2009 Sino-Pak collaboration & support to Sri lanka in terms of both moral & material, = "LTTE" being wiped out ( which started off as an "external" "response" to Sri lanka cozing up to the U.S back in the 80's), while @ the same time paving the way for the ever growing influence of China in Sri lanka & now even Maldives , Chinese foot mark in the Indian Ocean region = "Hambantota" this is what is called
"Regional balance of Power"
Basically you are saying, Chinese encirclement of India. Sino-pak friendship goes back to 1950's, but they didn't lift a finger to help Pakistan in '65, '71 or '99. Why will they stick their neck out now for Pakistan, when today India is in a position to make most damange to China than in anytime in last 60Yrs.?
Also, China is more worried about its own encirclement by US and its Asian allies. Why will it want to force India into an Anti-China alliance?
Also, as far as SriLanka is concerned, its the least of our headaches. What is the worst they can do, even if they sell out wholesale to China? The economy & population of SriLanka is smaller than one of southern state Tamil Nadu. Also, it wouldn't take much effort for India to create trouble in SriLanka, if they try to become troublesome. Same goes to Bangladesh.
