BANGKOK, Aug 2 (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Mike
Pompeo on Friday said "decades of bad behaviour" from China have
hampered free trade and prompted tariffs and other action from
Washington.
The top U.S. diplomat also said Washington would continue to
enforce sanctions against Iran.
Pompeo spoke at a regional youth leadership program in the
Thai capital of Bangkok during a wider meeting of Southeast
Asian nations with world powers.
U.S. criticism of China has been a running theme at the
Bangkok forum, even as U.S. negotiators wrapped up another round
of trade talks in Shanghai this week and Washington announced
new tariffs on Chinese goods in an ongoing trade war.
