Respect Pakistan's sovereignty, China tells US

Respect Pakistan's sovereignty, China tells US
Beijing/Islamabad, May 19, (PTI):

China on Thursday said the international community ''must respect' Pakistan’s sovereignty, tacitly confirming reports that it has asked the US not to violate Islamabad’s territorial integrity, following the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Asked about reports that China has asked US during its recently concluded dialogue with Washington to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty as Islamabad came under heavy pressure after bin Laden’s killing, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu told media that sovereignty and territorial integrity of Pakistan must be respected.

“We believe that Pakistan has made great contribution to counter-terrorism efforts, as well as huge sacrifices. The international community should understand and support Pakistan’s efforts to restore national stability and develop its economy,” she said.

‘Somebody’ knew of Laden hideout

US Defence Secretary Robert Gates says that “somebody” in Pakistan knew about Osama bin Laden’s hideout in that country but there is no “evidence” that the top leadership was aware of it. But Gates would not say who.

US cares a hoot about China's request. H Clinton confirmed the country's will to strike using drones or with boots on ground if actionable intelligence is available.
 
China is the last nation to lecture other nations on this matter, after China own track record to be honest.
 
China's statement is only for common public consumption in Pakistan. This is common in any state visit. They give statement but that is it.
