LONDON ¨C U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told Britain on Wednesday it needed to change its attitude toward China and telecoms company Huawei, casting the world¡¯s second largest economy as a threat to the West similar to that once posed by the Soviet Union.
Pompeo questioned the attitude of Prime Minister Theresa May¡¯s government toward Beijing and goaded London by saying that the late former British leader Margaret Thatcher, who was known as the Iron Lady, would have taken a much firmer line with China.
He brought a tough message to Britain, which agreed last month to allow China¡¯s Huawei Technologies a restricted role in building parts of its 5G network.
