"When you allow the information of your citizens or the national
security information of your citizens to transit a network that
the Chinese Communist Party has a legal mandate to obtain it
creates risk," Pompeo told reporters.
"I am very confident that our two nations will find a way to
work together to resolve this difference," Pompeo said, adding
that the Five-Eyes intelligence alliance would remain.
