WASHINGTON<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 The United States has accepted a proposal by European Union foreign policy chief Josep Borrell to create a US-EU dialogue on China, the nation’s top diplomat said Thursday.<\/p>\n

The proposal was put forward last week during a videoconference.<\/p>\n

The mechanism will discuss “the concerns we have about the threat China poses to the West and our shared democratic ideals,” said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in a speech to the Brussels Forum, an annual event held by the German Marshall Fund.<\/p>\n

“I look forward to kicking that off with High Representative Borrell just as soon as we can pull it together,” he added.<\/p>\n

In his remarks, Pompeo said the Chinese Communist Party’s coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) “cover-up” has “accelerated everyone\u2019s awakening. Europeans, like Americans, are starting to find their voice.”<\/p>\n

“Clearly, there is a transatlantic awakening to the truth of what\u2019s happening.<\/p>\n

“We have to work together to continue the transatlantic awakening to the China challenge in the interest of preserving our free societies, our prosperity, and our future,” he said.<\/p>\n

On Monday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters after an EU-China summit that relations between the EU and China require cooperation and trust on both sides.<\/p>\n

The EU has \u201cone of the most strategically important and challenging\u201d relationships with China, which is a \u201cnegotiating partner, an economic competitor, and systemic rival,\u201d said Von der Leyen.<\/p>\n

Pompeo said he does not think the Chinese Communist Party intends to behave “in a way consistent with what we demand from each other in the transatlantic alliance.”<\/p>\n

“We do our level best to compete and to operate with a rules-based order, where you can go to our court systems and make a claim that is truly adjudicated in a fair and impartial way, absent politics,” he added. “That doesn\u2019t exist today.”\u00a0(Anadolu)<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
