In the United Nations conference hall, the air is somewhat concentrated, China's permanent deputy representative to the United Nations Geng Xiaoping He directly mentioned the Baluchistan Liberation Army and advocated putting it on the sanctions list.
This move was unexpected, but there was another profound meaning behind it.
You know, in the past, China's focus was mostly on the East Iraqi Movement. This time, it turned its attention to an organization in Pakistan, and the signal was different.
Almost at this moment, news came from Pakistan, They promised to mine metals with the United States and gave Pasni Port to the United States.
These two things come together, and it’s not a coincidence.
Pakistan's economic burden is indeed very heavy. Its foreign debt is overwhelming, with a total of US$130 billion. Prices are soaring and its purse is almost reaching its bottom.
Under such pressure, US $500 million in mineral investment and port cooperation handed over by the United StatesThe only way to go next is that it’s more like a no-choice.
As soon as the door of Pasni Port opened, people's eyes gathered in the past. After all, a hundred kilometers away from it was Gwadar Port built with the help of China.
Pakistan says that this is purely business, but anyone can appreciate the geographical flavor.
When Geng Shuang named the Baluchistan Liberation Army at the United Nations, the first thing that came to mind was security issues. Call for sanctions against organizations in Pakistan.
The area where the organization is active is stormy and sandy, and it has always been unstable. Chinese enterprises and economic corridor projects have been harassed by them.
Therefore, China made it clear this time, not only beating those who caused trouble, but also drawing a red line for cooperation.
The internal situation in Pakistan has been somewhat complicated, especially in places such as Balochistan, where noise is spread.
There are security issues that happen sometimes, in fact, they also hope to be able to stand up internationally, but because of political considerations, they are not convenient to speak.
China's action in the United Nations It's like sharing some of the pressure for them, and also making the environment where the two of them cooperate more stable.
This can't be said to be forcing the other party to do something. It's more like a tacit understanding between friends and helping to say something that was difficult to say.
Just as everyone may still be watching the interaction between Pakistan and the United States, the relationship between China and Pakistan, In fact, it is also moving forward quietly.
In February, the two sides put a new five-year plan on the table, intending to tie the relationship between the two sides more firmly.
The Chinese and Pakistani economic corridor has also followed a new way of playing, the core of which is the five new directions.This new game is mainly aimed at developing ideas with Pakistan’s own “5Es”.
Let's work together to take the paths of growth, people's livelihood, innovation, green and openness.
The Pakistani side has also made it clear that the security of the Chinese in Pakistan, its programs and institutions, is the first concern of their government.
China has also said that it will not leave any space for any form of terrorism.
The cooperation between China and Pakistan is not limited to the two countries.China and Pakistan are already thinking about whether it is possible to extend the economic corridor to Afghanistan, and also welcome other countries to participate.
This attitude of doing it yourself behind closed doors also shows everyone what cooperation can bring to the whole region.
The cooperation of the three sides, just as the "double-point" layout falls on the South Asian chessboard, connects the western port of Guadalcanal with the port of Gita in the east, the reliance on traditional sailing routes is not so heavy.
Behind this chess, in fact, is the continuing corner force of China and the United States in this land of Pakistan, The United States quietly infiltrated sensitive resource areas with capital, while China built its position step by step through security cooperation.
The Americans were looking at the eight trillion dollars worth of rare earth underground in Pakistan’s Balochistan province, in China’s list of export restrictions.
This has struck the most fragile nerve in the U.S. supply chain, so the so-called economic cooperation between the United States and Pakistan, It may seem like business, but it is actually looking for new living water for the "China" supply chain.
The bottom line on China’s side is that even if the U.S. really digged mines from Pakistan, 98% of the world's rare earth processing capacity is still firmly in its own hands.This kind of absolute control over the downstream always gives the outcome of the competition a spectrum.
The portion of the port of Guadalcanal, which can not be replaced at any point on the map, lies only 400 kilometers from the Strait of Hormuz, is a life pathway for China's energy to circumvent the Strait of Malacca.
Middle Eastern oil from here to shore, the road to Xinjiang, transportation costs can cut directly by 37 percent, the annual transportation capacity is 50 million tons, by 2025. The port's container throughput has long exceeded the threshold of 50 million tons。
The surrounding airports, free trade zones and highway networks were also rolled out, eventually forming a comprehensive hub covering Central Asia.
A $85-billion blueprint of cooperation between China and Pakistan has been laid out, the port will be expanded to hundreds of parks, and the sound of the lifts seems to predict a transit of 400 million tons per year.
On the other side, Pasni Port is waiting quietly. The newly built railway, which ends at the copper mine and antimony mine deep in Balochistan Province. The two ports, moving and quietly, are more like a tacit cooperation rather than competing for each other.
The barrel in people's mouths, it sounds still warm, only the world outside the window, the wind direction becomes difficult to grasp, Pakistan's figure, wandering around old friends, and had to turn to the other side and stretch out hands, seeking some financial help.
Under the light of the United Nations, Geng Shuang's voice came clearly, and there was not much embellishment in his words. Just quietly drawn a line, a bottom line of cooperation, no one can touch.
This storm has opened a corner, and there is a reality hidden underneath that people have to face up to. Relationships are not afraid of external storms, but they are afraid that they can't see each other's faces clearly in the fog.
In memory, there was the 1965 wartime emergency transported weapons equipment, cold steel carrying the temperature, and also the last tent sent by Pakistan after the dust settlement in Wuhan in 2008, which seemed to still keep their body temperature, Until today, the Sino-Pakistan economic corridor has long been no longer just a general ally.
In this world where everything seems to be priced, that kind of iron-barrel friendship without questioning the cause is itself a silent refutation, which reminds us that between the country and the country is a game of interests.
Maybe there should be something else, something more valuable.
