And according to administration officials, the process is going smoothly as countries around the world increasingly recognize the imminent threat that is encroaching communism.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo recently stated during a conversation at The Economic Club of New York with Marie-Josée Kravis, Chair Emeritus of the Club and a Senior fellow of the Hudson Institute, that the U.S. has made great strides in "demonstrat[ing] to the world the threat that the Chinese Communist Party poses to them." At the same time, individual nations need to do more to assess the threat and decide on their own the nature of the situation, and not just go along with it because "the United States told them" to do so.

Citing the United Kingdom as one example of this, Pompeo explained how British officials have banned the Chinese telecommunications company Huawei from supplying infrastructure for its up-and-coming 5G networks. This is the exact opposite of what Canada is doing, by the way, as our neighbor to the north doubles down on its ties to communist China.

After conducting "a thorough analysis based on a set of information," U.K. officials decided that it was in the best interests of British people to avoid partnering with Huawei, especially since the "Five Eyes" coalition determined that using the Chinese company's chipsets represents a threat to privacy, not to mention national secrets.
