U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has denounced the Chinese regime’s hostility towards Australia and said the world now has a “more realistic understanding” on the “nature of the regime” after Beijing’s lack of transparency surrounding the CCP virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus virus.
Speaking at a State Department press briefing on May 20, Pompeo said: “The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) chose to threaten Australia with economic retribution for the simple act of asking for an independent inquiry into the origins of the virus.”
