Unlike a fanboy, I can assure you I know exactly what I write. Pak-China collaboration is beyond all other relations that China has to be frank with you (from a strategic standpoint). Not too long ago the Chinese told the US and the UN that "Pakistan is their Israel". If this doesn't explain the level of connectivity between the two, than I can't help you as you've become delusional (sorry).
Also, Pakistan's strategy has shifted for good as of a few months ago and its been explained to Mr. McCain yesterday. There is no such concept of the "strategic depth" anymore, which is why they were supporting some people. Just like Afghans were supporting terrorism inside Pakistan through India's $$$$ and training.
Sen. John McCain just visited Pakistan and has conveyed the will to keep Pakistani relations outside of India and Afghanistan relations. Believe it or not, Pakistan will be leading the fight against ISIS in the near future. The PA has tremendous amounts of experience in this area at this point and many countries will be learning from them. The US and Pakistan share the SAME set of enemies that others do. This was said by Mr. McCain today and last week (before his trip). The US would never want to lose Pakistan as an ally. They get upset on the concept of double game sung by the Indian lobby every day in Washington. But one small visit on the ground erases that influence as they get to see ground realities. Thanks.
Well I am glad when you say there is no concept of Strategic Depth anymore, hope this also translate into actual change on the ground as well.
But then when you have Generals like Durrani Sahib as mentioned by @pakistani342 who are still thinking of keeping the pot boiling then it is hard to believe that GHQ has changed its outlook vis-a-vis Afghanistan.
