#5 Let's say the Pakis stage another mass casualty event, but instead of killing a few hundred people, they end up killing tens of thousands. Why would China want to be on the hook for defending Pakistan, during the ensuing Indian attacks on Pakistan? What if everybody else jumps in on India's side? Bottom line, the asylum inmates that that comprise the vast majority of Pakistan's population won't obey Chinese diktats, and are fundamentally contemptuous of their pork-eating and alcohol-swilling yellow neighbors. And that is why the Chinese will not commit to a mutual defense treaty.

#6 There's also the issue of the Pakis being a nest of vipers that cannot be trusted to avoid attacking China, much as they conspired with al Qaeda and the Taliban to stage 9/11, despite decades of American civilian and military aid.

#7 It's kinda sorta like when a stripper has a fight with her boyfriend and wants to sleep on your couch. There may be some short-term advantages, but you know it is not going to last, and not likely to end well.

As long as she ponies up for the steam cleaning when she leaves.
