Mike Pompeo, Donald Trump's Secretary of State, made extremely harsh accusations against China on Tuesday, announcing new sanctions on China and declared that China's actions constitute "genocide" and "crimes against humanity."

The harsh accusations refer to China's treatment of the Uighurs in East Turkistan (Xinjiang Province). According to Pompeo's statement:

"For the past four years, this Administration has exposed the nature of the Chinese Communist Party and called it what it is: a Marxist-Leninist regime that exerts power over the long-suffering Chinese people through brainwashing and brute force. We have paid particular attention to the CCP’s treatment of the Uyghur people, a Muslim minority group that resides largely in the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in Western China. While the CCP has always exhibited a profound hostility to all people of faith, we have watched with growing alarm the Party’s increasingly repressive treatment of the Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups. ...
Party apparatchiks have denied international observers unhindered access to Xinjiang and denounced reliable reports about the worsening situation on the ground, instead spinning fanciful tales of happy Uyghurs participating in educational, counter-terror, women’s empowerment, and poverty alleviation projects. Meanwhile, they are delivering far darker messages to their own people, portraying Uyghurs as “malignant tumors,” comparing their faith to a “communicable plague,” and exhorting the Party faithful to implement a crushing blow, telling them “you can’t uproot all the weeds hidden among the crops in the field one-by-one; you need to spray chemicals to kill them all.” ...
These crimes are ongoing and include: the arbitrary imprisonmentor other severe deprivation of physical liberty of more than one million civilians, forced sterilization, torture of a large number of those arbitrarily detained, forced labor, and the imposition of draconian restrictions on freedom of religion or belief, freedom of expression, and freedom of movement. The Nuremberg Tribunals at the end of World War II prosecuted perpetrators for crimes against humanity, the same crimes being perpetrated in Xinjiang. In addition, after careful examination of the available facts, I have determined that the PRC, under the direction and control of the CCP, has committed genocide against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang. I believe this genocide is ongoing, and that we are witnessing the systematic attempt to destroy Uyghurs by the Chinese party-state. The governing authorities of the second most economically, militarily, and politically powerful country on earth have made clear that they are engaged in the forced assimilation and eventual erasure of a vulnerable ethnic and religious minority group, even as they simultaneously assert their country as a global leader and attempt to remold the international system in their image."

I've been writing about these atrocities for years. Many Washington politicians, both Republicans and Democrats, have been calling on the Trump administration since 2017 to make this determination. In a televised interview on Tuesday on Fox News, Pompeo defended the timing of the announcement, on his last day in office: "Look, I’m happy to accept that critique. What took so long is when you do something like this, you have to be right. You have to – and I think this will be a bipartisan analysis that will be shared by a broad swath of American leadership. Indeed, leaders all across the world I think will recognize that the United States got this right."

Pompeo calls for investigation of China's Wuhan virology laboratory

Pompeo has made several statements and accusations recently on China. Last week, Pompeo called for a a transparent and thorough investigation into the origin of COVID-19, the Wuhan Coronavrus, including a thorough investigation of the Wuhan Institute of Virology (WIV), to investigate the evidence that the virus was created by Chinese scientists and then escaped from the WIV lab.

Pompeo this week released new information concerning the activities inside China’s government laboratories in 2019. According to Pompeo:

"The COVID-19 pandemic was avoidable. Any responsible country would have invited world health investigators to Wuhan within days of an outbreak. China instead refused offers of help – including from the United States – and punished brave Chinese doctors, scientists, and journalists who tried to alert the world to the dangers of the virus. Beijing continues today to withhold vital information that scientists need to protect the world from this deadly virus, and the next one."

One of those brave Chinese scientists is Li-Meng Yan a virologist who made claims about the creation of the coronavirus and her relationship with the Chinese government, and then had to flee from her life from China. She has taken refuge in United States, at an undisclosed location.

Pompeo lifts restrictions on American officials in Taiwan

Two weeks ago, Pompeo announced that the State Dept. is lifting its internal restrictions on how American officials may interact with their Taiwanese government counterparts. These complicated restrictions had been in place to enforce the delusional "One China policy," where China and the United States both say that there is but one China, but they don't way who the one China is.

The Trump administration has also increased weapons sales to Taiwan, to help them defend against an expected invasion from China. China has been threatening this invasion for years, and it could occur at any time.

China calls Pompeo 'Mr Liar' displaying 'final hysteria'

Prior to Tuesday's announcement, where Pompeo accused China of genocide and crimes against humanity targeting the Uighurs, China's statement media went on a hysterical tirade accusing Pompeo of lying and "final hysteria." China blamed Pompeo's hysteria on realizing that he followed the wrong guy as his boss, Donald Trump.

According to China's Global Times:

"A long-term anti-China hawk in the Trump administration, Pompeo tweeted around 30 anti-China posts during the weekend, including verbal attacks on the Communist Party of China (CPC), Chinese media entities, policies concerning the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Hong Kong, the South China Sea, China's response to the COVID-19 outbreak and so on. ...
"Pompeo is now at the stage of physical and psychological hysteria. Why? Because he is facing such a huge failure in his own political career and rising anxiety in his final days after he realized that he followed the wrong guy as his boss, especially after the Capitol Hill riots," Shen Yi, a professor at the School of International Relations and Public Affairs of Fudan University, told the Global Times on Sunday."

We can hardly wait to see how China will react to the accusations of genocide.

This kind of hysteria from the Chinese Communists just emphasizes how delusional Chinese government officials are. Unfortunately, these hysterical delusions make them extremely dangerous.

Pressure on the Biden administration

These recent announcements are fairly certain to be timed to put pressure on the incoming Biden administration not to lose the ground that America has gained versus China during the administration of Donald Trump, becoming the first president in decades to confront China on theft of intellectual property and many other Chinese crimes.

There is real concern that Joe Biden himself, who has spent the last year in his basement, is not capable of leading the administration as anything but a figurehead. These concerns have grown as evidence accumulated that Democrats like Eric Swalwell, Dianne Feinstein, Hunter Biden and Joe Biden are all totally compromised by the Chinese and Chinese money and Chinese honeypots. China has openly used money and sex to influence American politicians, almost always Democrats, to gain intelligence and compromise policy. With Trump making these harsh accusations in the last few days, the objective of the Trump administration is to pressure prevent the Biden administration and prevent it from simply returning to the previous situation before Trump took office.
