OREANDA-NEWS. Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian suggested that US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo should be ashamed of spreading lies about China and the Communist Party.

So the Chinese politician commented on the statement of the chief of American diplomacy that the Chinese Communist Party poses a more serious challenge for the United States than the Cold War with the USSR.

“Mr. Pompeo brings with him and spreads political virus and disinformation wherever he goes. Immediately after his visit to the Czech Republic, our embassy in this country had to do a lot to get rid of the fruits of his bad influence,” Zhao Lijian said on August 13 at a briefing. “I would like to take this opportunity to ask you one favuor. Maybe you ask Mr. Pompeo if he does not feel guilty that he repeats open lies so obsessively day after day,” the diplomat added.
