The Beijing-Islamabad axis plays a central role in Asia's
geopolitics, from India's rise to the prospects for a post-American
Afghanistan, from the threat of nuclear terrorism to the
continent's new map of mines, ports and pipelines. China is
Pakistan's great economic hope and its most trusted military
partner; Pakistan is the battleground for China's encounters with
Islamic militancy and the heart of its efforts to counter-balance
the emerging US-India partnership. For decades, each country has
been the other's only 'all-weather' friend. Yet the relationship is
still little understood. The wildest claims about it are widely
believed, while many of its most dramatic developments are hid- den
from the public eye. This book sets out the recent history of
Sino-Pakistani ties and their ramifications for the West, for
India, for Afghanistan, and for Asia as a whole. It tells the
stories behind some of its most sensitive aspects, including
Beijing's support for Pakistan's nuclear program, China's dealings
with the Taliban, and the Chinese military's planning for crises in
Pakistan.It describes a relationship increasingly shaped by
Pakistan's internal strife, and the dilemmas China faces between
the need for regional stability and the imperative for strategic
competition with India and the USA.
