US, China Clash Over 'Belt And Road' In Afghan Resolution

 

he United States and China unleashed a war of words Friday (Mar 15) over Beijingโ€™s $1 trillion Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) after the United Nation Security Council adopted a resolution extending the mandate of the council's political mission in Afghanistan for another six months, reported The Washington Post.

 

The 2018 resolution extended the council's mission for a year aimed at strengthening regional economic cooperation involving Afghanistan, including the BRI to connect China to Europe, and Africa. The 2016 and 2017 resolutions had similar BRI language.

 

Council diplomats said China wanted to embed BRI language into the 2019 resolution, but the U.S. strongly objected.

 

U.S. deputy ambassador Jonathan Cohen said that โ€œChina held the resolution hostage and insisted on making it about Chinese national political priorities rather than the people of Afghanistan.โ€

Cohen said the U.S. rejected Chinaโ€™s demand โ€œthat the resolution highlights its belt and road initiative, despite its tenuous ties to Afghanistan and known problems with corruption, debt distress, environmental damage, and lack of transparency.โ€

 

Chinaโ€™s deputy ambassador Wu Haitao shot back at the U.S., informing the council that Cohen's comments were โ€œat variance with the facts and are fraught with prejudice.โ€

 

"This is an initiative of economic cooperation aimed at achieving common development and prosperity. It has nothing to do with geopolitics,"* said Haitao.

not bitching about notables. There exists a bias and it is not healthy for anyone. I did not create it and since I have been here for over 1 year I have seen the progression of this place. It's not an argument about a /BO policy as you stated.

>I don' give any fucks

If you did not care then why did you inject yourself into it in the first place?

STFU if you don't care.
