Current Events Summary #5

Recently, events in southern Asia show that some countries, Pakistan in particular, are currently active in foreign policy. Pakistan's government seems to be unwavering in its political beliefs and decisions. Some of these decisions are controversial, but still, Pakistan firmly defends its choices. One such decision was the choice to support China in its attempts to force Taiwan into being a part of the mainland's government. Taiwan wishes for independence, and many countries support this goal of freedom. However, Pakistan claims that the majority of its people support the One-China Policy, disagreeing with the nations that support Taiwan.
Also, Pakistan recently performed a test launch of its missiles. These missiles, which are capable of carrying nuclear weapons, had a range of 700 kilometers, showing that the country would able to use them to hit targets in India within that range. This could be a threat to India, which has had conflicts with Pakistan. Still, Pakistan has not made any mention of such plans. It has, however, stated that it will respond strongly to any attempt to seize the country's nuclear weapons. An idea has been alluded that the United States might try to do so. In response to this idea, Pakistan has warned "those contemplating misadventure" that it is capable of defending itself.
