China Urges US to Abandon 'Zero-Sum Mindset' As Pompeo Speaks About Beijing’s 'Threat' - FarsNews Agency

Speaking to reporters in Beijing, Chinese Foreign Ministry Spokesman Wang Wenbin urged the US state secretary “to abandon his ‘Cold War mentality’, zero-sum mindset, and stop harping on the ‘China threat’”, Sputnik reported.

Pompeo’s statement came shortly before he and US Defence Secretary Mark Esper held strategic talks with Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Tuesday.

"There is much more work to do for sure. We have a lot to discuss today: Our co-operation on the pandemic that originated in Wuhan, to confronting the Chinese Communist Party’s threats to security and freedom to promoting peace and stability throughout the region”, Pompeo said before negotiations were launched.

During the talks, India and the US moved to sign a major information-sharing deal called Basic Exchange and Co-operation Agreement (BECA), allowing New Delhi to have access to critical geo-spatial data and real-time images from American satellites.
