U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien appear to be trying to start a war against China involving not just the U.S. but other countries as well. Pompeo has done a slew of radio interviews since returning from Tokyo after the Quad meeting with his counterparts from Japan, India and Australia on Oct. 6, during which he hyped up the alleged threat of China to the participants, among other things. “The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border,” Pompeo claimed in an interview with The Guy Benson Show yesterday, reports the Press Trust of India (PTI). “I was with my foreign minister counterparts from India, Australia, and Japan … four powerful economies, four nations, each of whom has real risk associated with the threats imposed — attempting to be imposed by the Chinese Communist Party. And they see it in their home countries too,” he said. In fact, neither Japan nor Australia mentioned China in their readouts on the meeting, and India did not issue a readout.
Pompeo described his meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar as “productive.” “They see the people of their (Quad) nations understanding that we all slept on this for too long. For decades, the West allowed the Chinese Communist Party to walk all over us. The previous administration bent a knee, too often allowed China to steal our intellectual properties and the millions of jobs that came along with it. They see that in their country too,” he said in the interview.
In another interview, Pompeo claimed that in each of the other countries of the Quad, people now see the Chinese Communist Party as the threat that he claims it is. “The world has awakened. The tide’s begun to turn. And the United States under President Trump’s leadership has now built out a coalition that will push back against the threat and maintain good order, the rule of law, and the basic civic decency that comes from democracies controlling the world and not authoritarian regimes,” he declared.
In his third interview to Fox News, Pompeo said that the U.S. under the Trump Administration has begun to build out the edifice of the structure and the allies and the coalition to push back against China. “We aim to protect the American people from the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses,” he said.
O’Brien, using the same kind of language in a speech in Utah earlier this week, claimed that China has attempted to “seize” control of the Line of Actual Control (LAC) with India by force as part of its territorial aggression.
