Pakistan and India have strained relations since their independence in 1947. The Cold war between US and USSR has impacted the world, and world was practically divided in two blocks: Warsaw and NATO. The current Cold War Between China and the USA and its allies is likely to have similar effects. I want to examine as to how US-China Cold war ramify in regional balance of power in South Asia, especially India and Pakistan?
Thanks, Terri Purvis, for the article. I think some of the information is a little dated. I wouldn't characterize the US opposition to China as bipartisan and the current administration is much less adversarial with China than the previous. But I agree that it's an interesting issue when we view it through the lens of Pakistan/India relations. Given the current dynamic, and the US pull out from Afghanistan in 2021, I think it will be easier for Pakistan to have a cozier relationship with China. Since the pull-out from Afghanistan, the US has needed less cooperations from Pakistan and there are fewer common interests since the US military has prioritized great power competition over counter-insurgency.
