Internationalist Ariel Segal: Entry into global conflict after Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is not in China’s interests

Historian and internationalist Ariel Segal believes this Wednesday that the crisis unleashed by US House President Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan “remains there for the moment” because China is uncomfortable with “conflict” over the global context.

In an interview program News Extension from PTRAriel Segal recalled that US President Joe Biden mentioned a few months ago that the Pentagon recommended Nancy Pelosi not to go on a tour of the “Far East” when the Ukrainian front of the war with Russia was opened.

China has never recognized sovereignty TaiwanThe US does not openly recognize it either, they recognize it as an autonomous country, but not a sovereign one. However, when a high-ranking official, who in this case would be the third-ranking official in the United States after the president and vice president, visits Taiwan obviously China is very dissatisfied and it is no coincidence that military maneuvers are already around today Taiwan. I think he will stay there for the moment because it is not convenient for China to enter into a conflict given the situation in the world,” he said.

Ariel Segal is ‘very hard’ to understand and give a logical explanation for the trip Nancy Pelosi to Taiwan, although it has autonomy and does not have to ask permission from President Joe Biden.

“Perhaps he announced this in advance and thought that the war in Ukraine would come to a ceasefire so as not to lose face in front of Congress and in front of American public opinion. Secondly, this is a bipartisan situation in the US. .., the Taiwan issue. China is opposed by the Republican and Democratic parties and this has the support of congressmen and senators of the Republican Party. The third question is that in November the elections to the entire Congress, the Democrats are likely to lose the lower house and upper house and probably Nancy Pelosi I want to go down in history thanks to this trip,” he said.

‘Taliban give shelter to al-Qaeda members’

Internationalist Ariel Segal confirmed that the United States has eliminated several al-Qaeda and Islamic State leaders in Yemen, Syria, Afghanistan and Pakistan, such as Ayman al-Zawahiri. He recalled that this character was number one in al-Qaeda after Osama bin Laden.

“Obviously, Biden is using this to show a strong hand in international politics, when many remember that the exit from Afghanistan was very chaotic. In fact, the importance of this story is that this character was in Kabul, and it shows that after 20 years of NATO presence in Afghanistan, the Taliban seem to be providing safe haven to members of Al Qaeda. This shows, along with the policies of the Taliban, that the promises that they are going to make changes and not govern as in the past are completely false and that al-Qaeda is once again taking refuge in the country,” he said.
