[Reporter Fang Weijie / Kaohsiung Report] Former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo called on Taiwanese businessmen and related companies to "think twice about investing in China" during the focus of the first Global Taiwan Business Forum today. He believes that China will live up to the Environmental responsibility, "doesn't want net zero carbon emissions at all".

At present, the mainstream trend in the world is to protect the environment and make good use of resources. Pompeo said that Taiwan and the United States are determined in this regard. Among all countries that cause environmental pollution, China is the least sensitive country in this field. As a result, many companies around the world have begun to reconsider investing in China, and you must think twice before going to China for development.

Pompeo said that everyone gathered this time to hear the development practices of Taiwanese business leaders in the United States and other countries, including their respective products, supply chains, and countermeasures that are beneficial to the environment. He hopes not to underestimate the importance of these things. Global efforts must be active in order to benefit the prospects.

Pompeo recalled that when he came to Taiwan for the first time after leaving office, he mainly met with government officials including President Tsai Ing-wen, and shared his views on the relationship between Taiwan and the United States, as well as what can be mutually beneficial and helpful between the two countries. "I'm in the south now, and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what's going on in southern Taiwan and meeting the leaders who lead big global companies."

Pompeo reiterated his belief that the people of Taiwan have the right to defend democracy and freedom. "This is a very noble thing, and it will be a very important thing for decades to come."
