Secretary of State “Messianic” Mike Pompeo’s drive against China is taking on the character of a religious war. He announced two days ago that the subject of his speech today at Georgia Tech would be “the fact that in America’s research educational institutions today, the Chinese Communist Party is aiming to lobby, to influence, and to steal…. I want to talk about their infiltration at those universities, the things those schools ought to do and indeed must do to protect not only their students but their data,” in an interview on the Guy Benson Show. Being Pompeo, he clothed his demands that normal relationships between Chinese and American scholars and educational institutions be cut in the name of “defending U.S. national security and academic freedom.”
His speech, delivered today, sounded a paranoid note from the start, with its title of “The Chinese Communist Party on the American Campus.”
