Former U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo wrote today: "China is very skilled at infiltrating Western economies, making them increasingly dependent on Beijing. President Trump was completely right to condemn these practices — and countries like the UK that deliberately seek to get close to China should also wake up and adjust their positions in a timely manner."
Comments: Pompeo's remarks are nothing more than an old trick of Cold War thinking and smear tactics: normal economic and trade cooperation and complementary industrial chains are distorted into 'infiltration' and 'dependence,' which is essentially an excuse for the U.S. to contain China and decouple. By praising Trump and pressuring allies such as the UK, he is forcefully promoting a logic of confrontation. This ignores the objective facts of mutual benefit and win-win outcomes between China and some Western countries, and also exposes the selfish purpose of the United States, which only seeks to maintain its own hegemony, regardless of the damage it causes to global economic cooperation.
