Pak's change of guard worries China​

BEIJING: The Pakistan Peoples Party's (PPP) choice of Raja Pervez Ashraf as the candidate to replace the disqualified PM Yusaf Raza Gilani is that of a stranger to China, the country Pakistan refers to as its all-weather friend.

Raja Ashraf in his maiden speech to parliament on Friday used the standard hyperbole that Pakistani politicians reserve for China. "Pakistan's friendship with China is higher than mountains and China has helped us in every hour of need and we would further enhance it," he said.

However, the Chinese leaders though have strong reasons to worry about the changed circumstances in Islamabad. Ashraf is almost an unknown commodity to Beijing and he would be the first Pakistani PM since the Nawaz Sharif regime in the 1990s to be in that unchartered area with respect to China.

Ashraf has not visited Beijing in the past several years. This is significant because Pakistani politicians including President Asif Ali Zardari and former PM Yusaf Raza Gilani have been visiting China several times a year and developing their relationship with the Chinese government and the Communist Party's different agencies.

Gilani's departure is a huge loss for China because it has invested heavily in developing a close relationship with him and with Zardari. Beijing is said to be seriously-worried because Zardari's future remains in doubt.

The changing situation will be closely-watched in New Delhi because China banks on its relationship with Pakistani leaders to work out strategies concerning its relationship with India. Pakistani is known to get encouragement from China to continuously to harp on the Kashmir issue to keep India under pressure. The Zardari-Gilani tenure has seen Pakistan coming closer to China and drifting away from the US.

I do not think that China is worried about the unknown new PM of Pakistan, they have deep rooted institutionalized relationship across the functions of Pakistani state.

Pakistan's friendship with China is not just based on Government to Government contact but the deep bond of its Citizens. An overwhelming percentage of Pakistani Citizens view China as their trusted Friend.

You had same relationship with US too??? What has happened to it???

No Genius, we did not have the same relationship with the US.

In the last 60 years we have had three ( 3 ) on again off again relationships with the US.

We are currently going through the " third divorce " with the US.

Capische , Genius ?

Personal equations among the top politicians play a big role and influence the decisions they make.

Ashraf is certainly a new ball game for China. Ultimately there are two countries involved that have to take decisions keeping their own welfare in mind.

Its completely irrelevant what the population thinks. Do you think pak population supports relations with the US? If No, then how do you justify US-Pak govt. to govt relations?

Its very imp. govt. office bearers share a good rapport among themselves and china will have to study ashraf unlike gilani ad zardari whom they knew since many years.

Rental Raja is just a gap filler.

He will go after the elections,

The China-Pakistan friendship does not depend on one or two particular person，
it rooted in the most majority people of the two countries，being enhanced by the mutual interests。

Why is there this requirement to write to the gurus of TI, why not just share the information on the forum? Do you think somebody might point out a hole in the story?

Do you think media houses reveal their sources out in public?

If you write to them, they might give you some info on where they the got the info from but I doubt they will give out direct names.

Do you live on the same planet as rest of us , Genius.


Pakistan / US Government to Government relationship is at its lowest point since last 60 years.

Take a wild guess why that is ?

Because Anti US feelings in the Pakistani General Public are at their highest level in the last 60 years.

There is a definite corelation between how Public perceives and how governments react.
