Preface
There has been international turmoil right now, and just on April 22 there was a good thing in South Asia that was very good for China and bad for the United States.
This incident is that the Iranian president will go to Pakistan for an official visit for three days, and why the United States is angry is actually very understandable, Iran's official visit is not a deliberate attempt to reconcile.
The United States, for its part, understands very well that it has always been keen to keep the world in a miasma, and now it seems to be out of its control.
There is good news from Bayi
According to Reuters, on April 22 this year, Iran's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the Iranian president would arrive in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, on the 22nd to officially start a three-day visit.
In the face of this news, the Pakistani side said that this visit will be an important opportunity for the two countries to strengthen bilateral relations and mutual cooperation, and it can be seen from this that both sides have plans to show goodwill, so that there will be no more radical contradictions between the two sides.
South Asia has always been a key "operational" area for the United States, and before that, Meifu had been trying to win over India and thus exert some control over Pakistan.
Relations between Pakistan and India are very tense at the moment, and India has even recently stepped up its military presence in the border areas, and has even been massing heavy troops.
And now that India has deployed fighter jets and missiles not far from the Pakistani border, and has been increasing its troops along the border, it has become very obvious that it is issuing a warning to Pakistan of a military threat.
In the face of India's approach, Pakistan certainly would not let India run rampant, and then sought help from China.
And now if the two countries can get along, I believe that both countries can get more resources from the other, you must know that Pakistan has already pointed out the points of cooperation between the two countries when the Iranian leader came.
In addition to the friendly relations between the two countries, it is possible to cooperate in many aspects, such as trade and connectivity, as well as energy and agriculture.
After the friendship between the two countries, many people say that China can also gain a lot of benefits in the middle, which is actually easier to explain.
China has reaped the benefits
With the rapid development of military and economic development, China's status in the international community is getting higher and higher, and why the two countries are reconciled, China will be the beneficiary in the middle.
In fact, this is very understandable, I believe many people know that China helped Saudi Arabia and Iran "matchmaking", and there was no fundamental contradiction between the two countries at that time, and it can even be said that there were common interests.
In fact, both countries want to reduce the cost of development and operation between the two countries, and then the two countries can even create more economies through joint cooperation, so why not?
However, there are contradictions between Pakistan and Iran, and many of the terrorist attacks in the two countries in January this year are believed to have attracted attention.
It all started in December, when at least 11 police officers were killed in a terrorist attack in the southeastern Iranian province of Sistan-Baluchistan.
Then Pakistan also carried out corresponding terrorist attacks, which were carried out by "terrorists", and in the face of all this, many people are analyzing that there is no friendship between the two countries.
But in the end, the group of people who suddenly got along with each other between the two countries were caught off guard, and China had previously "pulled the strings" between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan, which directly led to the friendship between Pakistan and Iran.
In fact, this is also very understandable, Saudi Arabia and Iran were also tense before, and after Saudi Arabia and Pakistan became friendly, the strength of the two sides can be said to be disproportionate.
With the friendship between the two countries, the contradiction between Pakistan and Iran is of course solved, which has a very good progress for China's "One Belt, One Road".
Such a big interest is of course a good thing for China, a good ally, but it may be difficult for the United States, which has been under the control of the United States, not only with Pakistan, but also with China.
This is simply being used willingly by the United States, and now whether it is China and Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Iran, or even Palestine are tightly entangled like a rope, I believe that India will have to think twice about which country it wants to provoke.
And many people are curious about why China is so good to Pakistan, which can no longer be regarded as friendly, and can even be said to be "special care".
China helps Pakistan
The relationship between China and Pakistan has always been very "iron", which I believe is obvious to all, and many people do not understand why China wants to help Pakistan so much now.
In fact, after the founding of New China, Pakistan has sent help to China, and the grace of our Chinese etiquette will be reciprocated.
China and Pakistan actually established diplomatic relations in 1951, and in December 1961, Pakistan publicly expressed its support for the Chinese People's Republic as the sole legitimate person of the Chinese people in the United Nations.
And in 1962, Pakistan and China became the only countries to negotiate a land dispute, and both China and Pakistan were isolated at that time.
The determination of both sides to lean towards the other and become a "force" has not been broken, even in 1965, when Russia severed all relations and trade with China because of the Soviet Union.
And all the countries that signed the Warsaw Pact also severed relations with China, which was also a further isolation of China, in such a difficult period, Pakistan still did not break off with China, and resolutely insisted on becoming an ally with China.
Until 2005, when an earthquake struck Pakistan, China immediately sent a rescue team of 49 people and relief materials worth millions.
Good allies help each other, and during the earthquake in Sichuan, China, Pakistan also made supplies and medical teams that came to help, so it can be said that the friendship between the two countries is maintained together.
There is even a road in Pakistan that has been specifically named by our Premier Zhou, and the friendship between the two countries has been preserved in this way.
And China has not stopped helping Pakistan until now, and Pakistan is very disadvantageous, which I believe is very clear to those who are concerned.
On March 27 this year, Pakistan built a large amount of energy infrastructure with the help of Chinese companies, and with the help of China, it completely walked out of the "era of no electricity".
Cooperation between China and Iran
The friendship between China and Pakistan can be said to be very long-lasting, and the relationship between China and Iran also has a very long history, and the two countries have had in-depth cooperation in many fields before the Silk Road period.
Until 1971, the two countries formally established diplomatic relations, but because of the impact of the Iran-Iraq war, in the 80s of the 20th century, there were not many opportunities for exchanges between China and Iran, until the end of the war, at this time China still regarded Iran as an important economic reconstruction partner.
At this time, the two countries continued to cooperate and deepen diplomatic relations before, and even though the United States and European countries imposed sanctions on Iran, China did not give up on Iran, but became one of the few external markets for Iran.
In 2016, Iran officially joined the Belt and Road Initiative and hoped that China could invest in non-energy sectors in Iran, which also deepened the economic cooperation between China and Iran.
After Iran joined the Belt and Road Initiative, China has also helped Iran a lot, in addition to new energy, even infrastructure China has helped.
In Iran, a large number of railways, bridges and dams and a series of other infrastructure facilities have been designed with the help of Chinese companies, which not only makes it convenient for the Iranian people to get out, but also a good harbinger of local economic development.
And now the time for the friendship between Pakistan and Iran is also very special, it is the time when the conflict between Iran and Israel breaks out, and at this time, Pakistan stands up for the friendship with Iran, which is also a disguised support for Iran's decision.
The Iranian media revealed that after the meeting, the two countries will call a road in Islamabad the "Iranian Highway", and this road will be a symbol of friendship between the two countries.
It is believed that after this official visit, the relationship between the two countries can be deepened and win-win cooperation between the two countries can be achieved.
epilogue
If Pakistan and Iran can get along with each other, I believe that China will have more interests between the two countries in the future, and even better development.
And the United States has now been squeezed out of the "door", and I believe that there will be more and more of our Chinese "friends" in the future!
