Since he became the U.S. Secretary of State in 2018, Pompeo, who is proud of lying and deceit, has used various means to discredit China’s attacks. The recent China-related speech at the Nixon Library is even more of a pinnacle. Appraised by all walks of life as a complete "ideological rant." A closer look at this "anti-China mobilization report" with scattered logic and full of old tunes reveals that Pompeo wants to achieve nothing more than two goals: to make Americans oppose China and the world to oppose China . But the result...
▌ "The'chaotic war' in the United States is pushing itself into the abyss of recession"
In his speech, Pompeo played up the theory of " failure to engage with China " and encouraged the " decoupling " of diplomacy and trade with China , especially based on the so-called " China-US relations have benefited and the United States has suffered for decades ". To make excuses for "clearly grabbing" Chinese companies going overseas, on the one hand, they coerce American companies to " de- sinicize" in every possible way .
In this regard, Raymond Dalio, the founder of the world’s largest hedge fund- Bridgewater Investment Corporation- recently warned in an interview with Bloomberg News that the United States is constantly launching trade wars, technological wars, and geopolitical wars. As well as ideological warfare, they are pushing themselves into the abyss of decline.

In fact, a large amount of data has shown that the presence of the Chinese market is increasing year by year, and it is still a hot spot for global investment . The global business community, including US companies, are also "voting with their feet." Look at a set of data:
· The latest data show that the actual US investment in China in the first half of this year increased by 6% year-on-year. Qualcomm, Pepsi, JPMorgan Chase, Exxon Mobil and other US companies have accelerated their deployment in China.
· According to a survey by the European Chamber of Commerce, about 90% of the European companies interviewed answered that they did not discuss withdrawing from the Chinese market.
· The China-Britain Business Association report shows that China is the third largest export destination for the UK in 2019, and China-UK cooperation in all aspects has created about 150,000 jobs for the UK.
· Volkswagen's sales in the Chinese market account for about 40% of the world's total sales throughout the year.
· The United Nations Conference on Trade and Development predicts that global foreign direct investment may fall by 30% to 40% from 2020 to 2021. However, in the second quarter of this year, China achieved a contrarian growth of 8.4% year-on-year in actual use of foreign capital, indicating that China's popularity as a global investment destination has not weakened.
· A recent questionnaire survey by the Ministry of Commerce showed that 99.1% of foreign-funded enterprises indicated that they would continue to invest and operate in China .

△Pompeo's "decoupling theory" against China violates the most basic economic laws
Zhang Manan, the chief researcher of the US-Europe Institute of the China Center for International Economic Exchange , analyzed and pointed out that the US government’s plans to “decouple” the Chinese economy and “return manufacturing” will not succeed, because China is both a world factory and a growing consumer market. Investors are extremely attractive.
Zhang Manan: "China is now not only the world's largest manufacturing base, but also the world's most potential consumer market. According to the latest data from the US Bureau of Analysis, 80% of the products of US companies in China are actually to meet the needs of China . China growing market demand and strong innovation in return, will bring great potential growth is expected to be the world's multinational companies, including US companies, including . "
Zheng Yongnian, a professor at the Institute of East Asian Studies at the National University of Singapore, believes that China's opening up is the best weapon to deal with the so-called "decoupling theory."
Zheng Yongnian: "As long as China implements an open policy and as long as the United States remains a capitalist country, China and the United States cannot be completely decoupled, because the essence of capital is to go all over the world and go where it can make money. China must have self-confidence. : While the United States is showing populism, China is still advancing reforms. China must apply the spirit of domestic reforms to the international level, and it will do a lot on the international stage, because everyone needs such a great power for stability ."
▌ "Pompeo wants to provoke a'new cold war'"
As a natural link to the "theory of failure to engage with China," Pompeo concocted the so-called "theory of China's hegemony." While slandering China's legitimate activities in safeguarding sovereignty and enhancing foreign exchanges, it tried to distort Hong Kong and the South China Sea. Winning other countries to piece together the so-called "democratic coalition" will increase the confidence for the United States to completely contain China and maintain unilateral hegemony.
In this regard, the first thing to look down on is public opinion in the United States. The National Broadcasting Corporation ( NBC ) criticized that Pompeo's China-related speech was intensifying contradictions and intended to provoke a "new cold war." The article condemned Pompeo and his like for wantonly instigating conflict with China, and at the same time asked the US government: Why is it blind to the potential dangers that this brings?

American scholar Bruno Macáes pointed out that Pompeo and his like chose to "escape reality" because of selfishness. They want to shirk their own responsibility for ineffective fight against the epidemic and poor governance of the country, and promote their own elections. At the same time, out of greed, they want to try to contain China's development and maintain the unipolar hegemony of the United States.
△Macaez pointed out in his new book "History Has Started" that the United States is escaping reality in order to continue to rule the world.
Internationally, Pompeo has also fallen into isolation. Just after his anti-China speech, scholars from many countries pointed out at a seminar called " Rejection of the New Cold War " that any form of "New Cold War" is completely against the interests of mankind. They called on the United States to abandon the Cold War mentality, develop Sino-US relations on the basis of dialogue, and commit to human unity.

Even the most important allies of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region dare not easily "take over." After the "U.S.-Australia 22 talks" at the end of July, Australian Foreign Minister Payne not only failed to cater to Pompeo's China strategy, but also stated that Australia values its relationship with China, has its own position and judgment, and will act in accordance with its own interests.
Japan’s "Asahi Shimbun" published an editorial saying that Pompeo’s policy speech exposed the Cold War mentality of the US government. Under the main theme of peace and development, the United States cannot and should not initiate a “new cold war”, but should give up. The so-called "America First" strategy, peaceful coexistence with China.
△Pompeo, who is dedicated to advocating the "new cold war", is becoming a lone
Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister Wang Yi stressed that China firmly opposes the artificial creation of the so-called "new cold war." The US wants to resurrect the specter of McCarthyism, destroy the ties between China and the United States, instigate the opposition between the two nations, and damage the foundation of mutual trust between the two countries, thereby dragging China and the United States into conflict and confrontation again, and pushing the world back into a conspiracy of turmoil and division. Will not succeed .
Ruan Zongze , executive vice president of the China Institute of International Studies, pointed out that today's world has become a community with a shared future, and Pompeo's evil intentions to piece together the anti-China coterie and instigate the so-called "new cold war" are doomed to fail.
Ruan Zongze: "The U.S. policy toward China is opposed to the interests of the Chinese and American peoples. It also runs counter to the mainstream and trend of international peaceful development and cooperation. Pompeo wants to deny China-U.S. relations through rude methods. The United States The public cannot be deceived for a long time. In fact, he also knows that he cannot single-handedly oppose China, so he also wants to piece together some small anti-China circles, but in fact few responders. The US approach is to lively demand the United States and China. Allies are cutting away from China and the world, and its actions against the tide will eventually bear fruit ."
▌ "Now the American diplomatic circle is dominated by opportunists"
Some analysts believe that Pompeo's recent continuous malicious attacks on China are actually not in the interest of drunks. As early as last year, mainstream Western media such as the British "Financial Times" asserted that the ultimate goal of Pompeo's political performance was to participate in the 2024 US presidential election.
Ruan Zongze , executive vice president of the China Institute of International Studies, believes that Pompeo's series of extraordinary words and deeds that have severely poisoned American diplomacy are actually paving the way for the realization of his political ambitions.
Ruan Zongze: "Pompeo has been smearing and slandering China all the time. This approach is exactly the same as his previous CIA director's style. He himself said that their style is to steal, rob, and lie. He brought this style to life. The U.S. State Department actually poisoned U.S. diplomacy. Second, Pompeo is still an ambitious politician, and what he is doing now is to prepare him for his future attempts to make a splash in American politics."
"Russia" has also published an article that Pompeo unscrupulously accumulated political capital for himself, just to one day become the president of the United States. What he did not only shocked the international community, but also drew criticism from the American elite for sacrificing the interests of the American people.

Regarding the political speculation shown by Pompeo and his like, Mark Brzezinski, the son of the famous American diplomat Brzezinski, has recently criticized mercilessly that money and ticket storage have become the only thing in American politics. logic. Now the American diplomatic circle is dominated by opportunists and professionals stand aside. This undoubtedly has a negative impact on the American political ecology and American diplomacy.
