US backs India’s stand in China-Pakistan Economic Corridor

[rambro]

Russia is more like friends of convenience. Before economic sanctions Russians could care less about China

For Iranians you are a large customer - nothing more/nothing less. try intruding in their backyard and see what happens

I concur, it is all about friends with benefits.
China is seen by Russia as more valuable than the entire EU combined. China has a lot to offer in all aspects one can imagine and that gives them a lot of leverage.

However the same cant be said for India not to mention God Modi is increasingly acting as a US proxy.

If doing business means controlling business partners in Indians eyes, China is not only trying to control central Asia, as the world's biggest trading nation, Indians can say that China is trying to control the world.

It's the same strategy used in SCS that made China to speed up OBOR, Imagine if India or USA imposed a trade blockade to Pakistan.it will essentially make Pakistan a landlocked state surrounded by hostile countries.cutting supplies to China.

This shouldn't be surprising , don't be surprised if USA backs Indian sanctions on Pakistan in the future.


Considering you took the effort to search &post memes, one would say burnoil are in order.

Fiction is what your post is termed as. The reality is that China and Pakistan are around you. The U.S. will not do any such thing for India.

The only reason China is valuable is that there are EU sanctions. Russians are white, European and Christian. Russians travel to Rome, Paris and London for their vacations.

USA legitimising Indian stance on CPEC was expected. This will lead to US backing Indian military action in Northern Area.

More steroids being injected in the attack dog.

CPEC passes through disputed territory: USA

WASHINGTON: The Trump administration has informed Congress that it too believes the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) passes through a disputed territory — originally an India claim aimed at thwarting the development plan.

The $56 billion CPEC passes through Pakistan’s northern areas, which India claims is part of the disputed Jammu and Kashmir territory.

“The One Belt, One Road also goes through disputed territory, and I think that in itself shows the vulnerability of trying to establish that sort of a dictate,” US Defence Secretary James Mattis told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Examine: CPEC and Kashmir issue

ARTICLE CONTINUES AFTER AD

Secretary Mattis and Chairman Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen Joseph Dunford appeared before the Senate and House armed services panel earlier this week to brief US lawmakers on the current situation in the Pak-Afghan region.

Secretary Mattis said the US opposed the One Belt, One Road policy in principle because in a globalised world, there were many belts and many roads, and no one nation should put itself into a position of dictating One Belt, One Road. And it opposed the one going through Pakistan also because it passed through a disputed territory.

The new US position on CPEC will further strain already tense relations between the US and Pakistan, which also opposed the greater role Washington has assigned to India in Afghanistan in a strategy President Trump announced on Aug 21.

“As far as Afghanistan goes, as we try to separate out variables where, in some areas, we work with China, for example, terrorism — I think there are areas where we can work — find common ground with China when it comes to counterterrorism, and we should exercise those areas pretty fully,” said the US defence chief.

“But we should be under no illusions,” he warned. “There are areas where, also, strategically, we need to confront China where we think it’s unproductive — the direction they’re going in.”

I guess the Indians get enough of killing the kashmiris they occupy... they want to kill the free kashmiris too!

Ha, I wonder who will surround whome, from ports in iran to economic corridor in Afghanistan , its only a matter of time till the north-south corridor is completed and India starts speeding up the chabahar-zahedan railway link . Once that's done regular Indian bases & military presence in Afghanistan shouldn't be surprising.

Lol do you ever had chance to read Pakistan Nuclear Doctrine?

I would like to see a country attempt nuclear suicide over economic sanctions

Kashmir is a bilateral issue between Pakistan and India.......

 

[Trango Towers]

Give it a try

and you will realize who is the Boss

and who is the used and thrown toilet paper

Well being a subrviant nation of India you have known from conception how to be subservient

America knows once Pakistan starts to earn serious money it will not care for America. Turkey is moving away. Arabs are buys weapons from Russia now. Pakistan already has openly said it's shifting it's focus away from America. Interesting times ahead. Now to the facts.

Neither India not America can stop CPEC but they will b1tch like a girlfriend who isn't getting any

 

[PakSword]

If USA has really said this, we should be really happy:

1 - USA saying this means that Kashmir is no longer a "bilateral issue". It is now a dispute between two countries on which any third country can comment and raise its concerns.

2 - Pakistan should and most definitely will increase its speed of detachment from US. Good for Pakistanis, most of whom already don't see US as a friend. Instead they see US as a foe. Enough with this ally ally bullshit.

3 - US is adding one more country in the region where it will have no or limited say. Other countries include China and Iran.

4 - This is a reassurance to both China and Pakistan that CPEC carries a real strategic importance. If US is concerned, it means CPEC is favorable to China, If India is concerned, it means it is favorable to both Pakistan and China. Both countries will now be more than active on completing and operating the CPEC. The more countries join in, the more will be the impact.

5 - There will be ZERO affect on the plans of development on disputed land, just like US couldn't do shit on other disputed territories if other big powers such as China or Russia are involved. SCS is one such example.

So my advice to our neighbors, calm down, have plenty of water everyday to decrease the risk of dehydration due to jumping up and down..
