Pakistan under the pressure from American and Chinese weapons

Pakistan is trapped busy offsetting protection relations with China and the US. At the eleventh international defense exhibition and seminar (International Defense Exhibition and Seminar, abbreviated as IDEAS) in Karachi, this situation in Pakistan has become completely clear. At the exhibition, seven Chinese defense companies displayed their advanced weapons in front of representatives from more than 50 countries and regions. Among the Chinese weapons on display were the Wing Lung drone, a CH-series drone, a multirole drone ship, a Y-9E transport aircraft, LY-70 air defense system, VT-4 Main Battle Tank (MBT), SRS Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS), YLC-2E multirole radar, a command information system, an electronic warfare defense system, etc. The Chinese Communist Party-run Global Times reported this news. Global Times noted in their report, Pakistan is already using a considerable amount of Chinese military equipment. These include VT-4 MBT, SH-15, self-propelled howitzers, Type 054 A/P frigates, JF-17 and J-10C fighter jets, JDK-03 early warning aircraft, etc. Adding to the propitiatory consequences of getting these weapons, By and large Times clear that a Pakistani security official, who didn't wish to be named, said that the Chinese military stuff is "generally speaking famous" and is expecting a model part in shielding joint effort among Pakistan and China. China and Pakistan should expand their security ties, state-run Overall Times expressed, alluding to a mysterious Chinese military expert. Because Chinese weapons have made Pakistan's national defense a 'system' or 'system'. China's arms items to Pakistan are more likely than not highlighted diverting India's fundamental thought from their bringing line banter up in the Himalayas (which has transmitted into risky violence lately). Besides, China may be trying to arm Pakistan to counter terrorist threats against its Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Since, inside this BRI project, there is a danger of psychological oppressor assaults on the China-Pakistan Financial Passageway and robbery from the Persian Inlet and the Horn of Africa, which was working with the subsidizing of Beijing-Islamabad at an expense of 6 billion bucks working together. Chinese exports of military equipment to Pakistan may be of questionable quality. Hence, Pakistan's tradition of Western weapons, including US-made F-16 contender jets from the 1980s, is as yet thought to be the most impressive resource dynamic against its long-term rival, India. In an article published in the June issue of the geopolitical magazine this year, defense expert Fabbri de Valerio pointed out that faulty electronics, severe engine malfunctions, and ineffective weapons of the four Zulfiqar frigates purchased earlier from China have degraded the Pakistani navy's capabilities. In addition, The Print reported in April last year that Pakistan is facing technical problems with its Chinese-made tanks, radars, and air defense systems; The tanks failed the post-delivery test and the cannons were not working. This low-quality, unreliable Chinese weapons are forcing Pakistan to maintain its longstanding defense relationship with the United States. During the Cold War, the need to counter India and India's alignment with the Soviet Union were the main catalysts for the US-Pakistan defense relationship. The United States subsequently suspended arms sales to Pakistan in the 1990s due to concerns about nuclear proliferation, and the United States slightly changed its arms policy to Pakistan due to cooperation in counter-terrorism after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Now the US may try to revive its dormant defense relationship with Pakistan to counter China's growing influence in South Asia and use Pakistan as a bargaining chip to keep India in check. Last September, the United States approved a $450 million upgrade package to modernize Pakistan's F-16 fleet, a visible reversal of the longstanding U.S. embargo on arms sales to Pakistan. India has reacted strongly to this US move to renew Pakistan's F-16s. Read the full article

Pakistan intensifies war of words with US, says Donald Trump's first foreign policy makes unfoudned allegations

The United States has expressed concern over the safety of Pakistan's nuclear weapons but Pakistan maintains that accusations made in Donald Trump's first public policy are far removed from reality.

A day after the United States said that Pakistan is being urged to prove it's a 'responsible steward' of its nuclear missiles, the country has hit back at the Donald Trump administration and said accusations made in its first foreign policy are 'unfounded'. Pakistan's Foreign Office late on Tuesday said that accusations made in the first foreign policy taken out by the Trump administration are 'unsubstantiated', 'unfounded', and far away from ground realities, reported Pakistani newspaper Dawn. "Pakistan rejects such unfounded accusations that belie facts on ground and trivialise Pakistan’s efforts for fighting terrorism," Foreign Office spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal was quoted as saying. A day earlier, Washington released Trump administration's first foreign policy which - among many other points - raised concern over safety of Pakistan's nuclear arsenal. "The United States will also encourage Pakistan to continue demonstrating that it is a responsible steward of its nuclear assets," read the policy. "The prospect for an Indo-Pakistani military conflict that could lead to a nuclear exchange remains a key concern requiring consistent diplomatic attention." Pakistan countered with a two-pronged verbal attack - one targeting what it calls American agenda of propping up India in South Asia, and the other in which the country said it is doing enough to tackle the menace of terrorism. "Ironically, a country with a record of defiance of UNSC resolutions, introduction of nuclear weapons in South Asia and use of terrorism as a state policy is being projected as a regional leader," the Foreign Office statement said. Recent times have seen differences crop up between Pakistan and the United States on the issue of terrorism. The United States wants Pakistan to crack down on home-grown terrorist outfits - especially the Haqqani Network. Pakistan says it is already doing all it can. Several leaders here have called for further strengthening of relations with China.
