this point he continues to back to china now a bit of background has always been a hawk on trying or even before he entered government he was very much a controversial commentator on chinese events in particular very much and in many occasions a conspiracy theorist but many experts still questioning why my compo is pressing a particular theory that has no support from the u.s. traditional allies and certainly active opposition from countries like russia and some point out that might propose actually speaking to an audience of one and that is indeed the president in the white house donald trump who from his own comments on china in recent days indicate that he is very much making it a central tenet of his election campaign china bashing he has concluded is a very good way to go during this election season so certainly might pompei or controversial as his comments may be appears to be backing up the president in
