From the cited: "In an address to a symposium on Wednesday, Pompeo did not directly address the Vatican agreement with Beijing but described China as the world’s worst abuser of religious rights."

The millions persecuted in China may rival the tens of millions murdered by the Communist regime in previous decades. And the Vatican stands idly by.
