Saddam also knows this well. Looks like Pakistan has complete confidence in China??
This move benefits only China because they can print as much of their own currency as they want and it is not backed in the real world by any real commodity. If one has US dollar reserves, they can buy stuff from all over the world. What does Pakistan get from stocking up on Chinese currency? which country, other than China, can they use this currency?

Pakistani Jernails will have to start sending their kids to Chinese universities and buying mansions in China.

What I'm more worried about is the impending Chinese debt balloon. Should the Chinese manage to make the Yuan a viable alternative to the USD or the Euro, then they will either manage to keep minting money and churn their growth engines or drag much of the world with them into a post-depression nightmare.

And we all know what a desperate autocrat does to keep its populace from agitating.

People who don't know facts talk in fantasy....one of this fantasy talk is that US dollar is going to go down. Reality is that US dollar is going to remain supreme at least as long as members of DFI are alive. (means in our lifetime) Paki pipe dreams of China pulling Paki up is utter nonsense...For next 50 years, China will not be equal to USA.
If USA plays its cards right by India, japan, So Korea, Asean nations on its side...forget 50 years...it will take China 1000 years to reach equal to US.
Modi govt. is playing the cards right because they know the reality and also know that Paki is going to go down continuously in a slow motion decline. It is USA which keeps giving Paki economy oxygen to survive.

Everyday these crooks get humiliated.

Interestingly they know from within, actually openly admit on their Urdu debates about their character of back stabbing everyone. The conviction they cry victim is nothing but super fun to watch.

For getting answers to your question look in hindsight 70 yrs back. It was the precise reason the former superpower created Pakistan out of India. Cold war between UK, USA vs UsSR had already started by mid of WWII. And UK did not want India directly accessible to Central Asia. So they planted the Pak state in between and cut off access of India to Afghanistan. The kingdom where British were defeated. That is the reason Pak finds itself buyers who are willing to rent her services for their own strategic interest.
True.

This will change with the shift in economic realities. As the UK weakens, it will resort to selling out some of the strategic advantages it has cultivated over the century, in exchange for extending their illusion of being a world power for a few more years. That is why they cultivated it. There is no use holding on to it without encashing it.

If the US becomes too pro-Pakistan and starts getting too much strategic foothold in the region, putting the UK at a disadvantage on the negotiating table when it comes to exploiting the spoils of war, then the UK will start playing spoilsport to prevent the US from making any gains unless they let the UK have their share.

India can find wriggling room here.

If, hypothetically, the UK finds a buyer for their military equipment in say, Kazakhstan, to earn some foreign currency and influence in that strategic region close to Russia and China, and if they realize that they can manufacture in India and send the equipment across, then magically they will start supporting connectivity between India to central Asia.

Probably the first official statement from the Pak Govt !

============
I think their foreign minister has also commented earlier.

Yesterday Pakistan summoned the US ambassador and lodged a formal protest.

They have been making noises from all sides.

Trump will only raise statements and cut of economic funding. As long as US has no direct route to afghanistan, they cannot do much. India should not depend on US or anyone else to neuter the pakis. It has to be done by IA.

Trump is not a trustworthy ally. In case he wanted strategic partnership with India, he wouldn't be terrorising Lakhs of Indian living in US by changing Visa rules/policies. On one side he is taking steps to send Indians out of U.S., and on other hand he expects India to stand by US side and fight with China on behalf of U.S.?

This "logistics bluff" is similar to the "nuclear bluff" Pakistan uses on India to wage jihad.Do u think US cannot force its way into Pakistan?What if a random American aircraft carrier appears on the Karachi coast surrounded by Indian submarines?What if US launches thousands of Tomahawk cruise missile on Puki nuclear sites?

Just look at the timing of his statement. Just when Iran started to burn from within, then the tweet came in.

US Freezes $1.1 Billion Security Aid to Pakistan, But It Has 'Nothing to Do' With Terrorist Hafiz Saeed

The freezing of all security assistance to Pakistan comes days after President Donald Trump accused Islamabad of giving nothing to the US but "lies and deceit" and providing "safe haven" to terrorists in return for $33 billion aid over the last 15 years.

Interesting development. But Pak will dish out their usual crap about there being no terrorists on their soil and that RAW and NDS need to stop cross border terror instead and threaten to shut the vital border crossings for U.S. supply trucks.

Whatever, I wonder what action the US would take? Stop IMF/WB largess? Stop supply of spares for their American military equipment including their F-16s? Drone/missile strikes on terrorist HQs? Abbottabad type commando raid to take out the Haqqanis? Declare Pak as a terrorist state? Rescind Pak's major non NATO ally status? Or will it be status quo with a few more endless warnings thrown in as has been the usual American stance till now?

Any guesses?
