Siachen control gives India proximity to a very critical Sino-Pakistani highway...
sorry mate, it doesn't the strategical Pakistan-china road link known as the Karakorum highways is located quite faraway north west from the siachen glacier the area is extremely well guarded & quite deep inside gilgit-baltistan area in fact its very close to the pak-afghan-china border triangle in the Khunjerab Pass area of gilgit-baltistan
It connects China and Pakistan across the Karakoram mountain range, through the Khunjerab Pass, at an altitude of 4,693 m/15,397 ft as confirmed by both SRTM and multiple GPS readings.[2] It connects China's Xinjiang region with Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

the red line going from gilgit baltistan to china is the Pakistan-China Karakorum highway
