Pakistan has a long and strong relationship with China. The long-standing ties between the two countries have been mutually beneficial. Since the 1962 Sino-Indian War, Pakistan has supported China on most issues of importance to the latter, especially those related to the question of China's sovereignty. Looking into the future, China’s expanding influence in Central Asia and its interest in overland access to the Arabian Sea could motivate even stronger links with Pakistan. The nexus is a live threat for India having military and non-military manifestations. These are irreversible strategic realities which India cannot ignore. Hence India’s foreign policy formulations and initiatives must factor in these threats and determine the course and direction of its foreign policy and response to threats emanating from the nexus. This book helps in understanding these threats and provides options for India to counter the China-Pakistan Nexus without hurting the growing Indo China economic relations.
