An op-ed in yesterday’s Global Times by Mu Lu goes after the ongoing damage being done to U.S.-China relations by Mike Pompeo, even though he is no longer Secretary of State. Mu pointed to an article by Pompeo and China hand MilesYu, in the Feb. 22 Wall Street Journal, that retailed the usual lies about China.
“China-US relations were severely damaged under Trump’s presidency, and the forces that poisoned the two countries’ relations didn’t stop after Trump left office,” Mu wrote. “Conservative careerists are still making waves and continue to kidnap the American system, symbolizing the tragedy of the US.” Mu added that Pompeo is scheduled to speak at this week Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which will also hear from former President Trump on Sunday. “Unsurprisingly, the agenda of the event includes China; and COVID-19 related topics are unlikely to be absent,” in which China will be blamed for the global pandemic.
Mu concludes: “This `largest and most influential gathering of conservatives in the world’ reflects those conservatives’ true nature of having no moral bottom line. Continuing on this path, the US is brewing new political crises.”
