“Chinese President Xi Jinping said that any attempts to split China will fail. He made the remarks in a meeting with Nepali Prime Minister Khadga Prasad Sharma Oli, during his visit to Nepal on 13 October 2019”.
It is a very serious statement by a powerful President of China, a rising superpower of the world. It must be taken as a serious message.
It has been noticed that some mischievous nations are trying to destabilize China and instigating separatists’ movements or agitation and unrest. There is evidence in foreign hands in case of Hong Kong unrest and the Xinjiang issue. Supplying arms to Taiwan and supporting the Independence of Taiwan is also a challenge to the “One China” policy.
China is a nation of several minorities with the majority of Han nationality. All minorities along with Han are living in harmony since ages and respect each other and respect each other’s culture, traditions, habits, and lifestyle. Chinese constitution provides full protection of its minorities.
The Chinese system of governance is very robust and comprehensive. China can resolve its domestic issues. Although, China can opt for use of force to settle minor issues, always hesitate to use force and observe restraint and patience. On the issue of Hong Kong, China has shown maximum flexibility and it is hoped that the resident of Hong Kong will realize soon and will restore the normal routine life.
China believes in basic principles set by the United Nations Charter and abide by them strictly. That is noninterference to other country’s domestic affairs. China never indulged in the domestic issue of any other nation. And expect, other nations will follow a similar policy of non-interference into Chinese affairs. China is a sovereign state and can handle all its issues.
China has developed to a stage where no other countries challenge it. China has surpassed the threshold of foreign conspiracies. China can face any challenge posed to its sovereignty.
The latest statement by China is based on its preparedness to face any challenge. China is a global power and is playing a role to maintain peace and stability in the region and worldwide. China’s development is in all dimensions including economic development, technology development, and defense development. China has modernized its armed forces on similar lines of any advanced country in the world. Chinese Armed Forces are smart and equipped with the latest weaponry systems. The use of high-tech and advanced technologies has made Chinese defense unique. China enjoys and maintains supremacy in many aspects of the defense sector.
Although China does not have any aggressive motives but kept itself ready to face any threat, from any country, any moment and any form. Those who think to compete in China, contain China will not succeed. They are living in the “fool’s paradise”.
China is the second-largest economy and growing at a fast pace. China’s development is in all dimensions and very much sustainable. Those who used to say the Chinese Economy as a “Bubble Economy” were mistaken and proved wrong.
I think the way forward is only to cooperate with China and join the rise of China and maybe beneficiary of China’s rise. China believes in Peace and promotes peace. Those nations who accept China’s rise and become a partner in its course of development will be beneficiary too.
Especially, BRI is a mega initiative of China for promoting Connectivity, Infrastructure, People to People Contact, Trade, Business, Culture and understandings among various nations, and ultimately promoting World Peace, Stability and Prosperity. Those who understand China, are joining BRI and some of the countries are already enjoying the fruits of BRI. Pakistan is the biggest beneficiary of BRI initiatives and managing the Flagship project of “China-Pakistan Economic Corridor” (CPEC). Those who do not understand China, or jealous of China’s achievements and development and are trying to compete with China or trying to counter China and contain China, are mistaken and will be proved wrong. China has already crossed that threshold and emerged a geopolitical power already.
