Related to this, there are two other notable developments.
First is the US argument that Pakistan’s increased research and production of long-range missiles in particular and its missile development program in general constitute a security threat to the US. This makes public opinion strange because Pakistan has always been no different from a close ally of the US, both in name and in reality, and has always received a large degree of US military aid.
It is true that Pakistan’s internal politics often has upheavals and the country has traditional cooperative relationships with a number of countries in the world that the US confronts, but it is difficult to believe that Pakistan is turning against the US.

The second notable development is that just a few days before the decision, the US sanctioned a number of Chinese entities for allegedly cooperating and supporting four Pakistani companies, that is, helping Pakistan develop the program. rocket.
In essence, the US accusations against relevant Chinese entities are about the dissemination of missile manufacturing technology, especially long-range missiles. It seems that the deep core of America’s concern is to worry about China through helping Pakistan promote its missile development program to connect and bind Pakistan more closely, and at the same time use Pakistan to counter the United States. Thus, the US punishes Pakistan to target someone else.
