China backs Pakistan govt after Osama bin Laden's death

[paritosh]

LOL you call $60 billion an "exponential pace"?

Yes, 60 billion may be big to India, it is even enough to make us one of your top trading partners.

However it is pittance to China. Even the trade between mainland China and Hong Kong surpasses 200 billion a year.

C-D if you want to go aorund this forum bullying everyone telling them how great your nation is...it'd make up for a bullshyte discussion...
we have had problems with all our neighbors because when the british left us we had no idea where the borders might lie...we have since then only discussing the finer details...
we did not had the guts that mao's china showed by going for straight-in military assault against other nations...I am quoting Tibet here and taking the example against our annexation of say Goa or Hyderabad...both of which were located deep inside our mainland and ruled or controlled by despots...
Nepal prior to coming under the shadow of Chinese supported maoists...was the friendliest of countries...the maoists view relations with India as secondary to their relations with China for obvious reasons...
SL...has not had a clean sheet...they have had massive human rights violations and we were made the scape-goat for their own mismanaged state of affairs...
same with BD...
you have had problems with Vietnam...taiwan...india...bhutan...philippines...japan...

China urges world to back Pakistan in terror fight

BEIJING: China reaffirmed its support on Thursday for efforts by its ally Pakistan to combat terrorism after the killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden by US forces, and urged the world to help Islamabad.

Foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu stopped short of directly criticising the daring raid by US special forces on Pakistani soil that ended with bin Laden's death but said national sovereignty "should be respected" at all times.

"Pakistan is at the forefront of the international counter-terrorism effort. The international community should understand and support Pakistan," Jiang told a press conference.

"We support Pakistan's position and understand and support Pakistan formulating and implementing a counter-terrorism strategy based on its national conditions."

Since Sunday's raid, Pakistan has been on the defensive over its failure to find bin Laden, who was living in a compound near the country's top military academy in Abbottabad.

Islamabad has rejected those criticisms, with Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani saying that the United States and other countries shared the blame for not finding bin Laden sooner.

Gilani on Wednesday called on the "entire world" to help Pakistan fight terrorism and extremism -- a call quickly answered by its close ally Beijing.

"We believe that terrorism is a public enemy of the international community and the international community should work together to combat the potential terrorist threat," Jiang said.

"A holistic approach should be taken to address the symptoms and causes of terrorism and eliminate the breeding grounds."

Earlier this week, Jiang called the death of bin Laden a "positive development in the international anti-terrorism struggle" but on Thursday, she suggested China did not necessarily approve of US methods.

"We uphold that countries' sovereignty and territorial integrity should be respected," the foreign ministry spokeswoman said.

Islamabad has complained that the US military raid was unauthorised and unilateral, and should not set any precedent, but US President Barack Obama has said he reserves the right to target fugitives in Pakistan in future.

CIA director Leon Panetta said that the United States chose not to alert Pakistan of the operation on its soil for fear that officials may have alerted the Al-Qaeda chief -- evidence of Washington's uneasy ties with Islamabad

excellent insight my friend.

nobody in the world would especially Asia would want to see a destabilized pakistan.

there's is absolutely ZERO chance that the US will walk away from Pakistan. only the "small fishes" in american politics are calling for a disengagement with pakistan. the obama administration, leaders of the house, senates, national security advisers, and basically all the influential think tank all want the US to engage pakistan.

Thank you. I pointed out however that the USA is engaging with Pakistan for its own interests. America has a history of ditching countries or leaders who are no longer "strategic assets" recall. Pakistan is purely a strategic asset in the USA's WOT. The yanks are not dishing out aid to the Pakistanis because they love their Pakistani ally or because they wish to see a stabilised Sth Asia. China's engagement with Pakistan maybe for its own economic growth. However China is also adopting the stance that a stable Pakistan is in the interests of Sth Asia and is encouraging Pakistan on that basis

China is now making more sounds than it ever was...maybe they have found confidence in their growing power and clout...things like this will lead to a show-down with the US sooner or later..

LOL a "showdown" with the US? What a terrible idea.

We are doing so well out of the current economic status quo. Why on Earth would we want a "showdown" with the world's sole superpower?

THANK YOU CHINA FOR YOUR CONTINOUS SUPPORT TO PAKISTAN.

CHINA IS TRULY PAKISTAN'S BEST FRIEND AND CLOSEST ALLY.

Are you bharatis forgetting that China holds trillions of dollars of U.S. debt. If U.S. gives China any problems, then China can simply tell the U.S. to start paying back the trillions of debt, and U.S. can't afford that now when its economy is not doing so well.

Poor China -- Pakistanis appreciate it but feel sorry for the brother ally, China, that it has a friend like this, that brings it nothing but problems.

Exactly...It's a one sided friendship..Pakistan is China's friend only for geo political reasons..nothing that Pakistan can contribute for China..
I m amazed that Chinese value this friendship so much...
P.S-Chinese Dragon will come up with Gwadar Port etc. BS..
