LONDON — US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo calls China’s ruling Communist Party “the central threat of our times” that challenges Western principles.

“The Chinese Communist Party presents the central threat of our times,” Washington’s top diplomat says today at a joint appearance with Britain’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab.

He adds that Western allies must “ensure that the next century is governed by these Western democratic principles.”
