Growing regional cooperation: Will the USA be driven out of South Asia?

The twenty-first-century international relations are going to be multi-polar, where not one but many actors will be shaping the world order. The present wave of regionalization to counter the containment policy of the USA is, undoubtedly, a verification of this statement. The trio of Beijing, Moscow, and Islamabad is the best manifestation. These three actors have many interests intertwined together as well as common enemies. Frederick Nietchze once said the enemy of an enemy is the best weapon; the bedrock of this triangle has a common enemy – the hegemonic policies of the USA.

The Chinese long-term plans
China is preparing for a global world order where globalization is more democratic and economics is more sustainable.

China has emerged as the second most powerful economy in the world. The rise of China is a serious damage to Wolfowitz doctrine that was designed after the Cold War to prevent any other hegemonic actor in the global politics. Besides, the Strait of Malacca is surrounded by US fleets, making China’s position more precarious in the South China Sea. America is no more willing to bear China’s elegant aggression in this region. The South China Sea is, undoubtedly, a strategic asset for both states.

China is making her strong presence in the Indian Ocean so that it has a safe route for the trade. Gwadar is the best option for Beijing because it is located at the nexus of West, South, and Central Asia. Moreover, it will also provide a strong base to China in the Arabian Sea to contain both India and the USA. The recent maritime nuclearization of the Indian Ocean tells volume about the significance of OBOR and perpetual rivalry between the two world powers. In addition, the route will link China to CARs, Europe, and Africa. In a nutshell, China is preparing for a global world order where globalization is more democratic and economics is more sustainable.

Sino-Russian relations
Russia knows that Europe is no more willing to ease the economic sanctions, thus it moves towards Asia.

The wave of sanctions on Russia by the West has pushed her into an alliance with China. India, on the other hand, has also disappointed Russia on many fronts, for example, Delhi is making dozens of strategic and defense pacts with the USA. Although experts in America view the relation between China and Russia as a marriage of alliance and beyond some significant gains, this relation is evolving day by day. Russia is willing to diversify its market and China is the only state that can help her.

China wants less influence of the USA in Asian security and Russia is an old foe of US expansionist designs, so both have a single enemy to contain. By and large, Russia knows that Europe is no more willing to ease the economic sanctions, thus it moves towards Asia. The G-8 and Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) are the new institutions towards which Moscow is moving. Furthermore, Russia wants a stable and peaceful Central Asia. The growing scourge of terrorism is a real threat for Russia as well. In order to make these states prosperous, a robust economy is needed. This can only be possible by connectivity.

Pakistan strong in regional cooperation
Russia, Pakistan, and China have a common goal: to attain connectivity and to fight the hybrid war that is being unleashed on them by the USA and her allies.

self congratulatory article at best.
whats funny is that among the three, there is only one superpower. the other is a constricted nation and the last one is a plot of real estate recently being developed for strategic reasons by the superpower among the trio.
Since, its only China which can pull some weight, the others can barely manage themselves. relations between the draggers and china is more of convenience, lack of options and not by choice.
The only way US can be given a credible threat if India and Japan joins the alliance; but knowing india's greed for newer tech and japan's historically strained relations with China will always negate any chance of such an alliance.
Sigh.
NB: I admire US for its strength.

To throw out this poison China and russia should be utilized for asian countries security.
And for this the china and russia should jump out that America should not interfere in asian countries or otherwise face the circumstances.

its not possible actually.
the relations between china, russia n the US had been changing since the 50s.
when russia tried at the heart of cold war, pakistanis ensured US presence in this region.
now its in india's interest to keep US tied in here and russia n china can do no more than growling.
of course india, china, russia and the US continue to have solid trade relations with each other.
jeopardizing this balance for the sake of some individual behind a computer will be preposterous, not to mention the chaos that will follow.
status quo is the requirement of the hour.

Self-serving is more like it. India is barely mentioned except as an aside. As if China-Pakistan-Russia nexus can push US out of the region given the growing Indo-US relations on all fronts. Sorry, but US is here to stay in South Asia, one way or the other.

Growing regional cooperation: Will the USA be driven out of South Asia?

Won't be driven out of South Asia per say but the American influence over Pakistan has massively diminished. Pakistan isn't really South Asia in the true sense of the word anyway. There is however a growing american indian alliance.

american influence was bound to lessen over the years. reason being their use of pakistan is nearing end, and add to that the insensitivity of their handling of the situation (read drone attacks). things would have been the same if china didnt have the brilliant idea of CPEC, so you see the influence which US had over pak is being replaced by the chinese influence.
the only thing remained the same is that pak's influence on the other two is very little compared to what other two are enjoying over pak.
however, CPEC would bring stability in pakistan in contrast to what US was doing.
however, in both the cases you lose your sovereignity.

That's another indian myth that Pakistan is losing it's sovereignty. If anything CPEC and other similar related ventures have in fact strengthened Pakistan's sovereignty and overall power. China has always had a positive effect on Pakistan wheras the americans have always been a poison to us.

Hopefully I m wrong. Let's hope for a better future, for the whole region.
After all, from mountains of Peshawar to the banks of Irrawaddy, we are connected in some way or the other. Plain geography.
Hence, we should better put our focus on our respective countries, and a little less focus on the ones from outside.
Well all the best.

Military cooperation is more important than relay on trade.
Lets see what is about to happen.
Latest pentagon refuse to send 4000 troops.
What you more deserving their people has come to known that for the last 15 to 10 years CIA kill his soldiers for fake achievements either it is in iraq Afghanistan or whatever.

I can seem to understand what u wrote in ur last sentence. Pls explain. Thanks.
I am sorry that u think military over trade relations.
You see, in peace or war, ordinary folks get frugged....but they don't know how or when they will be frugged . In peace they know, so they can prepare for the frogging and prosper a little.
