In several interviews after his return from the Quad ministerial meeting in Japan, Mike Pompeo pointed out how the Chinese have started amassing huge forces against India and that the Indians see 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border.
Speaking on The Guy Benson Show, Pompeo said: “One million people are now dead because the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) did not respond to the Wuhan virus in the way it should have. Economies have been destroyed as a direct result of that. The Indians are seeing 60,000 Chinese soldiers on their northern border. “
The US Secretary of State reiterated this in an interview with Larry O’Conner as he spoke of his “important trip” in which he met with his Indian counterpart, S Jaishankar, along with those from Japan and Australia, to further strive for “Build the coalition that is working to ensure that the Communist Party of China does not become the world hegemony it seeks to become.”

“They absolutely need the United States to be their ally and partner in this fight. But everyone has seen it, be it the Indians, who are actually having a physical confrontation with the Chinese in the Himalayas, in the northeast part of India.” The Chinese have now started amassing huge forces against India in the north, whether it is the Australians who did the simple thing of saying that the Chinese screwed up this deal with the virus, and we would like to understand what happened and said. we should have a full investigation, and in exchange for that, the Chinese Communist Party started extorting, coercing, intimidating Australians, “Pompeo said.

“For decades, the West allowed the Chinese Communist Party to run over us. The previous administration got down on its knees, too often it allowed China to steal our intellectual property and the millions of jobs that came with it. They see that in their country too.” , he mentioned.
“I was with my foreign minister counterparts from India, Australia and Japan, a format we call Quad, four great democracies, four powerful economies, four nations, each of which has a real risk associated with the threats imposed, trying to be imposed by the Communist Party of China. And they see it in their home countries as well. They see that the people of their nations understand that we all slept on this for far too long, “Pompeo added.
“The Australians saw that when they did it, they had the temerity to just ask for an investigation into the virus that the Chinese began to wield economic power against them and try to coerce and intimidate them,” Pompeo said.
The Quad foreign ministers meeting in Tokyo took place on Tuesday.
On the Hugh Hewitt show, Pompeo spoke about the “rejection of the predatory activity of the Chinese Communist Party” by the four Quad-India democracies, Japan, Australia and the United States.
“The Indians have banned dozens and dozens of Chinese apps and stopped their government from buying any products from China. That is remarkable. It is work that has been done diplomatically, and then there are the security issues,” he said.
