None of the above explain the fact that Chinese Market is already available to Russia...Anyways I am sure CPEC will bring in prosperity in Pakistand and wish you good luck however Please understand CPEC is not the only trade route in the world...We are crediting too much to it...CPEC will not turn every country upside down...
And why do you think Chinese didn't intervene earlier?? Why it took them two years to get the approval...was chinese success story not relevant in 2007?? You are crediting too much to China and discrediting New Delhi a tad more than required...
Of-course however only when someone can replace that pie...Please tell me who in this world today can do that?? Just to give an example we have inked $30 billon deals with Russians just from 2009-2013...here is an article from 2015

Now here's the point...nothing to be proud of however we are worlds largest arms producer...with our growing economy our needs in defence are going to increase...which in turn means more spending on imports...Any person with even a naive business sense would know that this is not the time to leave India...Do you agree?? If yes, then please give us a bit more leverage than saying we are in no position to tell russia about not dealing with Pakistan...
Strategic alliance in this part are going to be inked by loosing a key and friendly strategic player in South Asia?? Look i am not saying Russians won't do business with Pakistan...however not at the level you guys are thinking...Anything that is going to directly threaten us is not going to be taken lightly by GOI and Russians know this very well...especially in today's world when they no longer have monopoly on our defense needs...
Buddy let me make a request...stay away from these so called think tanks...we have enough of buffoons on our side and you have fair number at your side as well...Seems like chinese are feeling a little left out....
Now here is the point...did you see any Chinese involvement in kargil war?? Did you see any movement during 2002 face off?? 71 was no different either...so there is a decent history to prove it otherwise....now let's logically think...If hostilities break out b/w us then expect tons and tons of Ammo/logistics and what not from them...but that's about it...They have to be utter idiot to get into a war and risk their hard won prosperity and that too in a war which has the potential to go nuclear...Also when China intervene what do you think US/Japan and rest of the lot would do?? So let me make it clear...India Pakistan are going to duke it out all by themselves...World powers will make sure status quo won't change...and that's about it...
