LOL..... look at the indian burning at China's partnership with Pakistan.
China has massively upgraded its military since the end of the Cold War -- all for the glory of fighting and winning a massive military conflict against the USA and its allies alongside our brothers Russia, Pakistan and Iran. Of course we won't hesitate to join them. We are all victims of the evil US hegemony plaguing the world like an epidemic since the end of the Cold War.
Economic growth is nothing compared to glory earned in combat. Chairman Mao taught us well.
G-2 was a concept dreamed up by USA to trick China into thinking we are friends. Obviously, we are not, and we told them to shove it.

Firstly, dot are joined together, not added together.
Secondly, all of the bloc that you are pinning your dreams on have their own internal issues, specially Russia. The recent unrest over Putin's political shenanigans does not bode well for its own political stability that will keep it increasingly internally occupied rather than trying to play kingmaker.
I would be happy, if that sort of a grouping happens, off course, I would not want Russia to join it, give the long term military and strategic relations that Russia and India have. This would give a sort of a licence to the west to reignite and expand NATO eastwards, and China would fall under a trap. Business between China and the west would cease, bring the economic growth in China to a halt, meaning more business to India. Defence spending in China would increase means more guns than butter. There will be another cold war again between democracy and communism....and we saw the result of the last cold war
Not only China, but most countries including US and India have massively upgraded their military since the cold war. So save the diatribe. If you are picking up a fight, you will see a appropriate response.
VCheng:
Anything in the planning/development phases is technically a 'pipe dream', no matter how many pros and cons you can bring forth to justify arguments one way or the other.
Repeating 'pipe-dream' ad nauseum is really a waste of time and pointless - focus on the pros and cons of the ideas/arguments being advanced.
Secondly, a 'Russia-China-Pakistan-CAR Bloc' does not suggest that Pakistan stop trading with the rest of the world, to address your 'textile export' argument.
^^^^^ this is what i dont understand about you cheng a lot of the points you have raised here have been dealt with in earlier posts,
Yes, the points that do not have any realistic chance of happening.

Anyway back to thread: iran pakistan half of pipeline has been built, china has agreed funding for pakistan leg of iran pakistan pipeline, china has also assisted in gwador and infrastructure for transport links within pakistan. china has finance pipelines through from cars and russia to china by paying for gas and oil for 10 to 20 years in advance, russians when agreeing to pakistan full membership to sco also mentioned the exploitation of minerals and routes developments of pipes were a priority for them. It has been stated allready by some commentators that american precense was more down to wanting their corporations to be involved in the exploitation of raw materials in this region, munter stated in a speech at lahore uni that they would be interested to fund tapi to the tune of 7.5 billion, i could go on but i see no point cheng with you but hopefully other forum members will find this interesting and consider it a benefit to the people of our neighbourhood
..............
you didnt comment on the fact that the iranian leg off ip pipeline was complete. You did not comment on the fact that a number of other pipelines have been completed, you ignored anything that shows that these projects are well under way.
.........................
Excuse me, but would you care to point out functioning pipelines (the kind that carries oil and/or gas rather than air), or at least target dates of completion?
would you care to read the earlier articles you wouldnt have to repeat yourself
So we already have figures of energy resources transported and sold and paid for by these non-functioning pipelines?
