similarly no one can dictate Pakistan's attitude towards bhartis not US not even China, we can do anything to protect our interests against bhartis, if this mean saying no to China, we will not hesitate a second.
so again why would China suggest this shitty idea they simply not need us for trade with india as you pointed? how Pakistan is dependent on China? We are not taking aids... For weapons and loans?
anyways CPEC is not my priority, Two things were stoping Pakistan's rapid growth first was law and order and second was energy crisis, both are in control now, Wall street journal reported few days ago that loadshedding will end by nexy year.. I think Now no one can stop us from growing above 7%.. CPEC and controling corruption will be icing on cake.
bravado is fine. reality is different.

Who is going to block India's NSG membership for you ?

I say we ask for settling Kashmir issue. It has been worked out already during Musharraf's time I guess.
you asked Uncle Sam to mediate. that did not work out. It is not clear why China would succeed where USSR and USA failed
