On Tuesday, Mike Pompeo, United States (US) Secretary of State said the US wants to build a global coalition to counter China.

Pompeo, accused China of covering up and exploiting the coronavirus pandemic for its own interests, making illegal maritime claims, and bullying Himalayan countries.

The US President Donald Trump often calls the coronavirus outbreak as the “China plague”.

“We hope we can build out a coalition that understands the threat and will work collectively to convince the Chinese Communist Party that it is not in their best interest to engage in this kind of behavior,” Pompeo told reporters in London alongside British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.

“We want to see every nation who understands freedom and democracy…to understand this threat that the Chinese Communist Party is posing to them” Pompeo added.

Pompeo intends to meet Nathan Law, Hong Kong democracy activist, and the last British governor of Hong Kong, Chris Patten.

The US secretary of state also appreciated United Kingdom’s (UK) Prime Minister Boris Johnson for ordering the removal of Huawei gear from the 5G mobile phone network.

Pompeo claimed the order to remove the Huawei gear from the UK market was the correct decision as data could have ended up with the Chinese Communist Party.buy stendra online https://myhst.com/wp-content/themes/twentytwentytwo/inc/patterns/new/stendra.html no prescription

In response to the UK’s decision to exclude Huawei, China said it will hurt the UK’s economy, set back trade, and discourage investment.

China claims the West, and the US, in particular, is under an anti-Chinese hysteria and colonial thinking about the communist state of China.
