Wang Wenbin: Pompeo openly coerced other countries to obey the will of the United States. This is a naked hegemonic act

　　China News Service, Beijing, July 30 (Reporter Zhang Weiran) Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin stated at a regular press conference on July 30 that US Secretary of State Pompeo and other US politicians have repeatedly put pressure on other countries. The cooperative construction of 5G networks is gesticulating and publicly coercing other countries to obey the will of the United States. This is a naked hegemonic act.

　　In response to reporters' questions about the US's suppression of Huawei, Wang Wenbin said that recently, some US politicians such as Pompeo have repeatedly coerced other countries and demanded that these countries reject Huawei. I want to make it clear that the accusations made by some US politicians such as Pompeo against Chinese companies are totally groundless.

　　He said that the US accuses Huawei of threatening US national security, but facts have proved that in the past 30 years, Huawei has built more than 1,500 networks in more than 170 countries and regions around the world, provided services to 228 Fortune 500 companies, and served more than 30 companies worldwide. With a population of more than 100 million people, there has not been a network security incident similar to the "Snowden Incident" and "WikiLeaks", nor has there been a network monitoring behavior similar to the "Prism Gate", "Formula Organization", and "Echelon" systems. Any country can show evidence that Huawei products have backdoors.

　　"The U.S. also claims to uphold democracy and freedom, but what everyone sees is that some U.S. politicians such as Pompeo have repeatedly put pressure on other countries, pointing fingers at other countries' cooperation in the construction of 5G networks, and openly coercing other countries to obey the will of the United States. It is a naked hegemony." Wang Wenbin said.

　　He pointed out that the U.S. also claimed to implement fairness and reciprocity, but the facts show that when companies in other countries gain a leading advantage, U.S. politicians will fabricate excuses and use national power to suppress unscrupulously, at the expense of violating the U.S.'s consistent market economy and The principle of fair competition violates international trade rules and even harms the interests of American companies and consumers.

　　He said that in the final analysis, the reason why the United States suppressed the Chinese companies in every possible way was not because of national security, nor was it because of democracy, freedom, fairness, and equality. The real reason was that these companies were Chinese companies and leaders in their industries. Pompeo also mentioned that excluding Huawei means participating in the so-called clean country, which he said is actually synonymous with double standards. We hope that all countries are committed to maintaining a fair, just, open, and non-discriminatory business environment, and will resolutely resist national discrimination in global technology industry cooperation as resolutely resisting racial discrimination.

　　Another reporter asked questions. The former senior US diplomat Fu Limin said in an interview recently that Pompeo’s recent China-related speeches were a complete distortion of history and reality. The US policy of engagement with China has been generally successful and has maintained peace. Pompeo’s speech was actually a domestic political speech rather than a foreign policy speech. Pompeo himself also has ambitions to run for president in the future. What is China's comment?

　　Wang Wenbin said that we have noticed that in recent days, former politicians, experts, and media in the United States have widely questioned and criticized Pompeo's speech. This shows that attempts to deny the progress of Sino-US relations and provoke ideological opposition are unpopular.

　　He said that in the past nearly half a century, China-US exchanges and cooperation in various fields have been continuously expanded and deepened, bringing tangible benefits to the people of the two countries, and the people of the world have also benefited a lot from it, which no one can deny.

　　He pointed out that Sino-US relations are critical to the well-being of the two peoples and world peace and stability, and should not become a tool for individual people or individual political forces to manipulate for their own interests. (Finish)
