April 29, 2020 "Information Clearing House" - US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in recent days has launched a string of violent attacks on China. He accused China of causing enormous losses to the US and the world by "not sharing the information they had" again in an interview with Fox News on April 23, saying the Chinese government will "pay a price for what they did." One day earlier, he blasted China for taking advantage of a pandemic to "bully" neighbors and called on other nations to hold China to account. 

Pompeo targeted the Communist Party of China (CPC) in his remarks. He is the senior US official who's the most active in attacking the CPC, which reflects extreme hostility against socialist China and reveals his malicious goal to push the US and China into strategic rivalry.

The White House and the Republican Party have formulated a strategy to win the November presidential election by shifting the blame to China to divert domestic US attention. Pompeo is adding fuel to the blame game by attacking the ruling party of China. 

The former top intelligence official is steering the US Department of State into becoming the Central Intelligence Agency. He is playing with fire, making the 21st century an era of major power confrontation and undermining the foundations for peace. Despite being the chief diplomat of the US, he totally betrayed the basic responsibility with which he is entrusted to promote international understanding. He has become the enemy of world peace.
