The Chinese embassy in the U.S. issued a letter complaining about videos from the Hudson Institute’s China Center in which former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo spoke out against the Communist Chinese Party.
“The CCP wants me to stop speaking the truth. Ain’t gonna happen,” Pompeo tweeted on Tuesday.
Pompeo’s post included a photo of a letter in which the Chinese embassy in the U.S. complained about the videos and claimed that the Communist Party of China has benefitted the nation’s people.
In the Hudson Institute videos, Pompeo called out the communist Chinese regime for being against the people of China.
“The Chinese Communist Party doesn’t represent the Chinese people,” Pompeo says in the first video, which also includes English and what appears to be Chinese text of his remarks on the screen. “The CCP is a one-party, totalitarian, political organization committed to a foreign, anti-Chinese ideology. It started out as a group of brutal, radical extremists. And frankly, not much has changed.”
“There is no bigger enemy for the CCP than you, the Chinese people,” Pompeo declared. He also said that “what the CCP truly cares about is maintaining their stranglehold over the Chinese people.”
So far, the video has amassed more than 53,000 views on YouTube.

The letter from the Chinese embassy claimed that Pompeo had “made groundless accusation against the Communist Party of China.”
“The CPC is founded for the people and nurtured by the people. The leadership of the CPC is the choice of history and of the people, and is endorsed in China’s Constitution. China’s development would never have been possible without the leadership of the CPC. Under its leadership, the Chinese people have, through arduous struggle and hard work, established the People’s Republic of China and freed themselves from bullying, oppression and subjugation,” the note claimed.
Pompeo served CIA director during a portion of President Donald Trump’s tenure before moving on to serve as secretary of state. Prior to those roles, he had served as a congressman from Kansas in the U.S. House of Representatives. He appears to be open to the possibility of mounting a White House bid.
“So the decision about what I’ll do next, the place I’ll find myself whether that’s helping someone run for president or putting myself forward as a candidate, ah, will depend on my judgment about the most effective way to deliver what the American people deserve,” Pompeo said last month.
