Why is Pakistan's former chief Musharraf an iron brother to China, why would he go from an iron-fisted president to a fugitive on death row for "treason" Why is he so friendly to China? Why was he sentenced to death? Born in England in 1943, Musharraf immigrated to Pakistan with his parents at the age of four, and over time his father became a Pakistani diplomat, and from that time on, his life was greatly affected.
When he became an adult, he chose to apply for the Army Academy in Pakistan, and after graduating from university, he became an artillery officer, and at that time he basically never returned home, because it happened that Pakistan and India were in conflict, and later Musharraf also found time to go back to visit his parents, and once again he had just returned home and did not say a few words to his parents, so he was called back by the troops. Because of the tense international situation at that time, he threw himself into the war shortly after he returned, and he knew that defending his family and defending the country was a kind of responsibility of his own, and when he was on the battlefield, he bravely killed the enemy, made great contributions to the country, and won many awards.
He was then invited by the British to study in their country, in addition to serving as a teacher at the Pakistan Defence Academy, and in the course of his studies, he was awarded the Medal of Honor several times, and later the position of general, and his contribution to the country can be described as very large. It was precisely because of his outstanding ability that he was subsequently appreciated by Prime Minister Sharif, Musharraf was a man who would not please others because of the magnates, and Sharif appreciated him very much at that time, and soon Musharraf became the right and left hand of the prime minister. But things did not go so smoothly, and later at the symposium, Prime Minister Sharif made a proposal to establish a national security council in the country, mainly responsible for the country's national defense and security affairs, at that time Musharraf directly opposed prime minister Sharif's idea, and then replaced all the generals in the army who agreed to this practice, and Musharraf's behavior completely angered Prime Minister Sharif.
Later, in 1999, Sharif ordered Musharraf to be removed from his post, knowing that Musharraf was visiting Sri Lanka at the time, and Sharif did not inform him at all. It can be said that the whole people of Pakistan knew about this matter at that time, only Musharraf himself did not know about this matter, when he flew back to Pakistan, he was told by the people here that he could not land, which became a big problem, to know that there was not much fuel on the plane at that time, in order to get out of this dangerous situation, Musharraf let his men tie up Sharif, which landed safely on the mainland in a critical moment. It was then that Musharraf staged a coup d'état. Sharif was sentenced to life in prison for attempted murder, and later in 2000, Sharif was released into exile in another country, where the people of the country celebrated the ceremony and said they would be happy.
At this time, Musharraf began his own political path, he first dissolved the Sharif government and parliament, and then in 2001, Musharraf became the president of Pakistan, and the first thing he did after becoming president was to revise the domestic constitutional system, and he attached great importance to the issue of official corruption. In addition to allowing the people to report to their superiors, he also ordered that the people be allowed to participate in the presidential elections of the country, which is also a reason for his continuous succession. When the Wenchuan earthquake occurred in China in 2008, Musharraf personally came to the Chinese Embassy in Pakistan after learning the news and said that we would provide anything that China needed.
When Musharraf uttered these words, he had already shown his friendliness toward China. Later, Pakistan supported more than 20,000 tents for our country, and it is reported that at that time, Pakistan basically gave all its domestic resources to China. To know that Pakistan's economy is not particularly rich, this support is a very large expense for them, but Musharraf said a sentence that is very touching, he said" "These aid is not measured in money, when the Chinese brothers helped us before, did they have money with us" Not only that, he also specially mobilized his own private plane, in order to allow the plane to load more support materials, Musharraf also removed his own special seat.
Later, when the Pakistani personnel came to deliver supplies to our country, our country was in respect and gave them good treatment, but they refused to go, they thought that they had come to support China, not to cause trouble for China, saying that as long as there was saliva to drink. One of the Pakistani personnel said in an interview with the media that they were very willing to help Chinese, bearing in mind that Chinese did not hesitate to help them in their critical moments. After the Second India-Pakistan War, the United States began to stand against Pakistan in order to win over the country of India. And it also uses various pretexts to suppress Pakistan's weapons and equipment, while India has bought a lot of advanced weapons in the market. At that time, Pakistan's international status was greatly suppressed. And just when Pakistan was in a difficult time, my country helped them get through it. Subsequently, Pakistan added a law named "Crime of Undermining Sino-Pakistani Friendship". And when the Olympic Games were held in Beijing, Musharraf also greeted the torch, and then walked the torch to the finish line.
And in the process of transmission, a very high level of ceremony was practiced, which is very respectful to our country. Later, some people from china's top level also visited Pakistan, and the feelings between the two countries were very friendly. However, Musharraf ushered in the first turning point in his life in 2008, when Musharraf resigned as chief of staff of the army, arguably only a fictitious position, without any military power or troops. At that time, Musharraf's opposition began to think carefully, trying to impeach Musharraf, and later for a series of reasons, Musharraf resigned as president and went to Britain.
After going to Britain, he established the all-Pakistan "Muslim League" in London and said that he would return to Pakistan to continue to run for the presidency and become the new president of Pakistan. But it didn't seem to go so smoothly. In 2011, the court launched an arrest warrant against Musharraf, and soon Musharraf was brought back to Pakistan, after returning to the country, many people began to charge Musharraf, at this time Musharraf did not have any quick way to help himself get out, he could only try to defend himself, fortunately, because of the lack of evidence on the other side, finally Musharraf was released, and then Musharraf returned to the United Kingdom again, after years of hard work and development and learning, Musharraf decided to return to Pakistan in 2013 to run for president.
But at this time, the Pakistani government spread the news that as soon as it saw Musharraf return to Pakistan, it would order people to arrest him, but this news Musharraf did not know. He still chose to return to Pakistan for presidential election, at that time Musharraf had been in exile for more than four years, and on the same day, Musharraf had just got off the plane to return to Pakistan, and was taken away by more than a dozen cars, which can be said to be not to give him the opportunity to communicate with anyone in the outside world.
At that time, Musharraf actually had his own plans, wanted to make a political speech after getting off the plane, and then go to the tomb of the Father of the Nation to give a speech, but the political figures on the Pakistani side, citing the fact that Musharraf was facing a "serious security threat" as a reason, deprived him of all the opportunities to speak to the outside world, saying that it was mainly to protect security, in fact, he had Musharraf detained. And Musharraf was threatened by the Taliban the day before he returned home, and they told Musharraf that if he returned to China, he would face assassination, but for the threat of the Taliban, Musharraf was not afraid at all, but returned to Pakistan alone for the presidential election, but unfortunately Musharraf returned to Pakistan this time, like stepping into a dark hut, and there was no light to speak of.
A few days after returning home, Musharraf was arrested again by the Pakistani government. Later, during the trial, Musharraf was sentenced to death. He was the first former president ever to be indicted. However, the military did not want to see the previous president imprisoned like this, and under the influence of a series of circumstances, Pakistan granted an amnesty to Musharraf, who has been in exile ever since, and in the second half of 2013, the court pardoned Musharraf for the crime of house arrest. He was later exiled to Dubai, but it wasn't long before Musharraf's body couldn't stand it anymore and he handed an article to his country, Pakistan, saying he wanted to return to his country for medical treatment. You must know that Musharraf is 70 years old at this time, and there will be some physical problems.
At this time, many netizens believe that Musharraf should be able to enjoy his old age in peace, but in 2019, Musharraf was charged with "treason" and finally sentenced to death. Musharraf has made a lot of contributions in his life, but also a legendary figure, he perfectly promoted the friendly relations between China and Pakistan when he was in office, although I don't know what the contradictions within Pakistan are, but I have to say that Musharraf is very friendly to China, of course, the relations between the two countries are also very friendly. I hope that on the road ahead, the relations between the two countries will get better and better.
