Pompeo hits Biden on China: Weakness creates risk making enemy think 'they can walk all over you'
Fox News
Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo joined ‘Hannity’ to weigh in on foreign relations.
… Sean, it’s not remotely how we approached making sure that we put real pressure on the Chinese Communist Party, in particular with Taiwan. In our final days we authorized MQ-9 reapers to be sold to the Taiwanese so they could defend their country. We did the same thing with F-16s. We made clear we were going to continue freedom of navigation efforts up through the straight and when the Chinese spoke of reunification—well, that’s just false. It was never part of China. We didn’t allow them to use that language without confronting it. We have to be serious about these things, Sean. You know this, right? When you are weak, you beget risk. You create real risk because your adversaries believe they can walk all over you. When you’re strong, when you’re clear about the words you use and you’re prepared to back them up, as the Trump Administration always was, when you’re prepared to back up the things that will secure American freedom, your adversaries take note of that.
