Who Is More Nazi-Like... Nazis Appearing in the US-China Verbal Clash

[Asia Economy Beijing=Special Correspondent Sunmi Park] "You speak like Joseph Goebbels of the Nazi regime in Germany!"

Amid ongoing conflicts between the United States and China over the legislation of the Hong Kong National Security Law (Hong Kong Security Law), Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong state-run media Global Times, directed this remark at U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

On the 7th (local time), Editor Hu pointed out on his Twitter account, "You are dividing the world and inciting hostility. You are not the best diplomat. You speak like Joseph Goebbels of the Nazi regime in Germany. I am worried that world peace might collapse because of extreme politicians like you."

He continued, "China has not engaged in war for the past 32 years, but the United States has been continuously fighting on four continents. Moreover, while the U.S. has withdrawn from many United Nations (UN) organizations that support world peace, China still plays the role of a guardian of the UN. The U.S. has also initiated unprecedented trade wars. Who can be said to be more Nazi-like?"

Editor Hu made it clear that this Nazi analogy was directed at Secretary Pompeo by posting content stating, "Secretary Pompeo said that China's politics regarding Hong Kong are like the Nazis during World War II."

Earlier, Secretary Pompeo explained in an interview with an online media outlet, "China's actions to strengthen control over Hong Kong are similar to Germany's actions during World War II," adding, "China breaking its promise to give freedom to the people of Hong Kong is somewhat like the promises broken by Germany when it advanced across Europe."
