Yes, America gave two relief to China on Monday. The first relief is that the US has banned the BLA i.e. Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and declared it a terrorist organization. This is the same BLA which has been a headache for both China and Pakistan for years. The second relief is that the deadline for tariffs on sugar imports has been extended for 90 days. Now the question is, why is the superpower getting so kind to its biggest enemy?
The US declared Pakistan -based BLA i.e. Balochistan Liberation Army and its allied organization Majeed Brigade as a foreign terrorist organization. In the eyes of Pakistan, BLA is a terrorist organization. While he is fighting his freedom struggle. He has been demanding Azad Balochistan. The BLA advocates local control over the resources of Balochistan. This is the reason why he has plagued Pakistan. But during the visit of Asim Munir, America reduced Pakistan’s headache.
How to relieve China?
This organization remains a threat not only to Pakistan, but also China, as ambitious projects like China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) are running in Balochistan. The BLA has targeted Chinese workers and projects associated with CPEC several times. This has increased the concern of Beijing. In such a situation, the US has indirectly relieved China by declaring BLA a terrorist organization and banning it. BLA has been opposing Chinese investment in Balochistan. Also, the way Pakistan is controlling China in Balochistan, BLA has also been against it.
Trump has increased the plan to put tariffs on sugar for 90 days. This is the second time when America has given relief to China on putting tariffs. If Trump did not increase this deadline, then up to 145% tariff would have been implemented on China. This would cause the rust of trade and tariff to become a buffalo. This would have caused a lot of damage to China. However, America is no less disturbed by this. His people also had to pay the price of high tariff. Currently, 30 percent of tariffs are applicable to China. China has also rewarded this good news. China has also removed the additional 24 percent tariff from the US.
Now the question is, why is Trump so kind to China?
America sees its profit and loss in every decision. He has also done kindness on China under his compulsion. If Trump did not take Uteron, the atmosphere in America could have been heated. The US extended the tariff deadline on China for 90 days, as there is heavy purchases during Christmas. Chinese goods, such as clothes and toys are cheap. For this reason they are very popular. Prices increased due to increase in tariffs. This could have upset the American consumers and was in danger of rebellion against Trump. The second reason is that America does not want more than China. Because it is trying to break the trio of Russia, India and China.
