India asks China to stop work in Pakistani Kashmir

[damiendehorn]

Lot of water has flown in Indus since this picture was made.

Bangladesh, SriLanka and Maldives have moved closer to India while Myanmar has moved from being an ally of China to being Neutral. Only the upgrade in relationship with Pakistan has been a plus for China.

China's supremacy in Indian ocean is not dependent on Gwadar but on the amount of influence it would have on the Kra canal in Thailand.

Moved closer to india? Doubtful, were just looking after our own interests. China is still far more important then india to us, infact Japan, the US and the EU are more impotant. China is a bigger trading partner, and our main weapon supplier...etc.....please dont confuse our differences with pakistan with our relations with china.

True. Historically, Thailand had close relations with US but since the coup in 2014, Chinese-Thai relations went for a huge upgrade. India too has upgraded its relations with Thailand apart of BIMSTEC.

I see a pattern here. Myanmar's army regime is also closer to China than India. Whereas the democratic government is more leaning towards the West and India.

So are you implying that Democratic Pakistan is closer to US/India while Military ruled Pakistan is closer to China?

Nice observation. Yes, this is certainly the case to a certain extent.

And that will suddenly spook China into withdrawing? China sees Taiwan and Japan as bigger threats than they do India.

China won't stop work, just because India is pissed off. They've continued their plans in the SCS, despite US naval patrols, what makes you think India would have any real affect on Beijing's decision making?

Well, China wont Stop, but china cannot able to stop others also. Right Now , Forces are combining around SCS, India has some of the most powerful ships in Asia.

For China which they called Destroyers , India called them Frigates.

The biggest fear of Chian is , India joining and which encircle China completely.
