Secretary of State Mike Pompeo Saturday blasted the Chinese Communist Party’s “obscene propaganda” in the wake of George Floyd’s killing and accused the Chinese government of a “callous exploitation” of Floyd’s death.
“Beijing in recent days has showcased its continuing contempt for the truth and scorn for law,” Pompeo said Saturday in a statement. “The [Chinese Communist Party’s] propaganda efforts – seeking to conflate the United States’ actions in the wake of the death of George Floyd with the CCP’s continued denial of basic human rights and freedom – should be seen for the fraud that they are.”
China has reveled in the unrest in the United States in the wake of the May 25 death of Floyd while in the custody of a Minneapolis police officer who has been charged with his murder.
