Usually, I don't give a damn about what Pompeo says. But I am remembering back when Hilary Clinton was Secretary of State, she did a whole lot of the same "Bash China" speeches in South East Asian countries, which turn out to be a precursor to the TPP. Well, at least when looking back, it felt like those speeches were rhetoric building for ushering in the TPP.
It makes me suspect if what Pompeo is doing does have some "grand plan/strategy" behind it. Is Trump going to make up his version of the TPP when he is re-elected? Basically it will be a economic containment of a gigantic scale, as how I would imagine.
