Pakistan-China relationship is as old as Pakistan as a nation.  China was sympathetic for the creation of independent homeland for muslims during 1947.  Describing their relationships, Hu Jintao once stated that "higher than the mountains and deeper than the oceans".  Both these countries have mutual interest and identity of views. China believes that Pakistan played a significant role for China to break its isolation from western world particularly with USA.  China also believes that Pakistan was instrumental in strengthening its relationships with Muslim World.  China strongly supported Pakistan and extended military and financial aid during 2008 when Pakistan-India relations reached its lowest ever. China played a major role in the development of nuclear infrastructure in Pakistan.  Pakistan is China's Israel.  Fear of China, forced the USA to extend all possible aid to Pakistan till date.  The relationship is now seems to be strained.  How best we can utilise this situation in our favour is in the hands of our Indian Govt.  One thing I can say here that this is not a new phenomenon. But, the backstage scenes are now popping on the front screen.  It is good development as far as India is concerned in my perception. 

India must have strengthened its ties with Russia instead of focusing on making adjustments with US. India seem to have lost the only friend it had in due course of time due to its proximity to a nation (US) which was always supporting the country known to be responsible for infiltration & terrorism i.e. Pakistan.

It is commendable that Pak has been able to find support in best & strongest of the nations earlier US & now China. We need to learn the foreign affair & policies for Pak. At least something can be learnt from our dear neighbor.

Thanks Mr. Rajeev for this eye-opener!  India, at this point, will obviously has no other option, but to keep its eyes and ears open!  We all know, for sure, Pakistan is closely engaged with China, allowing them to build barracks and bunkers along the Indo-Pak border!  China's excesses in building dam to harness Brahmaputra in the North-east border is also well known.  Pakistan should not forget that the US had bailed them out for harboring Osama Bin Laden in Abbotabad!  UN Security Council should have declared them "Terror State"!  De-stabilizing Afghan peace initiative at this point in time will send a positive signal to the terror groups, who have the potential to retaliate which will have a ripple effect in Pakistan and India!  Playing China card looks to be so novel for Pakistan for the time being, tougher economic sanctions against Pakistan by the US will trigger internal war within the country!  PEACE in this region is hard to achieve, I think! 

We are already facing one problem here and now this news.. What is the future?? No one knows.. 
Thanks for sharing Sir..
