clear approach, Pompeo said in a live-streamed interview. 

Wher or t it is our allies in India, in Australia, Japan, or South Korea, all nations that China encompasses as political and military targets with its expansionist policies and border skirmishes, as in case of India, have united with US, Pompeo asserted. Furr, Pompeo cited India’s deployment of war frontline vessels in South China Sea along Malacca Straits near Andaman and Nicobar Islands to squash China's maritime claims. He furr spoke about India's deployment of MiG-29K fighter jets to vigil Indian Ocean trade route post-Chinese PLA troops clashes with Indian defense forces due to rising threats from PLA.

Pompeo n accused China of an astonishing level of assertiveness in consolidating its position in South and East China Sea. He criticized People’s Republic’s expansionary policies leading to escalation of violence with Indian counterparts on Line of Actual Control (LAC) where China has constructed airstrips, helipads, and upped its ante and infrastructure. “ We have allies on this battle,” Pompeo said in his televised address, adding, that US would construct that out as nations had flipped away from Huawei ackwledging menace that China had put world in today. 

“So, wher it’s our friends in India, our friends in Australia, friends in Japan or South Korea, I think y have all come to see risk to ir own people, to ir own countries, and you’ll see m partner with US to push back (China) on every front,” —Mike Pompeo said, in a PTI report.

“It’s central that we have friends and allies in this battle. We’ve worked for two years w to build that out. We’ve made real progress. You’ve seen lots of countries turn away from Huawei. You’ve seen m ackwledge threat. y slept on this threat same way America did for two decades,” PTI quoted Pompeo as saying.

Accusing it of fuelling worsening frictions with neighbouring nations as it continues to amplify weaponry and military prowess, Pompeo said, communist China erected army bases on syntic islands claimed by island nations Brunei, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, and Vietnam. China claimed sovereignty over 1.3 million square miles of South China Sea. He resounded India’s sustaining approach of “part of world commons” that promotes liberty of navigation and overflight in “disputed” worldwide waterways. 

"America slept while China grew," Pompeo said in a televised address

China's "predatory world view”

Furr, Pompeo categorically rejected territorial claims made by China asserting, “Chinese langu predatory world view” stands place in 21st-century free world. China’s army, its missile techniques, commerce points, all of financial points, all of issues are under critical inspection of President Donald Trump who is proceeding in a critical approach to address Chinese langu Communist Social garing rhetoric, Pompeo said. China’s army buildup, diplomatic efforts, Belt, and Street Initiative to attempt to create vassal states, a tyrannical regime all over world for world hegemony have all been a crucial part of Xi Jinping’s regime, he added.
