Mike Pompeo urges eastern European countries to reject Huawei, warning that China is in 'some ways worse' than their former Soviet Union rulers
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Prime Minister of the Czech Republic Andrej Babis attend a press conference on August 12, 2020 in Prague, Czech Republic.Mike Pompeo warns US allies in eastern Europe that China in "some ways" is a bigger threat to the West than the Soviet Union during the Cold War.
However, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš refused to commit, telling Pompeo: "With all due respect to our American investors, I want more investments from China."Mike Pompeo has warned eastern Europe that the threat of China is in "some ways" worse than the threat posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, in a bid to persuade more US allies to shut out Chinese firms like Huawei.
Pompeo's suggestion that Beijing poses a greater threat today than the Soviet Union did in second half of the 20th century was striking given that the Czech Republic was controlled by oppressive Soviet forces for over four decades., Pompeo said that while the Kremlin continued to "undermine" Prague through disinformation and cyber warfare, Beijing's "campaigns of coercion of control" represented a larger threat to the West.
He claimed that China's suppression of Hong Kong and crimes against the Uighers were "sustained by companies like Huawei, using technology that the secret police could have only dreamed of." Pompeo will also visit Slovenia, Austria, and Poland in the coming days as part of his tour of eastern Europe.
