The Communist Party of Swaziland (CPS) strongly condemns the recent United States $11.1 billion arms package to the Taiwan region of China. This provocative act constitutes a blatant violation of the One-China principle and undermines regional stability and global peace.
It is common cause to believe that the USA is either effectively donating these arms to right-wing forces in Taiwan or laying the basis for a military presence within Chinese territory. At no point can one be convinced that the bankrupt and poorly managed separatist administration could sustain an $11.1 billion transaction. This deal will ultimately become another costly imperialist war burden imposed on the ordinary people of the USA.
Historically, imperialist wars financed through massive US budgets have resulted in severe economic setbacks for working people while simultaneously undermining global peace, economic stability, and universal justice.
To the Swazi people, the arming of the Taiwan administration represents not only interference in China’s internal affairs but also direct reinforcement of the Mswati dictatorship. Such military supplies inevitably find their way into the hands of oppressive regimes, strengthening authoritarian rule and perpetuating human rights abuses in our country.
Whether through so-called high-level diplomatic visits or direct military transfers, these criminal packages embolden dictatorships at the expense of the people’s freedom. This mirrors US diplomatic trends toward Swaziland that have consistently prioritised geopolitical interests over democracy and human rights.
The CPS stands in firm solidarity with the Communist Party of China and the People’s Republic of China in all efforts to mobilise against this provocation. We call upon all progressive forces and peace-loving people worldwide to:
Denounce US interference in China’s internal affairs.
Support the One-China principle and China’s territorial integrity.
Recognise that attacks on China’s sovereignty strengthen dictatorships everywhere.
Build international solidarity against imperialist policies that arm oppressive and illegitimate regimes.
The struggle for Taiwan’s reunification with mainland China is inseparable from our own struggle for democracy in Swaziland. Imperialism abroad reinforces dictatorship at home. Only international solidarity can bring genuine liberation for all peoples.
Long live international solidarity!
Long live the People’s Republic of China!
Down with imperialism and dictatorship!
