The US elections have entered the final 40-day sprint. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo visited Wisconsin, one of six key states, and delivered a speech to the state Senate on China’s challenge.

Pompeo noted in his speech that in August this year, Communist Party of China General Secretary Xi Jinping told a group of government economists and sociologists that Beijing should develop cooperation with all countries, regions and companies that want to cooperate with China, including all states and regions of the United States.
Pompeo said: “Let me translate for you. Xi Jinping knows that the US federal government has risen up to resist the CCP and its malicious influence … He believes that local leaders are the weak link. For Xi Jinping, when he uses both “cooperation” and “openness” This word refers to their desire to create agreements that are beneficial to the CCP. “
Pompeo said the CCP has targeted state officials and local interests. Recently, it has become more and more powerful. The focus of their actions is primarily pressure on the state government, not to recognize Taiwan or have trade and other relationships with Taiwan.
Not only that, Pompeo pointed out that the CCP’s influence and spying tentacles also extend to the county and city levels. He said that earlier this week, a New York City police officer was accused of illegally serving as a spy for the Chinese government, informing China about the actions of the Tibetan community in the United States.
Pompeo then yelled at state lawmakers in the United States: “If Chinese diplomats approach you, the starting point may not be cooperation or friendship; if you are invited to China after travel restrictions are lifted from China. the epidemic, you should ask who pays for the travel expenses. And if the person is directly or indirectly related to the CCP. “

Pompeo pointed out that the state assembly actually has a lot to do, like passing laws to improve cooperation between the state and the federal government, protect intellectual property rights, filter investment funds, and combat infiltration operations. The state assembly can also ignore the threat from the CCP and encourage mayors and businesses. People are communicating with each other more widely around the world and ensuring that students from China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan who study in the United States and support democracy are not harassed.
He emphasized: “For the future of the American people and the greatest democracy in history, let us work together.”
