The
Cold War was an political rivalry between the
United States and the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R) and their respective allies that
started after World War II. It was given the name of “Cold War” because none of
the parties officially declared the war nor was there any direct millitary
involvement. This war was pursued primarily through economic and political
actions, propagagda, acts of espionage or proxy wars waged by surrogates.
A Complex Verdict:
The
“Cold war” between USA and China is inevitable. Sooner or Later Pakistan and
the whole world will have to face it. Since it’s independence Pakistan was an
key ally of USA, Infact the first ever official visit ever done by any
Pakistani was by Liaquat Ali Khan when he visited USA from 3 May to 26 May 1950.
America has Given around $67 Billion dollars as AID to Pakistan. This shows how
mature Pak-America relations are nevertheless Their mutual relations have been
detoriating with time. This downtrend began after US sanctioned Pakistan in the
critical time of Nuclear Development. While on the other hand there is China
That wholeheartedly supported Pakistan Financially, Politically and Morally in
the time of need. They have supplied the latest pieces So, Pakistan Naturally
got attracted toward China and it’s Tempting amenities.
Sino-American
Cold war is not something too farfetched.There’s even a Chance for a full scale
war, A consequential one. Nonetheless this
“Cold war” is imminent or possibly this might’ve already started just wating to
gain traction. China and America both are superpowers and they will do anything
to stay that way. In the wake of begnning of such a war Pakistan will play a
crucial and critical role. Pakistan will face a dillemma. Pakistan would be
left with two options:; Americans or Chinese.
The
old ally of Pakistan which helped them a lot following the creation of Pakistan
in 1947 or the “All weather freind” that has helped Pakistan in it’s ups and
down, Regardless of the Pros and Cons. Pakistan has one of the best or possibly
the best Millitary leadership compared to anywhere around the globe. This
combined with the political leadership of Pakistan knows the best. They know
how to make pakistan a beneficiary of everything. Their Cunningness, Maturity,
Consciousness, Awareness and their Attitude
towards undertaking a problem has various problems in the past and many
to come during the future
Still,
If we examine and observe the strategic pros and cons of both the participants
of war and their advantages and draw backs China stands out. There are multiple
factors contributing to that. First of all and the most obvious China and
Pakistan share the same enemy: India. There’s a famous saying “The enemy of my
enemy is my friend” essentially that’s the one of the main reasons backing the
“All weather friendship” In case of a war china would take on the notheren end
while Pakistan would take care of the westeren side. The economy of Pakistan is
also Interwined with it’s chinese Counterpart.
So Pakistan grows with China
unlike the US where there’s no benefit for Pakistan except couple of billions
dollars in so called AID for which Pakistan has to sacrifices it’s invaluable
and priceless Peace just to hear “Do more” from an incompetent human himself.
How ironic for Pakistan to hear that after loosing around $45 Billion and
around 75-80,000+ lives. The US has always been a back stabber for Pakistan
whenever US gave AID it was only meant for short term projects. Not anything
even compareable to what China has done for Pakistan like the “CPEC” This shows
the trust in Pakistan from the Chinese, Nonetheless Pakistani Foreign policy
shoud always be structured in a way which makes pakistan the beneficiary of
it’s objective and if it hasn’t been obvious by now this is only possible if we
adapt a foreign policy which is inclined toward China and the bigger benefits
of Pakistan. As a reply of the favours done by China towards Pakistan.
