The Sino Pak relationship had always been predominated by great
powers, USA, Soviet Union, United Kingdom and the growing regional
economy India, which had always pressurized Pakistan to keep China
beyond South Asia and Indian Ocean. The mutual understanding has
always been above the change of Geo-Political Scenario Developed in the
World that could not affect mutual geostrategic interests, since we share a
common rival and threat. After the fragmentation of Soviet Union, the
Chinese government took initiative for strengthening economic ties
stabilize relations with New Delhi. Change in Afghanistan brought China
closer to Pakistan as the Sinkiang Autonomous Region, a Muslim Majority
Province flexing muscles for sovereign Muslim State, that seemingly will
remain a gigantic potential challenge eventually take effect from Taliban
uprising.
Chinese’s noninterference policy is much-loved by Islamabad. In
the wake of Indian belligerence persuaded Pakistan that China holds a
polestar position in foreign policy contours and a trustworthy strategic
partner. The American foreign policy to leave Afghan people at the mercy
of none, after 1991, caused a big vacuum to fill up, which stemmed an
unending lengthy civil war by the local warlords aiming at Kabul. There is
an urgent need for American foreign policy makers, to reassess their South
Asia policy. American romanticism with India led the NATO failure in the
fight with Afghans another Blunder on the part of US. Chinese
Development of the Gwadar Seaport a free economic zone, which has
reached to the warm waters of Indian Ocean, as their potential competitor
of the 21 Century USSR, the role of US is being performed by China
