Pompeo to Biden: It's The Obligation Of Every Administration To Protect The Previous Administration
Date Published on Feb. 5, 2021
POMPEO: It's the obligation of every administration to protect the previous administration and -- and all the people who were working on behalf of the United States government. I -- I hope they'll do that.
But, more importantly, more importantly than protecting myself or others, this is bigger. You know, you -- you gave the jobs report as you opened this segment. This policy with China matters about -- to every one of the people who is out there seeking employment. If we get this wrong, Maria, we will live in a world that is so deeply different. We will see these sanctions on our leaders pale in comparison to the pain and the absence of prosperity that will be here in the United States of America if we don't get this right.
It's one of the things that I'm proudest of that we did. We protected American jobs. We protected American businesses. We made sure that our intellectual property was in a better place. These are the things that will ultimately matter.
I hope this administration will hear these voices. The American people are now aware. What happened in COVID didn't have to happen. All the -- the -- the millions of jobs that were lost as a result of the Wuhan virus didn't have to happen. But the Chinese Communist Party acted in a way that created enormous risk, hundreds of thousands of lives lost here in the United States and billions of dollars in personal income for ordinary people all across America. Those are the things I really hope the administration will focus on. source

Blinken Presses China On Uighurs, Hong Kong In First Call
Feb. 6 - US Secretary of State Antony Blinken pressed Beijing on its treatment of Uighurs, Tibetans and Hong Kong in the first conversation between top officials of the two powers since President Joe Biden took office.
"I made clear the US will defend our national interests, stand up for our democratic values, and hold Beijing accountable for its abuses of the international system," Blinken said on Twitter of his call with senior Chinese official Yang Jiechi.
Blinken told Yang that the United States "will continue to stand up for human rights and democratic values, including in Xinjiang, Tibet and Hong Kong," a State Department statement said of the call, which took place on Friday Washington time.
Blinken also "pressed China to join the international in condemning the military coup in Burma," it said.
The top US diplomat said the United States would hold Beijing "accountable for its efforts to threaten stability in the Indo-Pacific, including across the Taiwan Strait, and its undermining of the rules-based international system."
The tough tone comes after Blinken in his confirmation hearing said he would continue former president Donald Trump's tougher approach to China in a rare point of agreement between the two administrations.
Blinken has said he agrees with a determination by the State Department under Trump that Beijing is carrying out genocide in the western region of Xinjiang, where rights groups say more than one million Uighurs and other mostly Muslim Turkic-speaking people have been rounded up in camps.
Beijing has also ramped up a crackdown in Hong Kong, arresting leading activists, after imposing a new law against subversion following major protests in the financial hub to which it had guaranteed a separate system. source

Myanmar is a member of the East Asia Summit, Non-Aligned Movement, ASEAN, and BIMSTEC, but it is not a member of the Commonwealth of Nations. It is a country rich in jade and gems, oil, natural gas, and other mineral resources. Myanmar is also endowed with renewable energy; it has the highest solar power potential compared to other countries of the Great Mekong Subregion.[15] In 2013, its GDP (nominal) stood at US$56.7 billion and its GDP (PPP) at US$221.5 billion.[16] The income gap in Myanmar is among the widest in the world, as a large proportion of the economy is controlled by supporters of the former military government.[17] As of 2020, according to the Human Development Index, Myanmar ranks 147 out of 189 countries in human development. more details

Retired diplomat says 'big man management style' sows seeds of arrogance
Feb. 6 - BANGKOK -- On Monday, after months of saber rattling about alleged irregularities in Myanmar's Nov. 8 general election, Senior General Min Aung Hlaing staged the country's third coup since independence from Britain in 1948.
The commander in chief of defense services invoked powers based on Section 417 of the 2008 military-drafted constitution that enables the holder of his office to wrest full legal, judicial and executive power to create an instant dictatorship. more details

UN chief backs Myanmar people's right to peaceful protest in face of military coup
Feb. 6 - SINGAPORE: United Nations chief Antonio Guterres backed the right of the Myanmar people to peacefully express their rejection of this week's military takeover that displaced the country's elected civilian government.
"Coups are not acceptable in the modern world and I reject and condemn the coup," said the UN Secretary-General on Saturday (Feb 6) in an exclusive interview with CNA.
"I would strongly recommend the people of Myanmar to express their grievances but to do so in a peaceful way."
Mr Guterres' comments come in the wake of Monday's move during which Myanmar’s military declared a state of emergency and seized power. In an early morning raid, the army detained Myanmar leader Aung San Suu Kyi, President U Win Myint, and a raft of parliamentarians and activists.
Social media posts from Myanmar show a growing civil disobedience movement from people banging pots and pans every night, to reports of medical staff going on strike.
"BASIC HUMAN RIGHT"
Mr Guterres said the freedom of expression is a basic human right and urged the military "not to have any violence in relation to the people of Myanmar".
The UN Security Council held an emergency meeting after news of the military takeover broke and has called for the release of Aung San Suu Kyi as well as others detained by the military. But unlike the UN chief, it stopped short of actually condemning the coup.
The joint statement by the Security Council had been held up, with one diplomat telling AFP that China and Russia had "asked for more time".
China is one of Myanmar’s biggest foreign investors and earlier this week, China’s state-controlled Xinhua news agency downplayed the significance of the military takeover, referring to it as a "major cabinet reshuffle".
The UN chief told CNA they would do "everything possible to make sure that (Aung San Suu Kyi) is released", but admitted the UN is powerless to guarantee that the de-facto leader of Myanmar would not face long-term house arrest again.
Aung San Suu Kyi spent nearly 15 years in detention between 1989 and 2010. She has not been seen publicly since the coup. The Myanmar police have charged her with illegally importing communications equipment, after finding walkie-talkies during a search of her home.
Mr Guterres assured the people of Myanmar that "we would be doing everything we can in order to make the international community aware". source
