How did Pakistan and China Become Allies? | Flashback with Palki Sharma

Pakistan began its post-partition journey by joining multiple military alliances led by the United States. But in the decades afterwards, Islamabad forged an “iron brotherhood” with Communist China. Pakistan’s first prime minister Liaquat Ali Khan recognised the Communist regime in 1950, the first Muslim country to do so. The Chinese regime supported Pakistan in its wars against India and also supplied materials and blueprints for Pakistan’s nuclear programme. Today, China is the largest investor and arms supplier to the country. What led to this thriving partnership between Pakistan and China? How did they build an “iron brotherhood”? Where does India figure in this equation? Palki Sharma tells you on Flashback.

Will terror attacks on Chinese nationals affect the iron brotherhood between China and Pakistan? Comment below and join the conversation.

As a Chinese, I would like to tell you: 1. Pakistan was one of the first countries to recognize China,
2. It was during the Indo Pakistani War that the United States abandoned Pakistan, while China continued to lend a helping hand to Pakistan during times of poverty, that India's invasion was avoided. In 2008, during the Wenchuan earthquake in China, Pakistan donated all its inventory tents to China.
There are many Liezi, and we not only have good relationships due to political interests, but also truly feel the sincerity of each other.

मैं चीनी हूं और आशा करता हूं कि चीन और पाकिस्तान हमेशा सबसे अच्छे दोस्त रहेंगे। यह पाकिस्तान ही था जो संयुक्त राष्ट्र में चीन के पक्ष में खड़ा हुआ था। इसके लिए हमें सदैव आभारी रहना चाहिए! और हमारे वंशजों को बताने के लिए.

This is by far the most unbiased coverage Palki has done on her most hated countries, Pakistan and China. I love you and your great work though, Palki. Keep up!

It was Pakistan who brought US-China together in that 1972 week that changed the world...

[spookyargument]

Iron Brothers will soon start to rust and fall apart.

The reason that China did not attack India along with Pakistan in 1971 was because of the Chinese defeat in 1967. The hubris about China's military power was broken owing to swift and decisive actions taken in 1967 which wasn't the case during 1962. If anyone is interested in knowing more about this, I suggest the book, "Watershed 1967" by Probal DasGupta.
