Going by your logic, an ongoing tussle with its neighboring countries is not economically beneficial for India, still it never misses any chance to intervene and cause detriment to Bangladesh, Srilanka, and of course, Pakistan. America doesnt need to rely on Israel for its existence and economic well being still it goes around safeguarding their interests in every possible way. Saudi Arabia ruling class has close political and business ties with US still they do not forbid their clerics from spreading hatred against US in the Muslim world Most people tend to see trade as a barometer of strategic alliances. Well the US, EU and Japan are China's 3 largest trading partners, that doesnt make them allies. Israel is not among US major trading partners, yet there are not many countries for whom the US would do what it does for Israel. Among other major investors in China, you find Taiwan, which has invested over $150 Billion in China. That hasnt made them strategic allies yet.Let me give you some numbers here.....
India China Trade in Yr 2008-2009 = $40 Billion
Pakistan China Trade in 2008-2009 = $7 Billion
Trade numbers show the relationship......
