Their insecurity got the better of them, and with what they did with article 370, they have drawn China half way into the conflict. If they openly buy the F-35 and become the sepoys for the west against China, it will spark a revival of a total war mindset in China against India.
Indian troops and merchants were central to China’s century of humiliation. 40% of the foreign troops that sieged Beijing were Indian troops under the British.
The Pakistani establishment (military and financial oligarchs) have to realize that China is willing to support them if they get their acts together; roll back the corruption and let industries and institutions flourish again to be able to challenge India on all fronts. The military domain is not enough o adequately challenge India, it only is a blocking force, holding India down, not going for the decisive moves.
Furthermore, the state officials and business community needs to understand the comprehensive support Chinese industry can give to Pakistan to leapfrog to modern standards. If Pakistan were to operate at modern levels it would naturally produce more for the same inputs and therefore the state could earn more tax while producers would be paying less tax per unit produced. Higher profits and higher taxes. Allowing all to prosper, higher salaries for civil servants and more opportunities (domestically and internationally) for the business class and their families.
This is not to mention Pakistan being able to afford more arms and taking its rightful place in the geo-strategic balance of the region and the world.
So a big lesson of this war is China is willing to help Pakistan if Pakistan is ready to help itself.
