Interesting thread. Some comments. First, it's pretty incredible that two pro-China media were able to run stories discrediting Pompeo almost simultaneously based on leaked presumably highly confidential documents from two different Taiwan government agencies.
Scandals leaking from Pompeo's Taiwan visit: one leak shows that TECRO paid him $150,000 for his visit, the second showing he had a major investment agenda on behalf of a company called Anarock👀
