US Sec. of State Pompeo: Citizens to exercise increased caution with respect to travel in or to China
|US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo continues with its warnings against China, this time asking the US citizens to exercise increased caution with respect to travel in or to China.
Pompeo also said the Trump administration wants to remove untrusted Chinese apps from US app stores operated by Apple and Google.
"The world has witnessed more examples of CCP efforts to coerce and control its citizens. Freedom-loving nations must together confront the CCP's aggressive behavior and the good news is that tide is absolutely turning," he added.
Pompeo announced a 'clean network' to use tech not from China.
