China's Hu promises "new level" of Pakistan ties
Chinese President Hu Jintao promised on Friday to bolster his country's strategic ties with Pakistan to a new level, saying strong relations between the old allies was conducive to peace in Asia. Hu arrived in Pakistan on Thursday on the first visit by a Chinese president in a decade. His visit also marks the 55th anniversary of diplomatic relations which analysts describe as Pakistan's most stable.

The two countries signed 18 agreements, including a free trade pact, which they hope will boost trade from $4.26 billion last year to $15 billion within five years.

There had been speculation they would also sign a new agreement on nuclear power but no new deal was announced. China has already helped Pakistan build a 300-megawatt nuclear plant and is building a second of the same capacity. Referring to that help, Hu told a news conference with Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf: "We will continue to carry out such cooperation."

Hu arrived in Pakistan on Thursday from a visit to India where he agreed with leaders to expand economic relations, sweep away mistrust and speed up efforts to resolve border disputes. Analysts said he would be keen to demonstrate that China's growing ties with India would not come at the expense of its old friend, Pakistan.

#8  Well, sort of like Joe said, China will be China, and Russia will be Russia. I don't think it's payback so much as a grab for the top dog position, even if they will be king of a poisoned kingdom for only a short while.

#4  Why is anyone surprised?

Neither China nor Russia is an ally in the War on Jihad. They never have been and perhaps never will be allies.

This is pay back from the Ruskies for supporting the Afghanistan mujahideen against the imperial Soviets.

It's pay back from Chicoms for buying "Free Tibet" and "Keep Tiawan Free" bumper stickers.

So China brings the Pakis under their Nuke umbrella and Russia brings Iran under their Nuke umbrella....are you saying "Suprise"?

The Cold War continues unabated except that now the Commies are using "religious" surrogates: Jihadist Muslims.

Same old same old.

Once upon a time I would have thought we had natural allies in the WAR on JIHAD: Europe, Russia, and China. Five years after 9-11 I hear the Ruskies and Chicoms laughing in the background and Europe can't wipe the smirk off it's ugly face. Don't get me started on South America. All of them want the USA taken down.

Yeah, we (USA) have a few allies: Austrailia and Japan. To a lesser extent, Great Britain and Canada. A few enclaves in Eastern Europe.

What I rue most of all is the power wasted. If Western Civ rose up as one, united, the threat ( of muslim jihad) could be put down like a rabid dog. Our grandchildren and great grandchildren (those few that survive and share our ideals and values) will curse us for failing to act now. And rightly they should.

#3  NET POSTER rant [paraphrased] > "America under Dubya is moving towards SOCIALISM + COMMUNISM, and GOD D **** HELP US ALL, the SOCIALISTS + COMMIES DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP IT". Yammamoto and Naguma want to attack PEARL HARBOR, but HORROR OF HORRORS, OH THE HUMANITY!, THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP THEIR OWN ATTACK. THEY'RE OWN VIOLENCE, THEY'RE OWN DESTRUCTION. STalin can't stop Stalin, Hitler can't stop Hitler, Rommel can't stop Rommel, etc.

#2  PAKISTAN > "useful idiot" agz INDIA-USA, area for Chinese goods, + "living/moving space" for China's troublesome Muslim minority. As a Commie Maosist-Stalinist centralized State, in LT Beijing will need to EXPAND, BY TREATY ANDOR BY MIL FORCE. CHINA is setting up for the POST-AMERICA/AMERIKA, POST-COMMUNIST-ISLAMIST HONEYMOON day when all hell will break lose between former anti-American/West allies Secular SOcialism and God-based Socialism, i.e. Commies + Radical Islamists. CHINA WILL EXTERMINATE THE MUSLIMS JUST LIKE 200MILYUHN-PLUS AMERIKANS, AND TAKE OVER 1/2-PLUS OR ALL OF ASIA JUST LIKE CONUS-NORAM. DITTO FOR RUSSIANS.

#1  And just what would Pakis have to trade to China? Certainly no commercially traded articles which China makes better and cheaper already. Maybe intact F-16's if we are stupid enough to go through with the deal ?
