    Pacific summit backs concerns over China missile test despite Nauru dissent

    SYDNEY, 4 settembre (Reuters) – I leader delle isole del Pacifico hanno espresso preoccupazione per il test missilistico cinese nel Pacifico durante il loro vertice annuale, sebbene Nauru abbia formalmente dissentito, in una riunione in gran parte oscurata dalle obiezioni di Pechino alla presenza di Taiwan.

    Il presidente di Palau Surangel Whipps Jr., ospite del vertice, ha dichiarato giovedì che il test del missile balistico intercontinentale (ICBM) effettuato dalla Cina a luglio – il primo lancio noto di Pechino nel Pacifico dal settembre 2024 – ha sorvolato diverse nazioni insulari senza un adeguato preavviso.

    «I leader hanno esortato tutti gli Stati che effettuano test con missili balistici intercontinentali a garantire trasparenza e rassicurazione, anche fornendo un preavviso di almeno 24 ore prima di un test, in conformità con la prassi internazionale», ha dichiarato Whipps Jr. durante una conferenza stampa al termine del Forum delle Isole del Pacifico.

    «Vorrei sottolineare che la Repubblica di Nauru ha espresso dissenso», ha aggiunto, leggendo da una dichiarazione preparata.

    Nauru, che in passato ha alternato il riconoscimento diplomatico tra Pechino e Taipei, ha ristabilito le relazioni diplomatiche con la Cina nel 2024.

    Il ministero degli Esteri cinese, in risposta alla dichiarazione, ha affermato che il paese è impegnato nello sviluppo pacifico e persegue una politica di difesa nazionale, aggiungendo di non aver mai intrapreso alcuna espansione militare.

    «La Cina è disposta a collaborare con i paesi del Pacifico meridionale per contribuire a salvaguardare la pace, la stabilità, lo sviluppo e la prosperità nella regione», ha dichiarato il portavoce del ministero Guo Jiakun durante una conferenza stampa periodica.

    Il ministro australiano dell’Energia Chris Bowen, che ha partecipato al vertice insieme al primo ministro Anthony Albanese, ha affermato venerdì che era «perfettamente ragionevole che la stragrande maggioranza dei paesi del Pacifico esprimesse un’opinione e che uno o due dichiarassero di avere un punto di vista diverso».

    «Non è necessaria l’unanimità per esprimere posizioni molto forti a nome della stragrande maggioranza degli Stati insulari del Pacifico, cosa che è risultata molto chiara», ha dichiarato Bowen alla ABC Radio.

    Palau, una delle tre nazioni insulari del Pacifico che intrattengono relazioni diplomatiche ufficiali con Taiwan, aveva spinto il blocco di 18 membri a condannare formalmente il test missilistico. 

    Giovedì Pechino ha reagito, accusando Palau di alimentare un «clamore mediatico» sul test missilistico e avvertendo che i suoi tentativi di influenzare le altre nazioni insulari del Pacifico erano «maliziosi e non avranno successo».

    TAIWAN CONDANNA LA DIPLOMAZIA “WOLF WARRIOR” DELLA CINA

    Il vertice è stato ulteriormente appesantito dalle obiezioni della Cina alla partecipazione di Taiwan, con Pechino che ha sostenuto che l’isola non fosse qualificata per partecipare. La Cina rivendica Taiwan, governata democraticamente, come proprio territorio – una posizione che Taiwan respinge con fermezza.

    Venerdì il ministro degli esteri di Taiwan, Lin Chia-lung, ha condannato la diplomazia «wolf warrior» della Cina durante il vertice e ha affermato che i funzionari cinesi si sono anche dedicati allo spionaggio durante l’evento.

    «Questo tipo di diplomazia cinese dei ‘lupi guerrieri’ in realtà mina facilmente l’unità del Pacifico ed è piuttosto scoraggiante e malvista”, ha affermato, aggiungendo che sia Taiwan che la Cina erano ospiti invitati.

    I lavori sono stati inoltre oscurati dall’assenza di cinque leader del Pacifico, che hanno inviato al loro posto ministri di basso rango. Il prossimo vertice sarà ospitato dalla Nuova Zelanda nel 2027.
