US Secretary of State, Michael Pompeo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Editor’s Note: Dominica News Online (DNO) recently published an interview done by Xinhua News Agency in which the Chinese Foreign Minister addressed China-US relations from a Chinese perspective. In the interest of fairness, we sought and obtained a published interview with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo which was conducted by Maria Bartiromo of Fox News.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

QUESTION:<\/strong>\u00a0Joining me right now with his reaction and the state of affairs right now between the U.S. and China is U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo. Mr. Secretary, it\u2019s great to have you this morning. Thanks very much for being here.<\/p>\n

SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong>\u00a0Maria, it\u2019s great to be with you this morning on this important topic.<\/p>\n

QUESTION:<\/strong>\u00a0So I want to start with the U.S. sanctioning the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corporation and two of its officials for their connection to the human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Tell us about this company, its reach, why these sanctions are important in terms of moving the needle on what\u2019s taking place.<\/p>\n

SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, the risk to the people in that region has been great. I\u2019ve talked about this. This is the greatest human rights violation of this century to date. And what we have attempted to do is make clear to China, if you want to participate on the world stage, you can\u2019t engage in behavior like this. So we\u2019ve begun to impose sanctions on the individuals and businesses involved in this.<\/p>\n

The most recent set of sanctions put out by the Department of Treasury will put the businesses operating there on notice they\u2019ve got to change their behavior, they\u2019ve got to stop using slave labor, they\u2019ve got to stop participating in these systems that have been connected to forced sterilizations, forced abortions. These are terrible, terrible things that are taking place there, and we\u2019re going to impose real costs on those businesses.<\/p>\n

This company is involved in the cotton trade and so has deep connectivity to Western businesses, including those in the United States. And we\u2019ve been very clear: We\u2019ve told U.S. businesses to take a real, deep look into their supply chains. I don\u2019t think companies \u2013 some brand names here in America \u2013 want to be connected to what\u2019s taking place there.<\/p>\n
