At Nixon Library Pompeo laments failure of engagement with China

[Yankee-stani]

The Trump administration took a hammer Thursday to one of the most significant Republican foreign policy achievements in the last five decades, with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo declaring U.S. engagement with China a dismal failure.

As the administration sharpens its already harsh criticism of China with distinctly political overtones ahead of November’s election, Pompeo traveled to the Richard Nixon Presidential Library in Yorba Linda on Thursday to pointedly lament that the former president’s good and noble intentions in opening China to the world had come to naught and must be abandoned.

Nearly 50 years after Nixon’s historic 1972 trip to China, Pompeo used the symbolism of the venue to accuse the Chinese of taking advantage of that opportunity to lie, cheat and steal their way to power and prosperity. Pompeo called for the free world to “induce” change in China, making an overt appeal for a new coalition of democratic nations to force the Chinese Communist Party to change direction or face isolation.

Mr Pompeo you will soon be gone as incompetent Trump is going to loose elections so your opinion doesn't carry much weight. If next administration needs our help for covert diplomacy Murree have got far better hotels now, enjoy our hospitality if US desires. There were far stronger nations then US rose through out the history and eventually decline due to the different reasons. Difference this time round is China is at the current standing due to shear hard work while US rise was on the dead bodies of millions of innocent lives. Word is a big place US pie is getting less and less each passing day but China is not denying US share of the pie be happy with it.
