IN our neighborhood, an important event just occurred.\u00a0 China has taken over<\/a> the Pakistani port at Gwadar.\u00a0 It is the main entry point to Middle East and would link China to Middle East waters via the Karakorum highway.<\/p>\n

Management of Gwadar port, around 600 km (370 miles) from Karachi and close to Pakistan\u2019s border with Iran,\u00a0 was handed over to state-run Chinese Overseas Port Holdings last week.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Interestingly, while the Pakistanis believe in and pride in their friendship with China, they litle realize that CHina doesn\u2019t care too hoots for Pakistanis or Muslimsif they didn\u2019t have their interests to get to.<\/p>\n

When the Chinese do any projects in Pakistan, they not only get their own people \u2013 from labor to the top guy, but they eat their own food, and create their own colonies to live there.\u00a0 Pakistani economy doesn\u2019t benefit any.\u00a0 China benefits tremendously as it gets access to the land, resources and conduit from and in Pakistan.\u00a0 But Pakistan feels that this is a good way to get back at India.\u00a0 One really doubts that.<\/p>\n

Any way, the access that China gets with this is bound to be troublesome in the long run.<\/p>\n
