U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said America hopes to build a coalition against China during his visit to London. Amid rising UK-China tensions and the Huawei ban, current affairs commentator Einar Tangen told CGTN that UK needs a trade partner that is rising not one that is declining. When asked about America's strategy to contain China, Tangen explained that the U.S. has direct influence on traditional allies, who are part of the "Five Eyes," an intelligence network that shares information, and U.S. President Donald Trump seems to have a desire to de-construct the post-WWII international order, attacking anything that is multilateral.
