PRAGUE \u2014 China poses a threat to the West that is in some ways \u201cworse\u201d than that posed by the Soviet Union during the Cold War, U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said in a speech to the Czech senate Wednesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhats happening now isnt Cold War 2.0. The challenge of resisting the CCP [Chinese Communist Party] threat is in some ways worse,\u201d Pompeo said, using the first stop of his five-day visit to Central Europe to raise the prospect of Chinese world domination and remind his Czech hosts of their years under Soviet oppression.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CCP is already enmeshed in our economies, in our politics, in our societies in ways the Soviet Union never was.\u201d<\/p>\n

While he noted that Russia continues to \u201cundermine\u201d Czech democracy and security, with disinformation campaigns and cyberattacks, Pompeo maintained that Chinas \u201ccampaigns of coercion of control\u201d were a bigger danger.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn your country alone, we see influence campaigns against your politicians and security forces, the theft of industrial data, and the use of economic leverage to stifle freedom itself,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

As an example, Pompeo cited the cancellation of a concert tour by the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra in China last year because of Prague Mayor Zden\u011bk H\u0159ibs pro-Taiwan policies.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe CCP leverages economic power to coerce countries,\u201d Pompeo said.<\/p>\n

In his speech, Pompeo recalled the decades of Czech domination by the Soviet Union and the Czech Communist Party, which ran the country unopposed from 1948 to 1989.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour nation, and others that suffered behind the Iron Curtain, know best of all how deeply communists plunge societies into ruin and repression,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen the Iron Curtain finally fell, Americans rejoiced in your freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n

Recalling Czech resistance to Communist rule, he urged Czech senators \u201cto stand up for the sovereignty and freedoms you and your countrymen demanded on the streets of Prague in 1968, in the Charter 77 document, and in Wenceslas Square in 1989.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pompeos visit, which began on Tuesday, comes as Czech senators are preparing an official trip to Taiwan<\/a> from August 30 to September 4. The delegation will be accompanied by H\u0159ib as well as representatives of more than 40 Czech companies.<\/p>\n

The senate speech came after a working lunch with Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babi\u0161. At a joint press conference following the meeting, Pompeo slammed China for its repression of the Hong Kong protests and called Beijings repression of Uighur Muslims \u201cthe human rights stain of the century,\u201d charging thaRead More \u2013 Source<\/a><\/p>\n
