WASHINGTON - U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Friday likened China’s treatment of more than one million Uighur Muslims to George Orwell’s “1984” novel, saying the Communist Party was detaining and abusing them in internment camps.
Speaking at an American Association of Christian Counselors event in Nashville, Tennessee, Pompeo also said he wished the National Basketball Association had acknowledged the situation in the Xinjiang region. NBA has been grappling with the backlash from a tweet by Rockets General Manager Daryl Morey last weekend in support of Hong Kong anti-government protests. Morey deleted his tweet but“The Chinese Communist Party is detaining and abusing more than one million Uighur Muslims in internment camps in Xinjiang, the western region of China,” Pompeo said. “The pages of George Orwell’s 1984 are coming to life there. I wish the NBA would acknowledge that.
Next stop Hong Kong
What’re we at, something like 3 million in internment camps in China? Thank God Germany didn’t create smart phones and outsource ridiculously cheap labor in the 1930s and 40s.
If he likes them so much why dont he take them all in?
Pompeo has a 1984 of his own in the border with Mexico.
China is getting things wrong. They are the ones telling us what to do and how to do it. Especially, if they have some ownership in our American businesses.
'And damn, is the President jealous!' Pompeo added.
It’s already here, crap stain 💩
If I was him I would not quote Orwell.
And Huxley's 'Brave New World' has already arrived in the USA.
That’s rich.. Orwell’s 1984 is here and now in TrumpLand.
SecPompeo realDonaldTrump 🖕
Our mission at is to build the social media platform that ends fake news
He does not have to look so far...
...and it's spreading to the world. The CCP's 5G, A.I., and surveillance tools pose a threat to international peace and security. Meanwhile, it has bought the UN's silence on political and human rights issues. The FreeWorld must act now.
ah...you can look right here for that!
pompeo=LYING SACK
It came to life already in many countries, so nothing new then.
You want to take this one, or shall I?
Then why does the GOP want to turn America Communist?
The only news here is that Pomp is just now realizing this.
Well finally something I AGREE with Pompeo on. A brief moment of 'sanity' & insight on his part! Not just being forced into these 're-education' camps, but many disappear & NEVER turn up again. Or turn up dead with their organs already FORCIBLY 'harvested'. Huge industry in China
It was already there in Palestine stupid. Chinese doing to Muslims what Jews doing to Gazans & Palestinians. Hindus doing same to Kashmiri Muslims. You killing Iranians by denying oil revenue to buy food & medicines. Don't fake love for humanity.
He should be meeting with his lawyers.
Trumps new playbook. Orwell's 1984.
Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? -Matthew 7:4
Whilst the Handmaid's Tale is playing out right there in the USA
Mike -You meant the White House and the State Department ?
Irony is dead.
Also here in the United States
it's also mirrored here as well, lol. doublesecretimpeachment
The irony.
He would know
I guess Pompous Pompeo missed last night's 2MinuteHate at realDonaldTrump's Nuremberg rally in Minneapolis where they put up a pic of IlhanMN to drive the crowd into a rage-filled frenzy.
Not the only place..
Pot meet kettle
Irony is dead 💀
Coming to life a lot closer to home than that
Should we tell him? We should, I mean...shouldn't we?
So we won't copy chinese shit in the free and democratic world. We rather play 'Mad Max 7' and follow the Law of our own Conscience.
Not to mention in Washington DC.
Ironic
irony
So why make any kind of deal with CCP
Orwell's '1984' coming to life in America from the Democrats ... china democrats same thing
