So far, China stood up for only two allies, Pakistan and North Korea. China did not stand up for her friends in BD, matter of fact, China doesn't seem to care if BD is turned into another indian satellite by the indian puppets. The BD armed forces buy Chinese weapons and the Chinese government takes it as a sign that they have an ally in the regime ruling BD. Of course Nothing can be farther than the truth but the Chinese leaders don't realise this or perhaps they are simply indifferent as far as BD is concerned. As a result China's friends are regularly portrayed as terrorists and persecuted by the indian puppets in BD while the real terrorists go untouched. Anyway, immense pressure has been exerted upon China's all weather ally Pakistan so that Pakistan clarifies whether she is an ally of the US or China. It seems Pakistan won't be given the option to choose both as allies. Another dangerous episode is in the making for Pakistan, if China hesitates to stand by Pakistan 200% (that's what the US and its minions expect) Pakistan will be bombed to submission within months if not days. You talk of strengthening the PNS for scaring the elephant but that cannot be successfully done without securing the Bay of Bengal and for that BD Must be taken into account. Allowing an indian puppet to cling to power in Dhaka will never secure the Bay of Bengal for China and her ally Pakistan.
