KCNA: "Pompeo ought not to have such a pipe dream of undermining the Communist Party and socialism on their long victorious drive as what the successive rulers of the U.S. dreamt."
KCNA: "Demonstrators enraged by the extreme racists throng even to the White House. This is the reality in the U.S. today. American liberalism and democracy put the cap of leftist on the demonstrators and threaten to unleash even dogs for suppression."
KCNA: "He said that the Communist Party today is different from the one a decade ago, which shows his acknowledgement of socialism getting stronger under the guidance of the Communist Party and that he is nervous over the plight of the U.S. on the downhill side."
KCNA: "Pompeo, who has been deeply engrossed in espionage and plot-breeding against other countries, has become too ignorant to discern where the sun rises and where it sets."
KCNA: "It is not the first time that he said nonsense about China over the issues of Hong Kong, Taiwan, human rights and trade disputes. What should not be overlooked here is that he slandered the leadership of the Communist Party of China (CPC) over socialism."
KCNA: "Brandingthe Communist Party as a dictatorship destroying the Western style idea, democracy and view on value, he cried out for building the worldfree from the rule by the CPC. His nonsensical remarks indicate the intention to do the same thing to socialism in the DPRK"
KCNA: "U.S. State Secretary Pompeotermed China an actual threat. Saying that threat from China stems fromthe Communist Party, he reeled off rubbish that the U.S. would workto make the world of the next century the one of the West where the U.S. 'liberal democracy' rules."
