China couldnot pressure India into giving up sikkim or arunachal that china claims, it will force India to compromise on Pakistan.Lol.
Chinese investment in Pakistan is $60bn total to be invested in next few years. India China Annual nearly $85bn. Pretty obvioys where are the economic indicators indicating to esp. In this Trump era of trade wars.
Only 30% of Brahmaputra waters come from China. And any attempt to put restraints there will affect Bangladesh more than India.
Btw why do you guys always need to jump on someone else's shoulder to talk to India, sometimes its US led SEATO, sometimes it Ummah now China. Well neither SEATO nor Ummah helped you.
There are actually sporadic instances of Chinese incursions into Sikkim, read that recently, and I think China has the better upper hand in border dispute since the '62 war.
What you talk of is trade, I think ? And isn't there an issue of trade deficit discussed in Indian media ? Like it exports some 2 billions to China, while importing +50 billions ? And CPEC is investments in infrastructure which will be beneficial for the long term economic well being of Pak economy. It's different from trade.
I don't know the exact issue of the Brahmaputra tbh, but isn't that a water dispute that India keeps bringing on table ? Or perhaps it's a secondary issue ? Perhaps.
And Pak needs to balance its pop difference with India (as of now of some 1.1
billion), that's why it seeks help from stronger countries than India. And ummah did help. Look at how Saudia Arabia has helped Pak since the days of King Faycal. The very fact that they allow migration which results in remittances of billions of dollars is itself help.
Take this argument somewhere else. You’re literally at China’s feet. They’ll takeover your economy if things continue the way they’re right now. Let’s see if Imran Khan can change it. You guys will need some other country or international agency to bail your economy out of the mess it is in right now.
The level of delusion here is unbelievable.
I think Hindus have a caste vision : everything is vertical and hierarchic, like Dalits and Brahmins.
A country can help you without trying to control/dominate you like the US. Look at China's presence in Africa, and how it's appreciated - it's only Westerners who call it "neo colonialism".
The CPEC is literally a gift for Pak, integrating into the old Silk Road, and Imran Khan has already said that he'll want to further develop our relations with the Ba-tie/"iron brother" :

We also want to send teams to learn poverty alleviation from China.
