Against India, China made Pakistan stronger, gave it a dangerous ship

Beijing, Ta. Monday 24 August 2020

The alliance between China and Pakistan is getting stronger day by day. China has launched one of its four most advanced ships this week. China is building this ship for Pakistan. The defense cooperation between China and Pakistan comes at a time when India is under increasing tension with both. The relationship between Pakistan and China is strong. Military involvement is a source of concern for India.

The Pakistani navy said on Sunday that Chinese government shipyard Hudong Jonghua hosted the launch ceremony of the Type-054A / P ship. The Pakistani navy said in a statement that the ship would help us maintain peace and stability in the region. The price of these ships was not mentioned in the statement. However, according to reports, the cost of each ship is more than 350 350 million.

According to a statement from the Pakistan Army, the ship will be one of the most advanced and largest ships in the Pakistan Navy and will help solve future challenges.

The Chinese company could hand over all four ships to Pakistan by 2021. According to Chinese media, this will double the combat capability of the Pakistani navy. Pakistani officials say the Type-054A / P frigate is also part of China's People's Liberation Army Navy and is considered a wakebone. China and Pakistan are also jointly producing some other military equipment, including JF-17 combat aircraft.

A few days ago, Pakistan's Prime Minister Imran Khan said in an interview that Pakistan's future is now with China. However, China's growing involvement in Pakistan is not a good sign for India. This could also increase China's control over Pakistan's strategic location. India has been at war with both China and Pakistan. China invaded India in 1962 and occupied most of Ladakh.

It is now being said that if China or Pakistan escalate their confrontation with either India, India will have to face both countries. Former Indian Army chief and current CDS General Bipin Rawat has also said that the Indian Army is ready for a two-and-a-half front battle. This means that India also estimates that war is now possible not from a single front but from several fronts at once.

Not only military partnership but also economic partnership between Pakistan and China has been strengthened. Pakistan is also part of China's global campaign for the Belt and Road Initiative. Under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, China has invested about 30 30 billion in Pakistan in the last six years. China is building roads, ports and power plants in Pakistan. However, critics say Chinese investment will increase the debt burden of Pakistan.
