India and Neighbouring countries: China Card Doesn’t Pay

. . .
The above article is from an Indian named Rajeev Sharma ! He is trying to drive a wedge between China and her friends but failed miserable to do so.
You have failed miserably instead!! By posting this article you have laid bare the tenuous relationship between Pakistan and China! Thank you for the very insightful article which is beautifully analyzed by the author.

The fact is that China is using Pakistan for its own ends and supreme national interests, and not Pakistan's which you guys are blind to or unwilling to accept. Here are a few pointers:

> China's refusal to bail out Pakistan for a $7 billion aid package.
> Declined energy cooperation with Pakistan.
> Refused to help build a Naval Base at Gwadar.
> Withdrawal of many Chinese Cos due to security issues.
> The promised $200 million aid for flood victims yet to to materialize.
> Extremely poor quality railway engines dumped by China at exorbitant prices and now defunct and beyond economical repair.
> No Chinese help forthcoming for Pakistan during the wars of 1965, 1971, and Kargil.
> Dumping and flooding cheaper and poor quality Chinese goods into the Pakistani market raising the hackles of many a Pakistani businessman by driving them out of business.
> After half a century of 'all weather friendship', Sino-Pak trade has barely reached $14 billion!! (Sino-Indian trade in contrast is now $70 billion set to rise to $100 billion by 2015!!)
> Infrastructure that China is helping Pakistan build in Pak Administered Kashmir is being paid for by Pakistan and not a free largesse by the Chinese. In fact the enormous profits the Chinese are raking in (Banyas that they are) is all going back to China. They are laughing all the way to the bank at the expense of Pakistan!!

The bottom line is that China is using Pakistan as a hedge against India and therefore arming it up to its gills with weapons and nukes at concessional rates. There is nothing much else in the relationship diplomatic or economic, which is totally one sided. That oft repeated cliche - 'higher than the mountains, deeper than the oceans and sweeter than honey' is all baloney.
