And let me add. If Pakistan's government wasn't a vasal of the US, which during Imran Khan was lessening (hence the coup against him), it could do great business with China. Build the sorely needed infrastructure, industrialize to get the 250 million hard working people some badly needed jobs etc., and thereby slowly loosen it's vasal status of the West. At the end, the West will tear apart Pakistan very easily, it's just not Pakistan's turn. Sadly the bought and paid for military leaderships stops better cooperation with China and keeps the course: little pocket change by Arabs and little arms aid by the US, while the country has 0 development.
