Pompeo Said China Has the Most Suppressed Religious Freedom
During the visit to Rome, the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the seriousness of religious freedom suppression in China today was not comparable to other places. He also called on the Vatican to join the United States in condemning China's violation of religious freedom.
During a symposium at the U.S. Embassy in the Vatican, Pompeo said the Chinese Communist Party desired to eliminate the lamp of freedom on a horrifying scale. The suppression of every religious group in China included Protestantism family-churches, Tibetan Buddhists, Falun Gong practitioners, and Catholics.
The Vatican's Secretary for Relations with States Paul Gallagher attended the conference but did not mention China in his speech. He criticised some western people for advocating gender ideology and violating religious freedom.

蓬佩奧指無一地方打壓宗教自由比今日中國更嚴重
正在羅馬訪問的美國國務卿蓬佩奧表示，無一個地方打壓宗教自由，比今日中國的現況更嚴重，呼籲梵蒂岡與美國一同譴責中國侵犯宗教自由的行為。 蓬佩奧在美國駐梵蒂岡大使館舉辦的座談會上，指中共期望以驚人的規模撲滅自由之燈，打壓中國每個宗教團體，新教家庭教堂、藏傳佛教徒、法輪功奉獻者等，天主教徒亦不能倖免。 出席會議的梵蒂岡外長加拉格爾發言時，未有提及中國，只是批評西方有人鼓吹性別意識形態，侵犯宗教自由。 教廷為準備延續中梵主教任命協議辯護，強調協議不涉及政治或外交。加拉格爾強調，教廷在所有外交活動中，都強調對話及相互尊重的重要性。…

Pompeo Says Taiwan Has Never Been Part of China, Spokesperson for Taiwan’s President Calls It Undisputed Fact
Speaking about cross-strait issues in a radio interview on 12 November, American time, the US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, said Taiwan is a "model for democracy" and that America’s commitment to Taiwan cuts across party lines, adding that “Taiwan has not been a part of China”. This is a shift from the position taken by the US since it made its three joint communiqués with China in the 1970s and 80s.
Spokesperson of Taiwan’s presidential office, Chang Tun-han, said on the morning of 13 November that he is aware of Pompeo's remarks and that it is an indisputable fact that the Republic of China (ROC) is a sovereign state. He said it has always been Taiwan’s cross-strait and regional policy that the two sides along the Strait should work together to maintain peace and stability in the region on the basis of mutual respect, adding that Taiwan will continue to fulfil its international obligations and contribute to the peace, stability and prosperity of the Taiwan Strait and the region.
