Beijing Strikes Hostile Tone at Pompeo Visit Amid U.S.-China Tensions
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In China, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with his counterpart amid
tense relations and an escalating trade war between the two countries.
The talks were marked by a decidedly hostile tone, with Chinese Foreign
Minister Wang Yi saying, "We believe China and the U.S. should stick to
the correct path of cooperation and win-win, rather than be mired in a
wrong path full of conflicts and confrontations." Both President Trump
and Vice President Mike Pence have publicly accused China of interfering
in U.S. elections.
