BEIJING: China on Tuesday suggested it feared serious instability in Pakistan, and would support the Zardari regime to the hilt. In its zeal to protect Pakistani rulers, China even indicated it would not pressurize Pakistan to hand over the perpetuators of the Mumbai terrorist attack to India.

"Pakistan government is firm in its resolve and strong in action in the fight against terrorism, and made important contribution to the war on terrorism," Chinese foreign ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said during a media briefing.

"We respect, understand and support Pakistan's above position," she said in reply to a question on whether Beijing believed Islamabad's claim that it did not know about the US operations in advance.

But China is still worried there are elements within the Pakistani government that knew about the operations and might have cut a deal with the Americans.

"I believe the Pakistan government did not know about the US operation. But if some people in it knew, it is a dangerous matter. The Pakistan government can even be seized by dangerous groups if such a thing actually happened," Hu Shisheng, deputy director in the State-run Institute of South and Southeast Asian Studies, told TOI.

Asked if China would ask Islamabad to transfer the killers involved in Mumbai attack now that there is proof of intense terrorism in Pakistan, Jiang said, "We uphold principles of non-interference in other's internal affairs. Chinese government will continue to support Pakistan in formulating and implementing anti-terrorist activities based on its national conditions."

The Chinese foreign ministry initially described the US operation as a "milestone and a positive development". But it is also worried about expanding American influence in Pakistan, and wants to stop similar operations happening again.

"We have noted the Pakistan foreign ministry has said after the incident that it will never allow its territory to be used for terrorist activities and terrorist attacks against any country and Pakistan will continue to support the international efforts against terrorism," Jiang said.

China fears the death of bin Laden might spur a fresh wave of terrorist activities that might also affect its own Xingjian province across Pakistani border, which has been the hotbed of a separatist movement. It needs Islamabad to check infiltration of terrorists across the border, and would do what it can to support the regime in Pakistan.

Though it believes in non-interference in internal matters of other countries, China would like to "work with Pakistan, India and other South Asian countries to maintain peace and harmony in South Asia," she said.

Exactly right. :cheers:

The rest of this article, from the "Times of India", is ridiculous as usual though.
 
"work with Pakistan, India and other South Asian countries to maintain peace and harmony in South Asia,"

This sentence is more important. Do not worry Pakistani friends, to properly deal with the internal, as external, China will support it.
 
China says Pakistan made "important contributions" to international fight against terrorism

BEIJING, May 3 (Xinhua) -- China on Tuesday said Pakistan has made "important contributions" to the fight against terror worldwide following the U.S. announcement of Osama bin Laden's death.

"We noticed that the Pakistani Foreign Ministry has pledged not to allow its territory to be used for terrorist attacks against any country and it will continue to support the world's anti-terror efforts," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Jiang Yu told a regular media briefing.

Jiang said the south Asian country is at the anti-terror front-line, and its anti-terror resolve is unwavering and its action powerful.

China holds that all countries should institute their own anti-terror strategies and carry them out according to their domestic situation and in line with the United Nations Charter and other broadly-recognized international laws and codes.

"So, China will continuously and firmly support Pakistan to lay out and implement anti-terror strategies based on its own domestic situation," she said.

Labelling terrorism "the common enemy of the international community," Jiang said China, like the United States, has been the victim of terrorism.

"China and the United States, like other countries, share common interests in the fight against terrorism and thus have maintained sound cooperation," she said.

China has always opposed all forms of terrorism and has actively been participating in global anti-terrorism efforts, she said.

"China upholds that the international community should step up cooperation in working together to fight terrorism," said Jiang.

"China believes that it is necessary to seek both a temporary solution and a permanent cure in fighting terrorism and to make great efforts to eliminate the soil on which terrorism relies on to breed," she said.

She also said China would work with all south Asian states, including Pakistan and India, to jointly safeguard peace in the region.

at time like this china must gives pakistan all the support they need.
 
Well its good you have China CAUSE I THINK THE USA will not be too happy or friendly with Pak ISI & ARMY they must be sick death of the lies and constant embarressing links to Taliban.

The Americans have supported Pakistan with Arms & money for 10 years. AND LOOK wat happens OBL lives next to ISI head quarters and a military school.

Pakistan will need more than CHINA if it is to survive and grow in the future.
 
However, Pakistan need get rid of those terrorists for its own sake.

In addition, China will pursue those uighur terrorists in her highest capacity if some of them slip through the border into Pakistan.

If Pakistan has any doubts about the Mumbai terrorists attack, it can simply raise the issue with India. However, if Pakistan acknowledges that it is really a terrorist attack and those terrorists have slipped into Pakistan, I think Pakistan should try its best to capture them and hand them over to India.

I think Pakistan expects the same in return if terrorists have done the same and escaped into other countries.
 
They probably want to those "stealth chopper" remains.


Do you know what is an even bigger joke?

Indians asking us for help again... :rofl:

Chinese government will continue to support Pakistan in formulating and implementing anti-terrorist activities based on its national conditions."

India, the same country that has hosted our biggest separatist group for over half a century.

Yet they keep whining to us for help. Infrastructure help, help with getting a UNSC permanent seat, blah blah blah. And now this BS about Mumbai as well.
