U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo encouraged other nations to follow the UK's lead and push back against the actions of the Chinese Communist Party. Speaking on an official visit to London on Tuesday alongside British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, Pompeo described China's leadership as a "threat" and said their handling of the current global health crisis was “disgraceful,” accusing the country of a cover-up to further its own interests.

Raab said the United States and other allies needed to stand up for their values on the international stage amid ratcheting tensions with both China and Russia.

“Rather than helping the world, General Secretary Xi (Jinping, Chinese President) has shown the world the party's true face. We talked about how we've seen Hong Kong's freedoms crushed, we've watched the CCP bully its neighbours, militarize features in the South China Sea and instigate a deadly confrontation with India," Pompeo said.
