I'm not sure either. There is why I am asking Roma.One could have commented if one knew who was Mr N.

Exactly. That is what I had said earlier in this thread.I do not understand what's enviable in the relationship between Pakistan and China, when it's just a mirror image of China's relationship with North Korea. If at all, China has never come to the rescue of Pakistan when the country needed it most.. for eg Kargil or humiliating 1971 war that dismembered the country or the misadventure of 1965. If China did not help Pakistan even when it was about to lose its more populous half, what kind of all-weather friendship are you trumpeting about?
I can recall the fanfare with which Zardari went to Beijing soon after he assumed office with Pakistani media speculating on a huge financial package to haul the country out of its economic quagmire. And China promised little and delivered even less.
Pakistan is like a leech on the hide of the dragon and the relationship is a highly unequal one with little benefit for China. It must be countenancing this minor nuisance only because of the imaginary necessity of having to use the Gwadar port which in a warlike situation would in any case be rendered useless by mines and marauding Indian subs.
Chinese trade with Pakistan is minuscule compared its trade with India or Japan. In that case also there is nothing unique in the relationship.
Pakistan is the only country willing to tickle PRC's ego. Nobody else really goes overboard to please the leaders of the PRC.
The thread title is ridiculous. As if India "envies" Pak-PRC friendship. Utter hogwash, I must say. Let Pakistan and PRC keep on dancing Tango. India is glad it doesn't have to be like either party. PRC matters only because it is a powerful military and economic power, but PRC isn't the most liked kid in the block.
Well, if not China , India may acted differently after 2008 Mumbai attacks.I do not understand what's enviable in the relationship between Pakistan and China, when it's just a mirror image of China's relationship with North Korea.

The 2008 build up was more a tactical saber-rattling than anything else. If India did indeed want war at that juncture, it could have been easy for India to precipitate a localised skirmish at any point on the border away from areas where China could have intervened. Even a naval skirmish was possible if India really wanted that.Well, if not China , India may acted differently after 2008 Mumbai attacks.
PRC would not intervene directly. If they do, it would bring the US into the picture, fearing a nuclear catastrophe, and voila!The 2008 build up was more a tactical saber-rattling than anything else.

Of course, with the benefit of hindsight, we can postulate what could or could not have happened with no way to verify whose view is right.
Dear Farhan, point noted.
India accepts friendship b/w China and Pakistan.
Happy?
What is there to envy?Title - enviable friendship between China and Pak.
Pls explain this statement.Well, if not China , India may acted differently after 2008 Mumbai attacks.
