It should be a last resort (my opinion strictly). The pseudo-fascist state has been increasingly belligerent with their threats , who knows maybe we will be compelled to sign such an agreement in the not too distant future ?
Yes last resort no doubt .But joining any block is fast becoming a reality , as you can't stand on two boat ( China and USA ) together at a time.
You see another cold war already started, and in the long run south China sea will be the center of power struggle.
Myanmar will actually work as the Chinese direct route to the bay of Bengal.
And Bangladesh can act as a hedge against India if necessary. Bangladesh is such a hedge that will prevent India send logistics through the sea and India can't send necessary logistics through the chicken neck aka shiliguri corridor to hold the seven sisters.
If Bangladesh China and Pakistan are in the same block , then India can never annex any part of Bangladesh , as a force movement in Pakistan border
is enough for India to withdraw any force that is advancing to Dhaka . China even don't have to move a muscle to aid Bangladesh, as this block is already serving through the military arremgmet in Pakistan border.
At the same time,
if any massive troop India arrange to Pakistan border , we also can arrange troops in Indian eastern border,
so that India will be compelled to reduce pressure in Pakistani border .
So Pakistan and Bangladesh can help each other (
in Chinese block ) and also both nation can focus on economy alongside military.
And China will be protecting its allies in in security council using veto!
So USA block shall not harm us.
And since India will never get out from it's super power delusion , so we can always stay in Chinese block.
Win win situation for all of the members of the block.
India exactly don't want to join us in Chinese block ( look a sanghi is hilariously trying to convince people) , as it will be a serious threat to expansionist sanghiland aka Akhanda Bharat dream.
Because China , Bangladesh Pakistan alliance will literally encircle India and the result will ,India will lost control on NE India, if literally any war break out against Chinese allies.
Also if the block forms , India will no longer remain in the position of dadagiri in Bangladesh.
