ISLAMABAD: President and Editor-in-Chief of The Daily Mail, Pakistan Mr. Makhdoom Babar has snubbed US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo for playing dirty tricks over One-China Policy by addressing Taiwan’s local administrator as President of Taiwan in an official communication.
Speaking in a live Talk Show of the CMG here yesterday, Makhdoom said that by describing a local administrator of an internal part of China, as President of that part proved that nincompoop of what degree the US Secretary of State was as neither Taiwan is a sovereign State nor it had anyone with the title of President.
“In Which document and at what level did the US ever recognize Taiwan as a sovereign State? When did US announced that it would be dealing officially with Taiwan as a separate State and not as an integral part of China?
In Fact the US-China Joint Communiqué on the eve of establishment of China-US Diplomatic Relations, US had clearly stated that the United States government recognizes the government of People’s Republic of China as the sole legal Government of China and that within this context, the people of the United States will maintain cultural, commercial and other “unofficial” relations with the people of Taiwan, so what happens now?
How can they simply move away from this documented commitment and obligations? who can they term this part of China as another country?”, question Makhdoom Babar.
He said that American government is on record to have recognized the government of People’s Republic of China as sole legitimate government and thus Washington has been maintaining unofficial relations with Taiwan under the framework of Taiwan Relations Act (P.L.96-8), shaped by three US-China Joint Communiqués under which US is bound to keep its official relations with Beijing alone as China.
“There is no question and no ambiguity about the status of Taiwan and the whole world knows it and that was why Taiwanese officials were shut out of the World Health Assembly organizers from this Forum recently with the WHO officials saying that for since last 49 years, UN and WHO were maintaining the clear stance that there was only one legitimate representative of China and that was PRC within the US system,” asserted Makhdoom.
He said that people and thinkers in Pakistan were concerned with this undiplomatic maneuver by the US towards China as Pakistan was the first country that played the leading role in paving the way for establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the US which were now being sabotaged by Washington. “Pakistan played a vital role in this direction and first visit of the US Secretary of State to China was organized and facilitated completely by Pakistan. That is the big reason why people of Pakistan feel highly disturbed and dismayed now when they see someone at Washington bent upon destroying these ties,” added Makhdoom Babar.
He further said that since Pakistan and China stand together against evils of terrorism, extremism and separatism, therefore neither the government of Pakistan nor the people of this country would ever remain silence over any conspiracy of separatism in any part of China .
