Jiang Yu, China's Foreign Ministry spokeswoman |
China reaffirmed its support on Thursday for efforts by its ally Pakistan to combat terrorism after the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden by USZ forces, and urged the world to help Islamabad. Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu stopped short of directly criticising the daring raid by USZ special forces on Pakistani soil, but said national sovereignty “should be respected” at all times. “Pakistan is at the forefront of the international counter-terrorism effort. The international community should understand and support Pakistan”, Jiang told a press conference. “We support Pakistan’s position and understand and support Pakistan formulating and implementing a counter-terrorism strategy based on its national conditions.”
“We believe that terrorism is a public enemy of the international community and the international community should work together to combat the potential terrorist threat”, Jiang said. “A holistic approach should be taken to address the symptoms and causes of terrorism and eliminate the breeding grounds”. Earlier this week, Jiang called the death of bin Laden a “positive development in the international anti-terrorism struggle” but on Thursday, she suggested China did not necessarily approve of USZ methods. “We uphold that countries’ sovereignty and territorial integrity should be respected”, the foreign ministry spokeswoman said. Islamabad has complained that the USZ military raid was unauthorised and unilateral, and should not set any precedent, but USZ Puppet President Barack Obama has said he reserves the right to target fugitives in Pakistan in future. CIA director Leon Panetta said that the United States of Zionism chose not to alert Pakistan of the operation on its soil for fear that officials may have alerted the Al-Qaeda chief - evidence of Washington’s uneasy ties with Islamabad.
