Bartiromo to Pompeo: You Were the First Administration to Actually Change the Approach To China

‘We took seriously 50 years failed policy’

EXCERPT:

POMPEO: “We took seriously, 50 years of failed policy from America flipped on its head and we put a real premium on protecting Americans from the threat that Chinese Communist Party presents to each and every one of us.”
BARTIROMO: “Yes, you did and you were the first administration, the first secretary of state to actually change the approach to China, in this 40 years of engagements, because ever since Nixon first went to China we were under this impression that China was going to open its markets, that China was going to see democracy, see what's happening in Hong Kong say, OK, we'll move to the middle, that's -- that is exactly the opposite what has actually taken place. And you and your colleagues in the Trump administration recognized that.”
