The Chinese Embassy in Maldives, on Wednesday, criticized "negative comments" made by the United States' Secretary of State Michael Pompeo during his brief official visit.
The Chinese counterparts alleged that, during his trip, US Secretary Pompeo allegedly spread political rumours on China and instigated China-Maldives relationship. "Unilateralism and hegemony pursued by the US is indeed a threat to peaceful and stable international relations", claimed the embassy.
