Sino-Pak Geo- Strategic Interdependence: Post 9/11
Abstract
Chinese President Xi Jinping referred to China’s partnership with Pakistan as “higher than the mountains, deeper than the oceans, sweeter than honey.” Pakistan-China relations are usually described by ‘Two Alls’ and ‘Four Goods.’ The ‘Two Alls’ are ‘all-weather friendship’ and ‘all-round cooperation’ and ‘Four Goods’ includes good neighbours, good friends, good partners, and good brothers. To understand Sino-Pak-China relations, it is essential to confer the determinants and the environment that led to the consolidation of their strategic interdependence in the post 9/11 period. This research study has employed the qualitative method in which secondary sources of data have taken from existing literature, published and unpublished research works and primary data was collected by conducting interviews of International Relations experts’ to analyze the factors behind Sino-Pak geo-strategic interdependence in the post 9/11 period. It focuses on China’s importance and engagement in the emerging dynamics of South Asia, especially India’s efforts for regional superiority and its partnerships with major powers, particularly with the US. The outcome of discussion reflects that in the post 9/11 period, the Indo-US strategic cooperation added new dimensions to the China and Pakistan partnership
