Pompeo suggests all nations push back on China.


I have not really examined the issue. However inCosta Rica the Chinese are making in roads. They like China here. So when Pompeo suggests all nations pushback on China, he’s not going to have results everywhere.


Increasingly, in recent decades, China has stepped in with a solution: roughly $150 billion loaned to Latin American countries since 2005. About 90 percent of that has gone to boosting the region's energy, infrastructure, and mining sectors.

The European Union and many experts in foreign policy suggested this BEFORE the Tariff Wars that went nowhere and actually ended up with us worse off than where we started.

I wonder if Pompeo is talking about piracy and theft of intellectual property.

Now that we've burned our bridges with our allies and all but handed victory to China, I doubt this will elicit more than European eye-rolls.
