Ruling Communist Party in China was ‘no friend to democracy’. Pompeo in India

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Tuesday minced no words to slam China over its recent border misadventures as he along with Defence Secretary Mark T Esper paid a visit to the National War Memorial in New Delhi.

Expressing his country’s support for India in its attempt to safeguard its ‘sovereignty’, Pompeo said that it was evident that the ruling Communist Party in China was ‘no friend to democracy’.

Our leaders and citizens see with increasing clarity that Chinese Communist Party (CCP) is no friend to democracy, rule of law, transparency… I’m glad to say India and US are taking all steps to strengthen cooperation against all threats and not just those posed by CCP,” news agency ANI quoted Mike Pompeo, as saying.
