#1 China should never forget that they told the US the same about Binny as they are China about the Uighurs...

Snakes and ankle bites and all that jazz.

#2 "China's enemy..." > read, INDJUH + JAPAN.

IMO Nuke-armed Pakistan = Nuke wannabe Iran = prefer to stay on the Media, Geopol defensive for time being - the real crux is what shennanigans the Hard Boyz will initiate agz India.

#4 Pakis and ChiComs...I can't think of two groups of people more deserving of each other. Hey, throw in the Soddies and you have a threesome. Good for them.

#5 china probably sees Pakistan as a market for Chinese goods (as well as help with the Uighur problem)

China will likely be sorely disappointed on both these issues.

Pakistan will only be able to purchase Chinese products by current account deficits and will try to get the Chinese to finance this.

As for the Uighurs, Pakistan will likely have about as much success in this as they have with other groups of this nature.

The Saudis, on the other hand, have already poured huge resources into Pakistan, mainly the funding of mosques and madras. The more Islamic Pakistan has become, the more violence has resulted and the more suffering.

#6 The Chinese and Paks have been "business" parners for decades. They get a lot of their military hardware from them.

#7 Hope the Chicoms have plenty of engineers to throw into the breech. Paks are rough on Chinese engineers.
