According to him, it is for this reason that the United States will win the confrontation with China.
“I believe that we can do it. I have faith because we have done this before. I believe because the Chinese Communist Party is repeating some of the same mistakes that the Soviet Union made, ”he said.
As Pompeo noted, such mistakes are "alienating potential allies, eroding trust at home and abroad, abandoning property rights and the predictable rule of law."
At the same time, the Secretary of State added that the situation with China differs from that of the USSR in that the PRC is deeply integrated into the world economy.
Earlier, Pompeo said about the importance of creating a new format alliance against China and noted that the previous system of interaction between the United States and the PRC had collapsed.
On July 23, US President Donald Trump did not rule out that following the Chinese Consulate in Houston, other Chinese diplomatic missions in the country could be closed. The Chinese Foreign Ministry called the US decision to close the diplomatic mission "a unilateral political provocation" that violates the norms of international law.
