The bottom line is, even if India never existed, China and Pakistan would still be partners. China would still be trying to get Gwadar port, in order to bypass the Malacca straits.

India is unlikely to use trade as a bargaining chip because the interest of the elite trumps the interest of the state and a drop in trade means a drop in their income.
No one except Indian members in this forum will waste a thread on it.
