\"QUESTION: <\/strong> Now let\u2019s turn to China. You made a very important speech last week in which \u2013 and if we may, let\u2019s put up the line that I think is fundamental here, when you said, \u201cIt\u2019s no longer realistic to ignore the fundamental difference between our two systems,\u201d \u2013 the PRC, communist; the United States, a free nation. And here we are. It is extraordinary that we\u2019re still undergoing cyberattacks. They continue to steal intellectual property. The list goes on. You know it better than anyone. It\u2019s stunning stuff as we try to create a meaningful, albeit reduced-scope, trade agreement.<\/p>\n SECRETARY POMPEO:<\/strong> Yeah. Lou, I think that\u2019s right. Thanks for the kind words on the remarks. I felt like they were important because we need to make sure the world understands the risk that\u2019s presented from the Chinese Communist Party and the ramifications for what, frankly, we all just let go for too long. The good news is that President Trump has recognized this threat, and we\u2019re taking it head on.<\/p>\n Look, I hope there\u2019s a good phase one deal. I hope it makes sense for both countries. I hope we can proceed down that path. I know the President wants that. And where we can find places to cooperate, we should. But you listed just a handful \u2013 whether it\u2019s what\u2019s taking place in Xinjiang, whether it\u2019s their forced technology transfer or their cyberattacks or the work in the South China Sea that poses risks to countries all throughout Asia, those are serious risks, and President Trump takes them seriously. We need the world to join us in that.\"<\/p>",
