"The plan is an American and Israeli disavowal of the Oslo accords, and so the Palestinian Authority now sees itself as free to disregard the agreements with Israel, including security cooperation."
"...Whether it's at the World Trade Organization, or whether it's in how we handle infrastructure and technology, or it's how we ensure we have the military capabilities...we have to collectively, the West, ensure that the next century is governed by these Western democratic principles."Pompeo's declaration is a starker one than President Trump's hot and cold statements on Beijing. While the president has overseen a two-year trade war with China, and has accused the country of currency manipulation, stealing intellectual property, and interfering in elections, he has also hailed a recently-signed trade deal with Beijing, and described Chinese President Xi Jinping as a man who "truly loves his country."
"China has figured out that the next war will be fought by chips, not ships, it will be a cyberwar. And we are already seeing elements of that... So, I think what's going to happen is that they are going to win the race to the digital national currency, the digital renminbi that will displace the US dollar hegemony and world reserve currency dominance."
