NEW YORK -- In a rare public appearance, Miles Yu, the Chinese-born policy adviser to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, rejected Chinese President Xi Jinping's stand for multilateralism at the United Nations General Assembly and said China had no real friends.
"Shared values -- that's the foundation for multilateralism," Yu said Tuesday in an online discussion on Hong Kong hosted by the Canadian think tank Macdonald-Laurier Institute. He noted that an "alliance of democracies" was forming to counter China's threat, but the same cannot be said for countries rallying around Beijing.
