I will try not take an offense but It seems like you have been too influenced by the Pakistani bloggers who are very active in deceiving non Pakistanis about Pakistan due to their political biases. Pakistan's foreign policy would be the same regardless of who'd be in power. But I won't go into the details.
As for Pakistan's economy, yes, it is a shameful mess but perhaps you may want to spend some time in other over populated South Asian countries: They are all the same on the street level: Overpopulated and GDP numbers don't reflect their actual lives.
As to the foreign policy, Pakistan has one foreign policy which is to safeguard its interests against a much larger, richer India. Pakistan sided with the Americans to safeguard its interests when India was in the Soviet block. But also for a quarter century starting 2000, the Americans were trying to make Pakistan an Indian surrogate which the Pakistanis refuse. Think about that! And if today Pakistan and China are aligned then that's because of shared interests and if those are against India then that doesn't make Pakistan a Chinese lackey.
BTW, the remark of 'Iran is Pakistan's strategic depth and Pakistan is Iran's strategic depth' was said by an Iranian journalist on a Pakistani channel once this war began. The journalist also said India will see the consequences of its historic betrayal of Iran once this war settle down and Iran will much more align with Pakistan and China [that was the essence of that journalist's message].
