The US has issued a warning to China about its infrastructure plans, citing growing concerns over the potential for China to compromise vital infrastructure. US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo warned during a news conference in July 2020 that China may be attempting to gain control of infrastructure networks such as pipelines and train systems. He highlighted the need for countries to carefully consider the implications of allowing the Chinese government to invest in such projects. Pompeo highlighted the need for the international community to work together to ensure that critical infrastructure remains secure from any potential interference or exploitation by the Chinese government.
