'Every investment from a Chinese state-owned enterprise should be viewed with suspicion,' said US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday warned Europeans they would abandon their values by embracing China, in a scathing denunciation of Beijing just two days after talks on trans-Pacific tensions.
He said he similarly had a"very frank" message over his six hours of talks Wednesday with senior Chinese official Yang Jiechi. Pompeo renewed calls on Europeans to shun Chinese telecom giant Huawei, which he called the arm of the communist"surveillance state," and said Beijing was"flagrantly attacking sovereignty" through its port investments in Greece and Spain.
Pompeo also renewed his stiff criticism of China both over a draft security law in Hong Kong and its mass incarceration of some one million Uighurs and other Turkic Muslims. Pompeo also raised concerns about China in virtual talks Monday with the European Union's 27 foreign ministers.
