“蓬佩奥在哪儿?”美外交官连日怒问,他正“一心一意”污蔑中国

美国外交官们连日怒问:“蓬佩奥在哪儿?”

美国有线电视新闻网(CNN)报道称,蓬佩奥“死一般”沉默彻底惹怒了美国外交官们。

“黑人之死”招致的抗议种族歧视活动席卷美国,并在全球多国蔓延。这时候,美国外交官们需要蓬佩奥表态,这直接关系到他们的工作。但消息人士称,到目前为止,蓬佩奥拒绝这样做。

As protests against racial injustice engulf America and spread globally, State Department officials have suggested Secretary of State Mike Pompeo address his workforce on the issue that, in many ways, directly impacts their work. So far, he has declined to do so, explained sources familiar with the suggestion.

关于如何弥合美国基本价值观与政府行动间分歧,外交官们几乎没有获得任何指导。这让派驻海外的美国外交官们面对别国同僚关于美国抗议示威的询问时感到“被抛弃”。

Diplomats have gotten little to no guidance on how to bridge that disconnect between those fundamental American values and the administration’s actions.

Pompeo has been largely silent on the matter – leaving US diplomats at home and overseas feeling abandoned as they face questions about the unrest from their counterparts around the world.

据英国媒体报道,自去年6月香港修例风波以来,蓬佩奥多次出面声援支持游行示威者。“与香港同在”甚至成为了他们的口号之一。

Pompeo has repeatedly voiced his support for Hong Kong’s protesters since unrest erupted in the Asian financial hub last June.

而这次完全不同。

CNN称,蓬佩奥的“失声”,让人开始担心,他将个人政治利益和与总统特朗普的关系置于指导、领导美国务院的工作之前。

Some are fearful that the nation’s top diplomat is putting his personal political interests and his relationship with President Donald Trump ahead of his department’s need for guidance and leadership.

“他像死一般沉默”,一名外交官告诉CNN记者。“没有听到他的消息,真是一个非常尴尬的时刻”,另一名外交官表示 。

“His silence is deafening,” a second US diplomat said of Pompeo. “Not hearing from him makes this a very awkward time,” said a third US diplomat.

美国警方因为20美元假币“跪杀”黑人案,蓬佩奥完全没有发声?那还真是冤枉了蓬佩奥。

蓬佩奥在这儿!近日,蓬佩奥污蔑中国利用美国非裔男子弗洛伊德之死展开虚假宣传等等。

面对如何弥合美国基本价值观与政府行动间分歧根本问题,蓬佩奥避而不谈,面对美国外交官的诉求,蓬佩奥置之不理。荒谬的是,在这个时候,蓬佩奥“一心一意”污蔑中国,还抽空对中国香港问题指手画脚。

看来美国人民的人权并非蓬佩奥关心的,如何污名化中国,才是他的主要功课。

弗洛伊德之死暴露出美国社会系统性种族歧视痼疾,激起全球公愤。包括联合国高官以及美国前四任总统在内的国际人士纷纷发表声明进行谴责;全球多地举行示威活动对美国种族主义惨剧表示强烈控诉。

不管是出于无奈,狗急跳墙,还是故意搅浑水,居心叵测,蓬佩奥胡编乱造抹黑中国都不能解决美国自己的根本问题。
