Secretary of State Pompeo also told CNBC that 'every company's gotta make its own set of decisions' on how it deals with China in light of Beijing's efforts to stifle criticism abroad.

"But what we've seen over the last few weeks publicly, but we've known now for an awfully long time, is that the long arm of Beijing is reaching out into these companies, stealing their intellectual property, forcing technology transfer, making it very difficult to, in fact, make a profit in China for many, many companies," Pompeo said.

A single tweet in early October from Houston Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey — which read "Fight for Freedom. Stand for Hong Kong" — triggered a backlash from China, a major market for the NBA.that the U.S. company was failing to stand for American values. Pompeo said that "from a foreign policy perspective, we think it's completely inappropriate for China to attack U.S. businesses whose employees or customers exercise their fundamental freedoms here in the United States."

He added: "We just think that makes no sense. And we'd encourage every company to make — take a good, close look ensuring that the kinds of things, the reciprocity that President [Donald] Trump has been demanding from China, actually takes place."

Tough to listen to a guy who thinks it’s alright for foreign countries to interfere in Our elections. In matter of fact it’s impossible unless you sleep under the same rock he does.

American companies which set up shops in china to profit from the huge chinese markets raked in more than 300 billion a year. The american factories agreed to the technology transfer before signing a deal. Nobody pointed guns to their heads. Calling china a thief is stupid.

15. Which proved that the western people are kept ignorant about china. They were fed with hate against china for decades and they are parroting the same hate agendas until today. Ignorant fools. They think democracy is the best system and they are forcing it on other countries.

12. Hk is the result of the freedom of press. Hk youths were brought up with hate against their motherland and praises for the country which forcefully stole them them china. This is why press freedom can be lethal if not properly controlled.

11. 'press freedom' is only good if the medias reported real news and not create fake news to promote their own agendas. It is even worse if they promoted hate. Hk most popular daily was owned by an anti-china tycoon which consistently spewed hate against china for decades.

8. The communists govt used to shoot criminals who stole by making counterfeits, but the western democratic countries insisted that they stop if they wanted to join them in the wto. So they stopped shooting them which gave the chinese criminals balls to produce fakes again

7. The democratic leaders were selected through votes. Whoever is the most popular may rule their countries. No intelligence or qualifications needed. Even a real-estate salesman can be the president, or even an actor. They were selected like in a beauty contest.

6. Hence the chinese people does not vote for the officials. It was left to highly intelligent officials to select the best of the best amongst them which the democratic countries criticises.

6. For generations the chinese believed that govt official jobs should be given to highly intelligent scholars and this tradition continued until today. Many of the chinese govt officials were graduates from foreign universities including havard and yale.

5. The chinese president was selected from the 3000 top officials. The best few will be selected to contest for the presidency. They were selected based on their previous achievements in improving the counties allocated to them.

'We cheated, We lied, We stole'

Red China has neen and always will be our mortal enemy! of course KingJames SteveKerr and perv pusher adam silver love these commies! they bow to Red China!! these r sick sick ppl!

Oh, okay Mike. Now, where was I? Oh, can somebody pass me those potato chips. My soda is getting cold.

How about US attacks on Huawei and other Chinese companies and your badmouth about Huawei and China? Completely inappropriate and disgusting.

China's 'attacks' are a reaction.... To our attacks... This foolishness is hurting everyone

Psst. They're COMMUNISTS. Everything they do is inappropriate.

What attacks?😂Negotiations with Chinese a bit difficult you find? Yes chap, they tell you how it was, is & will be...then send you to hell. Just making statements to rile up the base is not going to work. Fly to North Korea & learn negotiation skills again. Kim will teach you.

You asked for it!Unfortunately!

Don't shy away from an implementation: The CCP requires that American companies operating in China must obey the values of the CCP, even if employees are outside China.

The trade deal is a huge hoax.China has to buy US porks to minimize the effect of pig swine suffered from the imports of unhealthy Russian porks.China realized Argentina benefits from the 50% mark up they import from US bc they resell it to china.Trump didn't give a sh*t ab this.

What about US attacks on China policies? US has done many things (discriminates against Asian students, no dual process) that are immoral and wrong, does China attack the US? US police crackdown on protesters/rioters themselves and rightly so.

China thinks, that if companies are stupid enough to think they have open markets, anything is possible. It is time for China Disengagement. tt:SecPompeo FoxBusiness GordonGChang
