Pak-China Strategic Ties Irks The Indo-Israelis

Obama Must Not Be A Tool To Promote The Indo-Israeli Agenda
The US Should Not Be Unnerved on Nuclear Deal between China and Pakistan

Pak-China Talks In Progress
During Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardar’s recent visit to Beijing, Pakistan and China reaffirmed to strengthen strategic ties and took concrete measures to further bring their people closer.
Both the countries signed six documents of cooperation in the areas of agriculture, healthcare, justice, media, economy and technology. Chinese President Hu Jintao and President Asif Ali Zardari, while witnessing the signing ceremony that made strategic incentives and alliances even stronger than they were before. On trade cooperation, Jintao said that China would explore new ways to cooperate as well as cement cooperation between the two countries in areas such as energy, transportation, telecommunication, infrastructure and agriculture. Beijing also pledged to provide a grant of 7.3 million dollars to Pakistan for new development projects.
During the two-hour-long talks before the signing ceremony, Jintao and Zardari also vowed to fight the three forces of extremism, separatism and terrorism jointly.
“China is a friend and a strategic partner, committed to the promotion of stability and economic progress of Pakistan.” This is how Jintao summed up the strategic relations.
However, the two leaders discussed a host of issues relating to strategic partnership. The most prominent area of this bolstering of ties — especially for the world is the Sino-Pak civilian nuclear deal which is now beginning to see complete formalisation and initiation. It is unfortunate that the US has expressed its concerns about this deal, where the main goal is to address the acute power crisis in Pakistan. While rejecting US objections, China has once again clarified that it will supply two nuclear reactors to Pakistan under the old nuclear deal.
As regards the legitimacy of Pak-China nuclear deal, Qin Gang, the spokesperson of the Chinese Foreign Ministry has already made it clear, saying: “the nuclear cooperation between the two countries is for peaceful purposes and is totally in consistent with its international obligations and safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).”
It is also regrettable that, until now, we have been denied the same right to civil nuclear technology that India was granted by the US in 2008. It provides the precedent, and in fact, has opened the door for any similar sort of nuclear deal in the future. Indeed, after setting precedent by themselves, both India and the US have no legal and moral grounds to challenge the legality of the Pak-China nuclear deal. It is rather ironic that the ‘original sinner’ was granted a waiver for its transgressions, as India used its civil nuclear technology for the development of nuclear weapons, igniting the nuclear arms race in South Asia.
When Pak-China nuclear deal was initiated in 1986, China was not a part of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) nor had it signed the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) which it did so in 1992 and joined the NSG in 2004. As long as the International Atomic Energy Agency safeguards are not being violated, suspicions are unjustified. Nevertheless, despite international pressures, both Beijing and Islamabad are determined to go ahead in relation to nuclear cooperation and are working towards sustained development in Pakistan. Given the worsening energy crisis in our country and the problems in this area, the fact that China is set to export nuclear reactors is a hugely positive step towards addressing the energy shortage.
China and Pakistan plan on building a rail link, which would pass through Gilgit-Baltistan near the Karakoram Highway. This has sparked a debate in India. In this regard, Indian Minister of State for Defence M M Pallam Raju said, “It is definitely a matter of concern.”
Notably, despite showing more cooperation with our country, the main aim of the US including its allies like India and Israel remains to de-nuclearise Pakistan. Moreover, ideal geo-strategic location of our country with the Gawadar port, linking Central and South Asia entailing Islamabad’s close ties with China pinches the eyes of US, India and Israel which are in collusion to destabilise Pakistan for their common interests. America should not side Indo-Israeli Nexus at the cost of Pakistan; the US has no better ally than Pakistan at least in this region. Any such support would prove suicidal for the American interests, America will find no better and tested ally than Pakistan.
It is owing to these reasons that Pakistan, its army and intelligence agency, ISI have become special target of the external plot, even under the Obama Administration. Availing the opportunity of the western propaganda, CIA, RAW and Mossad have also increased their clandestine activities against Pakistan and Iran by supporting the insurgents of Balochistan.
It is mentionable that the US intends to control Balochistan as an independent state in counterbalancing China and containing Iran. Therefore, America and India are creating instability in Pakistan by backing Baloch separatists to complete their hidden agenda.
There is a CIA and Indian-supported separatist group, Jundullah (God’s soldiers) which is also working against the cordial relationship of Pakistan with China and Iran. In the past few years, its militants with the cooperation of foreign agents kidnapped and killed many Chinese and Iranian nationals in Pakistan. In that context, on April 18, 2008, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi vocally pointed out, “Some external forces are trying to weaken China-Pakistan strategic ties” by “creating misunderstandings”.
Plot by foreign elements against Balochistan and China could also be judged from the “Indian Defence Review,” of Jan-Mar 2009. The Review, while suggesting the disintegration of Pakistan, wrote that for New Delhi, “this opens a window of opportunity to ensure that the Gawadar port does not fall into the hand of China. Afghanistan will gain stability…India’s access to Central Asian energy routes will open up.”
It is worth mentioning that the revelations of Israel’s ambassador to India, Mark Sofer during his interview to the Indian weekly Outlook as published on February 18, 2008 had surprised Pakistan, China and the Middle. On a question regarding India’s defence arrangements with Israel, Sofer while indicating two identical situations, disclosed “We do have a defence relationship with India, which is no secret. On the other hand, what is secret is the defence relationship”. And “with all due respect, the secret part will remain a secret.”
Nevertheless, external plot against Balochistan is part of the conspiracy against Pakistan and China—not tolerated by the US, India and Israel which have been trying to virtually besiege particularly our country as noted through a perennial wave of suicide attacks and bomb blasts. In this respect, by covertly backing the Baloch nationalist leaders, foreign elements have been fulfilling a number of covert designs.
Nonetheless, it needs to be reminded that China is one of the few countries that has always remained Pakistan’s strong ally, one that has never failed in coming to our aid. In the new world order where the US is evidently siding with India as a counterweight to China’s rapid economic expansion and growing power, Pakistan is China’s most dependable friend. President Zardari’s trip is a reinforcement of the deep and long lasting ties both countries have always enjoyed. In the face of international doubt and pressure, it has been these two allies which have always stood by each other. There is no doubt that China is ever-supportive ally. Both the countries are making efforts to further strengthen their relationship and enhance strategic ties.

Pakistan-China nexus is not new, it goes back at least three decades …… ! This a relation between sovereign nations, in which a third country has nothing to do ……. !
That India-Israel is has a problem with it, is a product of the author’s smoking pot …… !
These Pakistanis in denial, crying hoarse about India-Israel hands in the troubled waters in Balochistan, Afghanistan etc. needs to know that state sponsored terrorism is not a one way traffic.
On one hand, You will ” bleed India with thousand cuts”, and then turn around to complaint that India is fueling violence in Pakistan ……. you can not have it both ways ……… the choice is your’s……. you make up your mind whether you want peace or war ………… !!

Indo-Israeli? I don’t think India wants to be associate with Zionists running Israel regardless of past altercations with Pakistan. Maybe if Israel normalized itself to disallow Zionism and honoured the land demarcations set out in the 1967 treaty with Palestine first then India or any other nation could associate with Israel safely. Otherwise India should not allow itself to be used in this way and associated with what could be 2 of the worst nations in the world, controlled by the ‘white dominated’ UN.
Focus on enhancing leadership in NAM and strengthening ties with Pakistan instead India ! Pakistan is to India that cousin one used to fight with when young but who is still your relative and who can help out in your family business when everyone is grown up. Israel is the neighbour 2 blocks down who knows people that have no scruples about breaking into your home (read Iraq invasion . . . )

The bankster elite is trying to create a disagreement where they can to prepare background for WW3. They do not have any affiliations towards India or Pakistan. They don?t care about either. All they care about is that the two always fight each other. Do they want to drag into this fight some other nations? You bet. Now they want to stage the war to cover up their looting.

As a sub-continental; tied to Pakistan and India through millenniums which has intertwined and co-mingled us undeniably as tributaries that feed a river; why still after centuries of being played the fool should we continue our roles in obdurate blindness to continue to destroy ourselves for the PROFIT of the G5 and Israel.
Once kith/kin and today still yet we perversely choose not to remove these delusions implanted into our souls by demagogues, despots and so-called elitists. Treacherously abetted by our own blood flowing amongst our midst in ‘full spectrum’ degradation.
Forgotten are the millions upon millions of muslims and hindus that perished decade after decade in manufactured famines. Abolished are the shrines of our common heritage and common shame to being tortured for over 400 years by this cabal of colonial powers. Faded are the memories of concious genocide being inflicted to all -Nagas/Nepalis/Gurkhas/Sihks/Rajputs/Pathans/Balochs/Sinds
What foolishness is this that we have NO TIME or MIND to inspire each other to save he hundreds of millions of our brethrens dying and rotting our once proud peoples. instead we choose to squabble amongst ourselves and gorge on a diet of specious logic, fallacious constructs.
Should we please our hidden oppressors by shattering ourselves into a hundred nations at war with each other. I wish some one would write about this :

Perhaps it is time that we realize that only brotherhood can save ourselves from ourselves.

In other articles, neel123 (or: neel-XXXX) always sides with israel and in past posts has proffered how smart the jews are. (yes, if you think that being smart in the same way the Mafia is ‘smart’ is a good thing). Israelis are thugs, along with the americans and the brits.
Safe to say that neel(whatever-number) is an israeli mole and a troll.
Neel(whatever) – get a real job, get a life, get a brain and, most of all – get a conscience. (tip: get the conscience first, the rest will follow)

AgreeToDisagree, you say that the UN is ‘white dominated’
The leader is a Chinese man. It was set up by Jews. If whites had any control left they wouldn’t be killing the west through mass immigration. The goal is to kill of Whites. If you can’t see it / accept it, go look around England or any other European country. Why so many non-Europeans there? This is not the case in any other non-European nation. In every non-European country racial homogeneity is 99%.

@ POV, and all the unethical opportunist Pakistanis,
The day is not far when Pakistanais will seriously debate recognition and normalization of relations with Israel, only with an aim to eat away at India- Israel relationship… !
Here some confused guys have mixed up Israel with the colonial powers to place their arguments.
India and Israel face similar problems, and must cooperate with each other, regardless of what the Muslims and the Chinese would like … !
If Pakistanis can join hands with China and the muslim terrorists to ” bleed India with thousand cuts” , there is nothing wrong for India to join hands with Israel to give a befitting reply to the China-Pakistan nexus ……. !

Obama?Obama?Do you think that this homosexual is in charge of America?C-mon people!
THE DOMINATION OF JEWRY OVER AMERICA is now complete.
Jews are in control of every sphere of America?s infrastructure. The 3 major areas of Jewry?s victory over the American people are 1) Banking; 2) Politics; & 3) Education.
To understand what a ?victory? over the Gentiles in America means for the Jews, a simple equation is all that is needed. Jewry wishes to enslave the Gentiles to its own agenda & to eradicate any particularism unique to Gentile culture.
One of the ?particulars? of Gentile culture has been their historical allegiance to the Christian faith and the national customs bound up with that faith. America was once known as a ?Christian? nation with a distinct ?Christian? culture.
But the Zionist Jews, through their infiltration of academia and the press, have turned America into a secular nation. Yet ?secularism? is just another name for ?judaism.?
For in a secular society, in which any particular Gentile strain has been diluted, Jewry can promote their Jewish propaganda, UNCHALLENGED, to its maximum effect. This is why the American people have been instilled with a sense of ?Gentile guilt? given Jewry?s promotion of the so-called ?Holocaust? – which has been proven to be yet another Jewish hoax.
