Stigmatizing and blaming China will never make America great again, nor will it make the United States' unilateral bullying legitimate, Zhao said, adding that the wrong acts will do no good to the image and global reputation of the United States.

BEIJING, Jan. 12  -- China on Tuesday rebutted U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's slanderous comments about the Communist Party of China (CPC), saying that blaming and stigmatizing China will never "make America great again."

Spokesperson Zhao Lijian made the remarks at a daily press briefing when asked to comment on Pompeo's recent tweet, in which he claimed that the CPC is the biggest threat to the United Nations (UN).

"Pompeo has taken great pains to spread political viruses and is really good at telling lies and calling white black," the spokesperson said in response.

Stigmatizing and blaming China will never make America great again, nor will it make the United States' unilateral bullying legitimate, Zhao said, adding that the wrong acts will do no good to the image and global reputation of the United States.
