U.S.-China tensions loom over Sec. Pompeo visit to U.K. The Secretary of State and British officials are set to discuss Hong Kong, as well as Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei.
During his London trip, Pompeo will discuss Hong Kong, as well as Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, which the U.S. has accused of making sensitive information vulnerable to"manipulation and espionage" by China. The company and the Chinese government reject these accusations.
Pompeo is scheduled to meet Prime Minister Boris Johnson, Hong Kong democracy activist Nathan Law, who recently fled to the U.K., and Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong before the territory was handed back to China after more than 150 years in 1997. On Monday, Britain angered China when it announced it would suspend its extradition treaty with Hong Kong.Sign Up
