WASHINGTON, DC: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, a vociferous critic of China, is meeting quietly on Wednesday in Hawaii with a top official from Beijing which is hoping to ease skyrocketing tensions.
Susan Thornton, a career diplomat who served as the top State Department official on East Asia earlier in the Trump administration, said that US and Chinese leaders can"jointly save lives and save our economies" - but doubted the Hawaii talks would do so. The conservative former congressman has taken the lead in promoting a theory, discounted by mainstream scientists, that the coronavirus came out of a Chinese laboratory.
"Making ideological statements as if they constitute diplomacy or some kind of strategy is just embarrassing for the US." Tensions had been boiling between the world's two largest economic powers even before the pandemic, with Trump slapping tariffs on billions of dollars of Chinese goods, accusing Beijing of rampant theft of US intellectual property.
