Yes it will, because of various reasons.
First off Mr.X thanks a lot for taking time to discuss this....I like your responses but have a few counter opinions......
1) We are friends since past 60 years and India will not become a reliable friend so sudden, so it will need time to settle up everything and that means years and in that while we can find another reliable friend.
Agreed to the first reply.....Trust and Rome are not built in a day...but we dont need to make an ally, we need to end hostilities so we can concentrate on development thats all (This goes for both countries)...remember India expends a considerable number of troops and resources are diverted to counter China....once this pressure is off...means additional pressure on Pakistan!!!
2) Pakistan and China shares common interests while India does not share as much as Pakistan's interests. China wants to dominate the World so is India and why will China make friendship with its Arch-rival and make things worsen?
Sir that is a weak argument....common interests of Pakistan and China go as far as countering India....as far as trade etc goes, India is a much more lucrative partner....both strategically and as a potential market.....Besides take the example of America....America too wants to dominate the world, especially for resources....does that change the status quo that America and China are in? Both have their spheres of influence.....in fact being the largest trade partners, they have more of a mutually beneficial relationship...besides....remember a key point....You dont "fight" for resources on others homeland (Meaning America and China wont go to war over resources in Africa)...they will try to outbid each other.....one fights only for disputed territory...eg Kashmir
3) Pakistan and China needs Natural resources badly and due to geographically they both will have to use the same sources and why would China want to share its interests with India if she is getting all the benefits solely. I mean China can get Oil and Gas from Iran through her reliable friend Pakistan and India can't. China is getting and increasing its influence on other south asian countries like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Nipal etc and making her ports in these countries and using their natural resources while India share poor relationships with these countries. Why would china be friend with India and let her use those resources that China is enjoying freely
Youre getting this wrong....India does not have poor relations with these countries, its more like China is trying to influence these countries to curb a current enemy.....eg China seeks a base in Sri Lanka and Nepal to keep an eye on India....
If there is no hostility, then why waste resources....China can outsource the protection of the straight of Mallaca to India or even a co-operative effort is possible....Besides....China is not almighty god that every country will accept them with open arms.....
Every country will allow a foreign presence based on what benefits them the most....And at this point India can wave cash to "buy" friends if it needs to....everyone is well aware of it....we might be a bit late to the party, but we come with some crisp benjamins....
Besides..Do you think Sri Lankans or Nepalese have the clout to truly face off India....Remember sir...Hambanota is a statement...thats it....I hope you realize that wars are won based on how many friends you have....not how many "listening posts" one posseses....I think you're aware of Diego Garcia?
4) China will deal only with India if both countries sort out their problems but if they remain the friend of Pakistan, they have an access to all Muslim world through Pakistan and Gwadar.
This is where Pakistan truly underestimates India.....
India is friendly to all muslim nations....EXCEPT Pakistan!!
So please dont be mistaken that India has any less clout in the Islamic world Pakistan.....if any it has more than Pakistan!!
Remember Sir Muslim or not....everyone wants to make money..Religion is secondary to the "real god" called Pure hard cash....Prime example is Saudi Arabia....the leader of Muslim ideology!!!..and it favors muslims to co-operate with India for their economic benefit....I expect you to figure the rest!!!
5) The Lion is the king of the Jungle and two Animals cannot become the King of the Jungle
No Philosophy Sir.....But since you're at it.....Yes Lion is the King of the Jungle....But even the Lion respects the march of the lone "Vegetarian" Elephant....I think you can do the mix and match from here
6) Incase there is a car in future China vs India, they would want Pakistan to stand against India and support china, also if there is a war against Pakistan, china will support Pakistan to reduce her influence from the region so we could both countries destroy or damage each other and China could dominate the World.
This is the point that I want you to expand on.....why would China risk a face off...against a $100 Billion potential trade partner with enough fire power, cash and friends.... for Pakistan.....which works mostly on soft loans....requires heavy investment in infrastructure...is troubled with insurgency...not trusted by the west and is politically unstable??
Frankly and no offense.....sooner or later Pakistan will become a burden for China....why should China divert its resources and men to support a country when they can easily just stay neutral???...Dont you think?? Remember Sir....Wars cost you money and sometimes friends....and India has a lot of Friends!!!
And remember....sooner than later India will be part of the security council....That will make it even harder for China to openly oppose India!!!
Lots of facts
Yes, because even other foreign countries do not want to see India become a Super Power neither China. What i believe they want is, Make India stable that it can dare to stand against China and keep Pakistan also in Check incase India dare to stand against western countries. So they want all these three countries to stand against each other and could fight for western benefits. Even China would want to see prosperty in Pakistan and not just in military but all sectors so in any case India stands against China, Pakistan too support China and take a stand against India.
Brother....I feel that the age of Military dominance is done.....This is the age of economic hitmen and economic warfare.....
The rules of demand and supply will tell you that there is demand in the west and the east is a vast and cheao source of the "supply"....the sheer manpower that India and China possess will be their greatest resource.....there is nothing that the world can do to stop the Indians or the Chinese from growing....
What you refere to is the west arming India to counter China....but if there is no war, why waste resources to outdo China....we only need to faceoff a smaller enemy ....which means we dont tax our economy as much.....Major gains there and then....
Besides....we are not an export based economy.....our massive internal consumption sustains us......and we are experts in service based industries....We definitely need to improve production....but a combination and balance of the two....will make us even better and stronger!!!
Well, Its not we are friends since 1962. We were the second country to support recognise China in United Nations in 1951 i think and since then we are sharing common interests and good relationships with China
---------
The bottom line is: China and India cannot become an ally at least for now. They will need Natural resources to become super power and for that they will have disputes. Americans would never want to see Indians going in the lap of chinese so they will support India from all doors and make sure that India remains hostile to China so your question is invalid in my eyes and i don't agree with that
WHY ?
