Pakistan has indirectly refused to allow China to establish an air and sea military base in Gwadar.

The Pakistani military and senior government leaders have repeatedly stated on different occasions that they will not allow foreign troops to establish military bases in Pakistan. Obviously, this means that China is not allowed to establish military bases in Pakistan as well.

As a staunch ally of Pakistan, China has established China's first military base overseas in Djibouti, Africa. The People’s Liberation Army’s support base in Djibouti is the first overseas base of the Chinese PLA. It is a port-type comprehensive support base. It is mainly used for replenishment of the army and naval forces, and provides logistical support for the Navy’s Gulf of Aden escort and African peacekeepers. The base joint advance group consists of officers and men of the Army.

The first contract is 10 years, and China needs to pay $21 million to Djibouti per year as a lease fee.

Although China has other potential options, including Kenya, Seychelles, Maldives, Sri Lanka, etc., Pakistan is the country with the best relations with China. Pakistan refuses to allow China to establish an air and sea military base in Gwadar, making it lost every year more than $20 million in revenue (which is believed to be paid $30 million to Pakistan each year) also may cast doubts on China’s status as an ally of Pakistan.

The Chinese side does not mind Pakistan's establishment of a reciprocal military base in China.

Lol, if CPEC plan actually gets realized, and Pakistan becomes the primary gateway of Chinese trade and commerce from Middle East and beyond—guess what?

Pakistan itself will become the “supply line” of China. Who in their right mind will ever attack the “supply lines” of the most major global economic and military power in coming decades?

The window is closing and indians (irrelevant) and “others” (more relevant) know this too.

Pakistan will literally become invincible to any foreign invasion if CPEC realizes its true goal in next 2 decades.

China has multiple supply lines. Pakistan is the cheapest quickest route. Unlike Pakistan China doesn't put all her eggs in the same basket.

Military cooperation or a military pact does not mean we have military bases on each others land.
Our defence pact with China does not include any such requirement, and these statements are only made to negate the propaganda which is spread by media houses.

China doesn't need that naval base. Pakistan Navy is already there and PLAN can reach in no time, in case of an emergency.

I do not see any problem in defence cooperation agreements including intelligence sharing, joint operation, providing logistic facilities at ports and airports, may even extend to a small base. We are friends with aligned national interest, should cooperate. US wont approve of it but do we still analyze that while making our foreign policy? I don't think so!! The events of past year or so have clarified that US and Pakistan are no longer close allies, if US want to have a say in whether we give Chinese a base or not, they should start acting as allies.

@araz @Rashid Mahmood @HRK what do you people think?

I think Pakistan should allow Chinese Naval/Air base in Gawadar...this is not to say that Pakistan shouldn't strive to strengthen its own forces for its defense...of course that also needs to happen

With the Chinese presence however, it will intertwine China/Pak combo even more so...for India to worry about. In effect it will serve as a deterrent(much like the nukes)...it will hold India at bay if it seems likely that an attack on one would likely invoke a response from both China and Pak. Chinese Naval presence in the Indian Ocean would also be an additional worry for IN...in short the more the enemy is bogged down the better.

Why do we need to build a military base? It is an important economic port, there are many choices around.

The military collaboration between Pakistan and China, as well as the strong presence of the Chinese military in Pakistan is so powerful and all pervasive is their any need for a Chinese military base in Pakistan? In effect there is already one here but it has not been officially acknowledged.

 

[Imtiaz Hassan]

Pakistan should have military bases in countries of our strategic interests.

Any particular country in mind?

We can have strategic defence pact which will allow Chinese bros to operate from our facility in case of war .
But no military bases in pakistan even for turkey.

I think there is already unofficial presence of Chinese troops in Pakistan.

Any particular country in mind?

Many to be truthful.

Pakistan is a country of 220 Million People. It has a clout over much of the World. It should be recognized through its military presence.

 

[Mrc]
