China Warns U.S.: 'Any Attack on Pakistan Would Be Construed As an Attack on China.

[Stuge]

In an analysis titled "A Looming Super Power Clash Triggered by Pakistan" (published on February 15, 2011), we pointed out to the rapidly growing danger of a U.S.-Pakistan clash which will involve – in addition to the Unite States, China and Pakistan – India, Russia, NATO powers, and other powers in the region.[1] In the past few months, the U.S.-Pakistani relations further deteriorated into an open sabotage of the CIA work in Pakistan by the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). On May 17-20, 2011, this process took an escalating turn with the visit of Pakistani Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani to China. The China visit was described by Pakistan's Information and Broadcasting Minister Dr. Firdous Ashiq Awan as "historical" and one that "would certainly open a new chapter in China-Pakistan relations under the new international environment and historical conditions."[2] Gilani's four-day China visit acquired an unprecedented international importance in the wake of the May 2, 2011, killing of Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden in a U.S. operation in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad. Pakistani leaders saw bin Laden's killing in a unilateral U.S. operation as a violation of Pakistan's sovereignty and national dignity, while U.S. politicians and media suspected that there was complicity on the part of the Pakistani military's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in providing the Al-Qaeda leader with a safe hideout for years in Abbottabad, right next to a Pakistani military academy. Amid this explosive situation, the Gilani visit was seen as a move to protect Pakistan from possible measures taken by the U.S. against it and to undercut the U.S. and Indian influence in the region, which is perceived by Pakistan as a years-long threat to Pakistan's national security. While Pakistan and China have been long-standing allies, a fundamental shift can now be observed in their strategic relationship, which is characterized by bolstering their military and other relations and by the huge rupture in Pakistani-U.S. relations. This analysis reviews the multi-dimensional elements of the rapidly growing alignment of Pakistan with China to face an anticipated stand-off – and even an open armed clash – with the U.S./India.

I think the author is taking some Chinese official's words out of context. No Chinese official in his right mind would say something so stupid.

^ Dude, its an ego clash. China is on a mission to say "NO" to anything US says "YES" to. Muscle-flexing et al. On topic, this doesn't surprise me at all. But lets hope the Pakistanis aren't stupid to believe that the Chinese are friends. We saw how "Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai" went.

Pakis responded to it by saying "Any attack on terrorists anywhere in the world would be an attack on Pakistan". :hysterical:

China will always prop up Pakistan - that is the geopolitical reality. Pakistan is a very effective foil against India, just like North Korea is against South Korea and Japan. A nuclear weapons state which has the capability of forming a formidable ally in case of a widespread conflict. In fact, over the years China has evolved its relationship with Pakistan just like it has with North Korea. It has bailed NK out of UN resolutions and will do so for Pakistan too. It will prop up the weapon infrastructure to make sure Pakistan has an effective deterrent. However, it will NOT provide economic assistance. Pakistan remaining economically poor but militarily strong is an advantage for China so it wont take any special steps to alter the situation. China will also not get into a India-Pakistan conflict. It has not done so in the past and will not do so in the future. In the scenario of a bigger war not limited to India-Pakistan alone, I have no doubt that Pakistan and china will fight together

Chiina never sent a single solider in any war the Paks fought against India. They only wish to have a proxy against India in Pakistan. Similar to North Korea irritating South Korea and Japan. Pakistanis are fools if they think the Chinese like them!
