CHINA-US: US SECRETARY OF STATE CRITICISES BRI
|
While on a Latin America tour at the end of last week, US Secretary of State Pompeo told reporters during the trip on October 18, in Mexico City that “when China comes calling it’s not always to the good of your citizens. When they show up with deals that seem to be too good to be true it’s often the case that they, in fact, are.” In an editorial on October 22, the state-run China Daily newspaper said Pompeo’s comments were “ignorant and malicious” and criticism that its ambitions Belt and Road infrastructure initiative was creating debt traps in other countries was false.
