No, China is your ally , an all weather ally. How can you not offer such a simple thing for all that they have done. They are willing to give 50 JF-17s on credit. Will anyother country do that for you ? Give something in return.

Pakistan has already acceded large sq kms of land in the state of J&K to China. What is a big deal with a naval base ?

Pakistan Zindabad!!!

Thank our Pak brothers to strategically provide us the support, the interests for China would be the interests for Pakistan.

Ha ha, jumping the gun ?

The naval base IMO is for Pak Navy

This is a forum where people express thr opinion. Have u got that wrong? Too much C2H5OH I guess.

In fact, China has not yet publically responded to Pakistan's request and may decide that acceding to Islamabad's suggestion is at odds with its oft-stated position of having "no hegemonic intentions".

Crucial test of China's intent.

China declines to build naval base in Pakistan

Chinese National Defence Minister Liang Guanglie has dismissed out-of-court suggestions that Beijing was carving out “a permanent naval presence” in India's neighbourhood in South Asia.

Answering questions at a plenary session of the 10th Asia Security Summit, organised here by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, General Liang disclaimed moves to build naval bases at Gwadar in Pakistan and at a Sri Lankan port.

Emphasising his credentials as a member of the Chinese State Council and Central Military Commission, he said “we will have a very serious and careful study of an issue of such importance to the government and the military” like the reported move for establishing naval bases in Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Indeed, “we will have exact plans and set up a panel to discuss it” if the move were for real. However, “I haven't heard of it,” said General Liang, delivering a calibrated political punch-line.
Asked by Manish Tewari, Congress party's spokesman, to spell out China's core interests in South Asia and the Indian Ocean area, General Liang said: “The core interests include anything that is related to sovereignty, stability, and form of government. China is now pursuing socialism. If there is any attempt to reject this path, it will touch upon China's core interests. Or, if there is any attempt to [encourage] any part of China to secede, that also touches upon China's core interests related to our land, sea, or air. Then, anything that is related to China's national [economic and social] development also touches upon China's core interests.”

On China's military modernisation, which the IISS experts see as a politically correct term for an arms build-up or arms race, General Liang said: “We do not have a large arsenal of ‘third generation weapons' or system-platforms. [Henry] Kissinger [former U.S. official] once told me ‘there is a clear gap between the U.S. and China.' Now, China's defence modernisation is compatible with its growth. While we focus on economic growth, we are sparing some resources for the development of the military.” He added.

in punjabi we say "chacha khaam khayei"
nothing els, indian mind i think

Pakistan should build a naval base and many Gwadar itself. It is time for the Singapore Port Authority to run the Gawadar port to its potential or pack up and leave.

 

[Obambam]

The port is there and it must be properly managed and used. It is Pakistan's gateway to future energy and investments.

 

[EagleEyes]

No need for China to create any sort of naval base in Pakistan.

 

[CardSharp]

No need for China to create any sort of naval base in Pakistan.

Personally I think, the request had more to do with Pakistan's internal politics and relationship with America than a concern for the common interests between China and Pakistan.

pakistan and china have friendly relation

 

[ephone]

First Pakistan sold it's Sovereignty to US now it is selling it to China.

Unlike U.S., we respect other country's Sovereignty.
