I-China ifake unswinyo kubakhiqizi ababili bezokuvikela baseMelika ngokudayiselwa kwezikhali eTaiwan, ngemuva kosuku iBeijing ithembise ukuthi izothatha “izindlela zokuphikisa” ekuphenduleni iWashington ngokuphatha umsolwa. Ibhaluni lokugada laseShayina eyangena emkhathini waseMelika futhi yadutshulwa ngamasosha ase-US ekuqaleni kwale nyanga.
I-Lockheed
(LMT) Martin Corporation kanye noRaytheon
(RTN) Imicibisholo & Defense, inkampani ephethwe yiRaytheon
(RTN) I-Technologies Corp, izokwengezwa ohlwini lwezijeziso zaseChina, kusho uMnyango Wezohwebo esitatimendeni sangoLwesine. Bavinjelwe ukungenisa, ukuthumela ngaphandle kanye nokutshala imali eChina.
I-Lockheed yenza i- I-F-22 Raptor fighter, i imodeli owayenesibopho sokudubula ibhaluni laseShayina ngasogwini lwaseNingizimu Carolina ngoFebhuwari 4. URaytheon wenza I-AIM-9X Sidewinder umcibisholo, owawusetshenziswa kumishini.
I-China igcizelele ukuthi unswinyo aluhlobene “nesigameko somkhumbi esingahleliwe.” UMnyango Wezohwebo ukhiphe isitatimende ngoLwesihlanu ekuseni uthi lezi zinyathelo ziyingxenye “yezinyathelo ezijwayelekile zokugcinwa komthetho” zokuthengiswa kwezikhali yizinhlangano ezimbili eTaiwan “okubukela phansi” ukuphepha kwezwe laseChina kanye nobuqotho bendawo.
Izijeziso zeza ezinsukwini ezimbalwa ngemuva koMnyango Wezohwebo wase-US kuvinjelwe izinkampani eziyisithupha zaseShayina eyathi ixhumene nohlelo lwe-aerospace yebutho laseShayina kusukela ekutholeni ubuchwepheshe base-US ngaphandle kwemvume kahulumeni.
Bobabili u-Lockheed Martin kanye ne-Raytheon Missiles & Defense nabo bangaphansi kwenhlawulo “inani eliphindwe kabili” lokuthengiswa kwabo kwezikhali e-Taiwan kusukela ngo-September 2020, futhi abaphathi babo abaphezulu bazovinjelwa ukungena nokusebenza e-China.
Akukacaci ngokushesha ukuthi iBeijing izozisebenzisa kanjani izinhlawulo. Ngenkathi i-United States ikwenqabela ukudayiswa kwezikhali e-China, abanye osonkontileka bezokuvikela base-US banezibopho imikhakha yabantu.
“Senza ibhizinisi nezizwe ezingaphezu kuka-70 emhlabeni jikelele, futhi konke ukuthengisa kwethu kwamanye amazwe kulawulwa uhulumeni wase-US,” kusho okhulumela i-Lockheed Martin etshela i-CNN esitatimendeni.
I-Raytheon Missiles & Defense ayizange iphendule ngokushesha esicelweni se-CNN sokuphawula.
IBeijing ike yafaka unswinyo kuzo zombili izinkampani maqondana nokudayiselwa kwazo izikhali eTaiwan, ngaphandle kokucacisa ukuthi izinhlawulo zizohlanganisani nokuthi zizosetshenziswa kanjani. Iqembu elibusayo laseChina lamaKhomanisi libuka iTaiwan yentando yeningi njengendawo yalo, naphezu kokuba lingakaze liyilawule.
Esitatimendeni sawo sangoLwesihlanu, uMnyango Wezentengiselwano waseChina ukuqinisekisile ukuthi bekungokokuqala ngqa ukuthi usebenzise “uhlu lwamabhizinisi angathembekile” ukufaka unswinyo ezinkampanini ezimbili ezithengisa izikhali eTaiwan.
Kunyuke ukungezwani kwezepolitiki phakathi kwe-United States ne-China ngenxa yebhaluni, iBeijing egcizelele ukuthi bekuyindiza yocwaningo yabantu epheshukelwe ngaphandle.
UWashington usesole iChina ngokuphatha uhlelo uhlelo lokubhekwa kwezindiza emhlabeni jikelele. IBeijing iziphikile lezo zimangalo futhi, kuleli sonto isole i-United States “ngokungekho emthethweni” amabhaluni andizela phezulu endaweni yayo yezindiza izikhathi ezingaphezu kweziyi-10 kusukela ekuqaleni kuka-2022, okuhlanganisa nasezifundeni zayo ezisentshonalanga iXinjiang neTibet.
Izikhulu zezobunhloli zase-US zinjalo ukuhlola ukuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ibhaluni elisolwa ngokuba yinhloli alizange lihanjiswe ngamabomu ezwenikazi lase-US nguhulumeni waseShayina, kodwa liphambukiswe endleleni, kubike i-CNN ngoLwesithathu.
Lesi sigameko sesivele sihlehlise ubudlelwano nokuholele ekutheni kuhlehliswe ukuvakasha obekulindelekile kukaNobhala Wezwe laseMelika u-Antony Blinken ukuya eChina ekuqaleni kwale nyanga. Lolu hambo bekulindeleke ukuthi lusize ekudambiseni ukungezwani phakathi kwala mazwe womabili kulandela umhlangano phakathi kukaMengameli waseMelika uJoe Biden nomholi waseChina uXi Jinping ngesikhathi kuqhubeka ingqungquthela yeG20 eBali ngoNovemba.
Ezinkulumweni zangoLwesine, uBiden uthe ulindele ukuthi akhulume noXi kulandela isigameko sebhaluni ukuze “afinyelele ekugcineni kwalokhu” kodwa wathi “akazange axolise” “ngokwehlisa lelo bhaluni.”
Izwe laseMelika lizoqhubeka nokuxhumana neChina, esho, egcizelela isikhundla sakhe sokuthi i-US ifuna “ukuncintisana hhayi ukungqubuzana.” Isimo esikhona manje “sigcizelela ukubaluleka kokugcina imigudu yokuxhumana evulekile” phakathi kosomaqhinga base-US nabaseShayina kanye nabasebenzi bezempi, kusho uBiden.
