LONDON: China is the central threat of our times and the United States and its allies must ensure they have the military and technological power to ensure that this century is governed by Western principles, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said.
“While we still have to be enormously vigilant about terror … the Chinese Communist Party presents the central threat of our times,” Pompeo said on Thursday.
The U.K. on Tuesday defied the U.S. by granting Chinese technology firm Huawei a limited role in its 5G network. The U.S., including Pompeo and President Donald Trump, had been lobbying the U.K. to exclude the firm on security grounds. (Reuters)
