INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
TEHRAN-- Professor Hongda Fan thinks that Washington is fretted that the United States worldwide status will be changed by China and
therefore adopts a confrontational position versus Beijing.Tensions in between the US and China over the self-ruled island of Taiwan
magnified following a provocative check out there in August by Nancy Pelosi, speaker of the US House of Representatives
It triggered large-scale Chinese military drills around the island area as well as a declaration by United States President Joe Biden to
defend Taiwan.Her visit exasperated China, which has sovereignty over the self-ruled Chinese Taipei and has actually publicly stated that it
might take it by force one day, if necessary.Under the one China policy, almost all nations across the globe, the United States consisted
of, acknowledge Beijings sovereignty over Chinese Taipei
Washington, however, taken part in direct contact with the secessionist government in Taipei, in infraction of its own stated policy
The US also provides Taipei with enormous amounts of armaments.Recently, General Mike Minihan, head of Air Mobility Command, sent a memo to
the officers he commands that forecasts the United States will be at war with China in 2 years and informs them to prepare yourself by
shooting a clip at a target, and go for the head
Minihan stated, I hope I am wrong
My gut tells me will combat in 2025
To clarify the issue, we connected to Hongda Fan, a professor at the Middle East Studies Institute of Shanghai International Studies
University.Following is the complete text of the interview with him: Dont you think that this is simply the pointer of the iceberg and the
United States has actually planned far more for China?Frankly speaking, the relationship between the United States and China has actually
been difficult because the Trump administration
In the last few years, these 2 countries with the most international impact remain in a fairly apparent conflict
I think Washington has quite a few strategies for China.We currently see that the US policy in Ukraine has actually cost so much for the
world economy and people, especially in poor countries
Can such a position towards a big economy and military power like China even leave a much more negative effect on people of the world? There
is no doubt that if the United States takes major offending actions versus China, it will have serious negative effects on the whole world
The people of the world, consisting of Americans, will suffer as an outcome
A fight between the worlds 2 largest economies will inevitably impact many countries.From time to time, we hear about possible beginning of
WWIII, do you see any possibility for it?As a pacifist, I definitely hate war
I dont believe World War III is imminent if the decision-makers of the world powers put the interests of their people
There are undoubtedly lots of contradictions in the current global neighborhood, however there are also numerous factors that limit the
outbreak of war.It appears that the United States has actually selected conflict instead of competition with its significant rivals
Do not you think so? If yes, how harmful is such a policy for world security and stability?From the point of view of world history and the
history of international relations, competitors is the typical state of relations in between world powers
To a large extent, healthy competitors among world powers is one of the factors for world development
Given that becoming the primary power in the world, the United States believes that it has not come across the obstacle of a country as
Washington is fretted that the United States global status will be replaced by China and thus embraces a confrontational position versus
As the previous few years have actually demonstrated, a U.S.-China fight can have serious negative repercussions for the global community
The United States should take a look at the development of other nations more rationally
Rather of stressing over its worldwide status being replaced, it is much better to do more things that benefit the people of its own country
Such a nation is most likely to be recognized and applauded by the worldwide community
