China could 'strike back firmly' at provocation by the US

SINGAPORE - The China-US relationship has not faced a more challenging time since the normalisation of ties 40 years ago and the main reason is the new round of McCarthyism in the United States that is creating a red terror, a Chinese analyst has said.

McCarthyism was a period in US history in the 1950s during which Joseph McCarthy, a senator, launched a series of investigations and hearings in an effort to expose the supposed communist infiltration of various parts of the US government. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also attacked the CCP in a speech on Thursday, calling on the Chinese people and"free nations of the world" to change the behaviour of China's ruling party."If the free world doesn't change Communist China, Communist China will surely change us," he warned.

This is because China has not come up with an ideology to rival the US's and apart from some skirmishes in the South China Sea, the two sides are not engaged in all-out military confrontation."And despite the trade and tech war, our economies are still very much connected and intertwined," he pointed out.
