WASHINGTON: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Wednesday said the recent clashes “initiated” by the Chinese military against India in eastern Ladakh are the latest examples of the “unacceptable behaviour” of the Chinese Communist Party.
He also praised India’s decision to ban 59 Chinese apps, including TikTok, which he said are “security risks” to the Indian people.
“It’s important that democracies like ours work together, especially as we see more clear than ever the true scope of the challenge posed by the Chinese communist party.
“Our infrastructure projects, our supply chains, our sovereignty, and our people’s health and safety are all at risk. If we get it wrong,” Pompeo said in his virtual keynote address to the annual ‘India Ideas Summit’ of the US India Business Council. (AGENCIES)
