In an alternate reality where Pakistanis were not a radicalized mess and backed Musharraf in the WOT and backed NATO on the Eastern front for a resounding victory over the Afghan Pashtuns
Pakistan is not an ally to anyone. They backed themselves into isolation and loan shark China gave them an offer they couldn't refuse to the most corrupt politicians Pakistan has ever produced , quickly pushing it through with backhanders of cash and claiming Gwadar and putting Pakistan balls deep in debt to the red dragon and destroying local manufacturers by pumping cheap Chinese goods into the country. Now Pakistan goes around the world and tells everyone how great China is with CPEC like a dancing monkey on a ball and chain.
