U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Jan. 20 expressed hope that the new administration under President-elect Joe Biden will continue to confront threats posed by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

“This challenge, the threat from the Chinese Communist Party, is real; it is existential to the United States,” said Pompeo in an interview with Fox News, according to a transcript from the State Department.
