Iff this were the late 1970's-1980's, I'd argue its prob more correct for Beijing to say Pakistan is "our [Soviet] Afghanistan", i.e. a strategic corridor to get close to post-Shah Iran + Iranian oilfields, the maelstorm + Air-Sea routes of the Persian Gulf + Arabian Sea, + of course to outflank India.
