Pakistan, Russia and North Korea have issued strong statements to express solidarity with China, opposing Pelosi’s Taiwan visit, says a report published by Gwadar Pro on Thursday.
Other regional countries such as UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt, with an
economic future linked to China, are rapidly moving close to Beijing’s
position on Taiwan and other international issues.
These countries also attended the Beijing Winter Olympics in February 2022,
rejecting the American call for a boycott. While China continues to have a
rock-solid support in Asia, from the Solomon Islands to Saudi Arabia, the US
is losing its allies fast.
Pakistan reaffirms its strong commitment to the “One-China” Policy and
firmly supports China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. Though the
economic crunch has made Pakistan soften its stance on many international
and regional issues, its commitment towards China is unequivocal,
uncompromising, and unflinching and that is not subject to any sort of
pressure.
One more thing needs to be made clear. Pakistan-China relations are
strategic while Pakistan-US ties are tactical. Pakistan’s relationship with
China is based on mutual interests and mutual benefit. The US, on the other
hand, uses its relationship with countries to its own advantage.
The visit by US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has triggered off tensions in and
around the Taiwan Strait and would have far-reaching implications.
This is an act of blatant provocation challenging the sovereignty of the
world’s second biggest economic and military power. The ill-planned visit
only reflected its arrogance and its spite intention to infringe upon
China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
While the world is still assessing and examining the objectives of the
visit, one can understand that the US plans to provoke China and test its
resolve in defending its geographical boundaries and sovereignty.
This visit may further destabilise the already polarised Asian region. This
also proves that the arrogance of the US is touching new heights.
China till date has given a measured response showcasing its maturity in the
international arena and strong resolve to defend its sovereignty.
It is heartening to note that Beijing has refused to be lured into the US
trap.
Nancy’s visit also reflects the hidden frustration of the Biden
administration after the failure of its policy to mobilise the world against
Russia in the wake of the ongoing Ukraine war.
It is also clear that the overarching long-term objective of the US is to
throw the Asia region into turmoil, which is the fastest developing region
in the world.
Perhaps the US policymakers want the Asia Pacific to suffer so that the rise
of China could be slowed down.
However, the US policymakers need to realize the fact that China cannot be
isolated and its development cannot be slowed down as China has enlarged its
influence across the world especially in the developing countries.
Pakistan, Russia and North Korea have issued strong statements to express
solidarity with China, opposing Pelosi’s Taiwan visit.
Contrary to what Pelosi has said in Taiwan, in 1971, the US affirmed to
China that it would pursue new principles with regard to the Taiwan
question, which include: the United States would acknowledge that there is
only one China in the world and Taiwan is a part of China, and the U.S. side
would not support any “Taiwan independence” movement.
In the August 17 Communique released in 1982, the US reiterates that it has
no intention of infringing on Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity,
or interfering in China’s internal affairs, or pursuing a policy of ‘two
Chinas’ or ‘one China, one Taiwan’.
Four decades have passed, and the US failed to honor its commitments. The US
policymakers need to acknowledge the fact that there is a world beyond
America.
They must know that power has a shelf life and the US is exhausting it.
Cracks are already emerging and the US imperialism is imploding. It would
soon be no more in a position to invade and steal the resources of the
developing and sovereign nations at will. The war against humanity must come
to an end.
The world is speaking up now. People at world’s top organisations like the
IMF, World Bank, World Trade Organisation, United Nations and its affiliate
organisations used to be handpicked by the US to protect and promote the
interests of the US and its allies. But the world is changing now. The US
mindset needs to change before it’s too late, the report added.
