The China-Pakistan Axis: Asia's New Geopolitics

China and Pakistan have been each other’s only “all-weather friend” for decades, but the relationship remains little understood. This book recounts the history of the Sino–Pakistani axis, including details of its most sensitive aspects, such as China’s dealings with the Taliban and its support for Pakistan’s nuclear program. Today this relationship plays a central role in Asia’s geopolitics, with ramifications for Afghanistan, India, Asia as a whole, and the West. Finally, the book discusses the dilemma China faces in maintaining its current relationship with Pakistan. It focuses on the collision between China’s take-off as a great power and the rise of militant Islam — how Beijing’s economic might and geostrategic ambitions are turning it into a jihadi target, and what that means not only for the West’s relationship with China but also for Western policy in states such as Afghanistan, where Beijing is finally stepping up its role.

😱 Who could have seen this coming?!

Now this is surprising to news to me considering Russia's historically close relations with India.

Interesting times.

Russia will be happy to sell weapons to India indefinitely. The capabilities that India needs aren't really uncle sam boondoggles.

Isn’t that exactly how Georgia got stitched up? You’d think people would learn when the US is using you to kick off some sort of Great Game manoeuvre.

If I remember, they did the same thing with the ROK in 1949-50, leading the North to invade.

is it a white people trait to not heed Jiang Zemin's unfathomable political strategy of "Stay low, keep your mouth shut while making tons of money"

Liz Truss is our most prominent ‘dumb’ politician atm. She is so stupid substance abuse is often suspected.

She’s culture secretary and will do any interview demanded and cannot stop running her mouth about anything. She has probably been tricked into all of this as a distraction for Boris.

Loving the perfect tory voter bait of China (contemporary) and Falklands (classic)

Also, to be elected the Tory leader, you need to win a majority vote of the party members, and they're all the sort of people who a) firmly believe that Britain is still a world military power and b) actually care about what colour flag gets to fly over the Falklands.

Truss has been regularly popping up in the media making grandstanding comments, posing with military hardware etc 'cos there's probably going to be a leadership contest soon and she wants to establish a prominent brand.

I'm almost done with "How China Escaped Shock Therapy" and one of the central ideas in the book was that despite all of the disciples of Hayek and Friedman telling them that they needed to do price liberalization in one "big bang" and all the other trapping of neoliberalism, they ultimately didn't do it not only because the West had zero leverage with which to tell them to do such a thing (and indeed it was China that sought out such "second opinions" when their economic discipline was picking back up in the 70s and 80s), but also because they were able to look at the experience of Yugoslavia and Hungary and the rest of Eastern Europe and South America, and they saw where it lead to, and knew well enough to back away.

It's legit Very Good that there exists at least one major country whose head is not fully up the Chicago School rear end in a top hat. These fuckers tell the whole world that certain things are just impossible and there is no alternative, unfortunately, while having a harder and harder time covering up the ever more obvious and actually existing alternative that is Chinese economics.
