The crisis in the United States continues. Pompeo accused China of "destroying Western civilization", and the number one hot comment is
The domestic crisis in the United States continues. The number of confirmed cases of new coronary pneumonia in the United States has exceeded 1.7 million, and the number of deaths has exceeded 100,000. At the same time, a week of protests and riots caused by police misconduct has caused at least 40 cities across the United States to announce night curfews.
Although the United States is "on fire at home", Pompeo, who was rated as "the worst secretary of state in history" by the New York Times, continued to exaggerate the "China threat" on May 31 to divert attention. This time Pompeo actually said that China wanted to "destroy Western civilization" and put "the United States in danger", exaggerating that China's "military threat is real" and accused China of "linking the Hong Kong riots and the riots in the United States to attack the United States."
However, Pompeo "punches hard" on China, but is "submissive" to domestic protests. His remarks on the show expressing "personal condolences" for "Floyd and the victims of the riots" triggered dissatisfaction among the American people. People accused Pompeo of "diverting attention" and stigmatizing "peaceful protests as riots." Under the relevant content posted on his personal Twitter, the American netizen with the most likes left a message saying, "We are not afraid of China, we are afraid of you."
html On May 31, Pompeo once again exaggerated the China threat on Fox News Network's "Sunday Morning Futures" program, and then used his personal Twitter account to publish the program. But this time, he put a "big hat" on China.Pompeo falsely claimed on the show that the Chinese Communist Party today is “different from 10 years ago.” It has begun to position its goal as "destroying the West, destroying Western ideas, Western democracy and Western values." This puts Americans "at risk."
Although Pompeo sensationally stated that China wants to "destroy Western civilization," in terms of arguments, Pompeo "repeated the same old tune" and once again repeated the "China theft of intellectual property rights" and China's "diverting attention" in the new crown epidemic. ”, as well as slandering Hong Kong’s National Security Law and other issues. Later, Pompeo also released a clip of China's 70th National Day military parade in the program, once again exaggerating that "China's military threat is real."
However, due to the recent turmoil in the United States, Pompeo added some new accusations. He accused China of trying to somehow connect the "Hong Kong riots and the riots in the United States" and that China was using the riot to create "false information." , attacks and impedes "American democracy."
In the program, Pompeo also proudly said that he was optimistic about the "counterattack of the United States and European allies."
Pompeo vigorously accused China when the United States was in deep crisis, but the American people did not buy it. In the comments on relevant reports on the Politico website, some American people accused Pompeo of constantly blaming China while ignoring the huge domestic crisis in the United States.
On Pompeo’s personal Twitter, the most liked tweet is: “We are not afraid of China, we are afraid of you.”
Just when Pompeo was making outrageous accusations against China, the United States was mired in many crises. According to real-time statistics from Johns Hopkins University, as of 5:32 on June 1, Beijing time (17:32 on May 31, ET), there were 1,784,824 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States, and a total of 1,784,824 deaths. 104,232 cases.
At the same time, protests and riots caused by the death of an African American by kneeling down in the United States are still continuing. Currently, in order to control the spread of the epidemic, 40 cities in 16 states across the United States have recently announced curfews, prohibiting people from going out at night. Currently, more than 5,000 National Guard members have been deployed in 15 states and Washington, DC.
Pompeo spent all his time on the show criticizing China. However, in the face of the worsening domestic crisis, especially the current intensifying protests and the death of Floyd, Pompeo chose to be "cautious in his words and actions."
In subsequent interviews, Pompeo briefly mentioned Floyd's death on the show. He said, but he said this: "My heart goes out to Mr. Floyd's family and those who have been affected by the riots and violence. Everyone expresses my personal condolences. This is not good, this is a tragedy." At this time, the subtitle of Fox News was indeed "The peaceful protests triggered by Floyd's death have turned into riots across the country."

Pompeo's remarks aroused dissatisfaction among the American people, and some people accused him "Turn a blind eye" to the peaceful protesters spreading across the country, stigmatizing legitimate protests as "riots." Some netizens posted more explicit cartoons that satirized the Trump administration's white supremacist racist tendencies, and some netizens posted An article titled "Pompeo is the Worst Secretary of State in History" recently published on the New York Times website.
On the evening of May 29, CCTV's "Xinwen Lianbo" program published a critical international commentary. The critical commentary pointed out that no US Secretary of State has been as infamous as Pompeo both at home and abroad in the United States. On the one hand, Pompeo deceives the trust of his immediate boss by flattering him at home, but he always uses his immediate boss's political credibility to make profits for himself. On the other hand, Pompeo often makes lies and confuses the public in the international community, does his best to sow discord and instigate confrontation, and does everything he can to show extremely low moral standards. He is no more than a rat crossing the street. At present, the death toll from the epidemic in the United States has exceeded 100,000, but Pompeo, who is not matched by Germany, is pushing the United States into a "black hole" of decline.
Hu Xijin "screamed" Pompeo: Please stand with American protesters, just like you did with Hong Kong
While the United States unreasonably intervened in China's legislation of the "Hong Kong National Security Law", the violent law enforcement of white police officers to the death of black people continued in the United States. As a result, demonstrations and riots broke out in many places across the United States, with police stations smashed, stores looted and even American flags burned.
Hu Xijin tweeted to "call out" Pompeo. "Please stand with these angry people in Minneapolis, as you said at the time, 'stand with the people of Hong Kong.'"
Previously, all walks of life in Hong Kong came out to support the "Hong Kong National Security Law." Pompeo declared that "Hong Kong no longer has a high degree of autonomy, and the legal treatment given to it by the United States before July 1997 is no longer applicable." Pompeo also hypocritically stated that "the United States and the people of Hong Kong have always stood together." .
Hu Xijin also posted on Weibo on May 29:
Protesters in Minnesota, USA, have finally become "Hong Kongized" and turned violent, even worse. This is really a slap in the face to Washington. The new coronavirus has killed more than 100,000 people in the United States. Sooner or later, the poor in the United States will take to the streets to smash and burn because of this. We will see. Trump tweeted last night that COVID-19 was China’s “gift” to the world, diverting Americans’ anger. More than 200,000 netizens took the bait and liked him. It's all about deception, and it has made some Americans stupid.
But these double standards and these tricks of the US government have completely awakened more and more Chinese people. It turns out that the United States also has two parallel worlds of rich and poor, much like a luxury version of India. There are most graves prepared for the old, the weak, the poor and minorities.
