Pompeo Awarded Medal in Visit to Taiwan, Beijing Cries “Shameless and Futile”

Former #US state secretary #MikePompeo was received by President #TsaiIngwen at her office on 3 March during his visit to #Taiwan.

In her meeting with the visitors, who came wearing a mask emblazoned with US and Taiwan flags, and Chinese words ‘firm as a rock’, Tsai thanked Pompeo on behalf of the Taiwan people for his contribution to multiple breakthroughs in #TaiwanUSRelations and supported Taiwan’s participation in the international community during his tenure as the US secretary of state. She also awarded him the Order of the Brilliant Star with Grand Cordon, Taiwan's top honours, for his efforts to elevate Taiwan-US relations, which includes lifting US restrictions on official interactions with Taiwan, regularising arms sales to Taiwan, and raising the level of mutual visits by senior officials between Taiwan and the US.

In #Beijing, spokesperson for the foreign ministry #WangWenbin called Pompeo’s visit “shameless” and “futile”.
