Pakistan has restricted Taiwanese airlines from flying through its airspace on the grounds of supporting Beijing's "one-China principle". When President Lai Ching-de visited African countries before, he also encountered the situation of some countries closing their airspace.
Pakistan only restricted Taiwanese airlines from flying through its airspace on the grounds of supporting Beijing's "one-China principle". Within a few days, it made a sharp turn and restored the overflight permissions of China Airlines and EVA Air. Mainland Affairs Council spokesman Liang Wenjie said today that there may be more and more cases in the future. The more severe the CCP’s suppression, the more determined we must be. President Chiang Kai-shek once said, "Be solemn and self-reliant, and do not be surprised by changes." This sentence is still applicable today.
Foreign media reported that Pakistan once restricted Taiwanese airlines from flying through its airspace on the grounds of supporting Beijing's "one-China principle" and extended its diplomatic support to China to the international aviation field. This restriction forced Taiwan's two major airlines to adjust flight routes between Asia and Europe.
However, "Bloomberg" reported on the 28th that people familiar with the matter said that Pakistan has restored the overflight rights of Taiwanese airlines, suddenly overturning its previous decision to deny Taiwanese airlines access to its airspace in support of the "one-China principle." The Civil Aviation Authority of Pakistan has approved China Airlines and EVA Air to use Pakistani airspace from October 28 to March 27 next year.
In this regard, Liang Wenjie said at the Mainland Affairs Council press conference that this incident was relatively sudden, and the truth will be known after some time. This is not the first time that the CCP mobilized its friendly countries to isolate Taiwan. When President Lai went to visit an African country a while ago, his airspace was also closed by several African countries. Therefore, this case of Pakistan is not an isolated case, and there may be more and more in the future. Of course, we must be alert to whether other countries friendly to the CCP will also incite to do these things.
Liang Wenjie emphasized that the more severe the CCP’s suppression, the more determined we must be. When we were forced to withdraw from the United Nations in 1971, President Chiang Kai-shek said, "Be solemn and self-reliant, and be calm in the face of change." This sentence is still applicable today.
