'India blocking China's entry into SAARC to retain supremacy'

[WAJsal]

SAARC is a group of south asian countries so where is the question of chinese entry? if everybody is offerred the membership than lets US and France to be the members also.

china is almost linked to all SAARC nations and can benefit us all,

 

[he-man]

we have to

I agree u have to but the biggest benefit will be trade with india as people use similar commodities so its way easier and transportation is easier too.

What 'benefit'? How come you guys talk of 'benefits'. Should aloo, gobi, mutter be imported to India or not itself is a debate that you can't settle. The economic impact of that will be 100 times greater that anything you get from China entering SAARC, and instead of that you are playing 'grand games'. Chinese must be laughing- ye dekho kaise bawle log hain, instead of going after real 'benifits', they'll do anything to please us.

But again, what exactly is wrong with having China become a member of SAARC, aside from the weak arguments over "South Asia"?

As the author in the OP pointed out, China is geographically adjacent to existing SAARC nations and therefore her inclusion would not impact geographical continuity in the SAARC economic bloc.

Pakistan is a misfit in SAARC. Pakistan's natural allies are to the North and West. It has nothing or should have nothing to do with South Asia.

go cry over your former Indian leaders who agreed to it during the founding of SAARC

No. Tibet is adjacent to South Asia. Not China.

It suited you then. Now it does not suit you. If you are fine with it, I won't have any. I am a nobody here.

we dont really need to take the amount of loan our govt takes,for eg they use the money of metros and unnecessary project,as for what we need is work on education and health sector,for which we dont need to take much loan,then again its PK.

SAARC will work even better and for its name sake benefit the most by including China
its not UN security council for goodness sake.
its all about business and progress.

Then why is sharif blocking all the agreements??
Is pakistan now towing chinese line?

 

[AgNoStiC MuSliM]

No. Tibet is adjacent to South Asia. Not China.

Tibet is considered part of China by the majority of the international community, and even the Dalai Lama has changed his position to now arguing for autonomy for TIbetans as part of China.

In addition, China has contiguous borders with Pakistan and Afghanistan as well, with the Karakoram highway already serving as an existing land based trade corridor between China and Pakistan.

Next excuse please.

Which is precisely why China is not coming. All SA countries are apprehensive about it(Pakistan is not SA). An economic coalition is a different thing. A SAARC membership means political compromises as well. So...sorry.

What exactly are these apprehensions that "all SA countries excluding Pakistan" have about China joining SAARC?

No infra is unnecessary.
