Why do China and Pakistan love each other?

Why do China and Pakistan love each other? Most people have never heard of the magical port of Gwadar in Pakistan. Surprisingly, it is a gateway for China to break strategic encirclement by the United States in the Malacca Strait and avoid India’s interference in the trade route of China.

Gwadar Port is a high-quality deep-water port, which is very suitable for building an international shipping transit station.  Middle East oil coming out of the Persian Gulf can be docked directly at Gwadar port for unloading. All crude oil goes directly from the railway line and enters China by land transportation. By using Gwadar Port, China has completely avoided the shipping problem and avoided the risk of the major economic artery being cut off.

Another wonderful aspect of Gwadar Port, which is only one step away from Iran and connected by land. Iran, a country that is not only rich in oil, but also has a very bad relationship with the United States, has long been sanctioned by the United States and cannot sell oil.

Among the big powers, only China can be completely trusted by Pakistan, and only China will never sell Pakistan to India. Pakistan absolutely believes in China’s sincerity because India is also a threat to China, and China needs Pakistan to check and balance India.

For China, as long as India still exists, Pakistan cannot betray China. There will be no other big country in the world that attaches great importance to Pakistan's strategic position as China. Pakistan’s presence is very important to China, but not so important to other big countries.

As the British famously said, between countries, there are only eternal interests and no eternal friendship. But the world of geopolitics, China and Pakistan always have the same powerful interests. This powerful interest cannot be ignored no matter how the leaders change, since it involves the national security of both parties.

This is why China and Pakistan love each other and is what is commonly known as iron buddies. China is 100 % assured of Pakistan, unless India disappears.
