SUPER-SPECIAL: Secretary Pompeo tweeted again:
We have called on university boards to disclose and divest from malign PRC companies. We now require think tanks to disclose foreign funding sources before participating in @StateDept projects and scrutinize visas for ties to the PLA. https://t.co/MGWWh11fQv pic.twitter.com/hrrUgKaddg

Protecting American universities from the CCP’s malign influence is essential to academic freedom. We exposed Confucius Institutes for what they really are: hubs for disinformation and propaganda arms of the CCP. They are being closed fast across America. #NotTiredofWinning pic.twitter.com/1pdOjn8nia

We cracked down on CCP influence ops inside our borders by ending United Front operations disguised as cultural exchanges, and more. Other countries are now following suit. #NoMoreAppeasement https://t.co/h0ZWfz3HkI pic.twitter.com/5ji2cD6Kvd

U.S. state legislators are targets, too. I released details in a speech in Madison, Wisconsin. Read the whole thing. https://t.co/TWIWNCmA8P

I was the first U.S. Administration official to expose China's influence operations in detail, in public. Chose @NatlGovsAssoc because this isn't a partisan issue – it's a threat to all Americans. https://t.co/VGsjgKsCDD

The CCP conducted espionage from its diplomatic facility in Houston, Texas? We closed it down. Not gonna happen on our watch. pic.twitter.com/fYgjmBVm0Z

This isn't the Cold War. This is something different. The China threat is already within our borders. pic.twitter.com/uVPbTPQrpF

In 2015, standing with then President Barack Obama, General Secretary Xi said the CCP had “no intention to militarize” the Spratly Islands. This promise was broken. The Trump Administration has defended nations that defend their sovereignty against Chinese aggression. pic.twitter.com/MyHjpX0bdt

While the Chinese Communist Party lied about and hid the COVID-19 outbreak in Wuhan, the Trump Administration led the world in publicly calling for transparency and denounced the cover-up. #ChinaLiedPeopleDied pic.twitter.com/7YkSmKb6dY

CCP closed travel inside China and allowed the world to suffer. America invents vaccines for the world. Every human being can see this contrast. pic.twitter.com/NTSQAOIUIW

When the CCP shamefully violated Sino-British Joint Declaration, a UN-registered treaty that promised a high degree of autonomy to Hong Kong people, the Trump Administration revoked Hong Kong's special trade status, sanctioned complicit CCP & HKSAR officials. #StandWithHongKong pic.twitter.com/8vWFB6f0dL

The CCP broke its promise to the people of Hong Kong. We imposed real costs on those denying freedom to those noble people. pic.twitter.com/2IVRJDLdql

The CCP lies, and makes empty promises. We have to recognize this pattern, and enact consequences if we want to change bad behavior. Appeasement and "dialogue" for dialogue's sake won't work. pic.twitter.com/8S1txnEZqc

The Chinese Communist Party is not the same as the Chinese people. We support the aspirations of the Chinese people to live free of the CCP's authoritarian rule. I made this clear in my Nixon Library speech. https://t.co/FPZBGMREye pic.twitter.com/uF5QViEbLq

The Trump Administration ended decades of appeasement and misguided engagement policy toward the Chinese Communist Party. We can no longer ignore the political and ideological differences between the U.S. and the People's Republic of China, between freedom and tyranny. pic.twitter.com/zrR7hRGfPp

Our framers understood that a nation flourishes when individuals can exercise their religious freedom. Governments should protect this right, not propagate a religious ideology. On National Religious Freedom Day, we reaffirm our commitment to protect this universal right. pic.twitter.com/UTOQxJ5VqK

The Chinese Communist Party is a threat. The people of China are not. For 50 years, America bent its knee to China. Under the Trump Administration, no more. pic.twitter.com/OS1J1WrL5k
