Pakistan is even more important than any other Chinese neighbors. What will you do if USA closes Malacca strait? Indonesia is an sneaky country just like SK.
What i am talking about is what thinktanks of other countries discuss prior to considering alliances.
Pakistan is mature enough to defend itself and a united nation, my point was indirectly pointing to KSA. How can they fully switch sides while knowing the fact that USA will always be there to rebuke them?
KSA is most important part of Islamic world. If you have them, you will have sympathy of 2 billions Muslims. Even if we hate Sauds, because of Hijaz, we always wish peace for that land. Just imagine the gravity
I promise you if Iran had military capabilities that China currently possesses beside its large economy and disciplined manpower, USA was removed from the whole of Asia by now.
China's hesitance and tend to making useless deals with west is a never ending cycle of making mistrusts.
With a railroad from Pakistan to Chinese mainland carrying oil of middle east, China can tighten its energy belt and make itself most trustworthy ally. Not through making deal with Trump.
It requires independent currency, independent payment system and an strong military alliance with countries of middle east, but instead, China plays **** games with Trump.
No offense, but it's the way to completely surrounding of China mainland. Your countryman posted an article showing US withdrawal from delivering billions worth of weapons to Taiwan. What it means, China has made a deal with the US behind the closed doors. At least for an outsider like me.
And its political signal is even worse.
Communist system is a joke honestly. While hosting Musk and making Chinese workforce the underpaid soldiers of AngloSaxon economy that eventually leads to US dominance in global economy, they ignore Trump's threat.
As you know, China is a friend of middle eastern countries. But when this friendship starts to become strategic and a cause for independence from west, USA shows us its military might. Same they did with Russia in Europe.
While you dream of uniting Europe, Asia and the whole world against the US, NAZIs regroup in Europe and Taiwan covertly receives US assurances.
China's sinusoid Ups and downs historically is not because of weakness but only wishful thinking of its elites.
Honestly, ,,,,,,
