Greetings,
China’s Troops in Pakistan May Be an Attempt to Bypass US at Sea
Over the weekend, Indian media reported sighting Chinese troops in an area of the disputed Kashmir region administered by Pakistan along a crucial road-rail corridor. Experts say that the reports, if true, are an indication of China’s intention to back its economic interests by military power, and its goal to bypass US naval power on the high seas.
On Saturday, The Times of India reported that an unspecified number of Chinese People’s Liberation Army troops had been spotted at forward posts on the Pakistani side of the Line of Control (LoC) in Kashmir, with intercepts of Pakistani army communications indicating that the troops had arrived to assist in the digging of tunnels which are part of an alternative route to a major regional highway.
Chinese troops, the paper added, were first believed to be spotted in the region in 2015, in an area where a Chinese company is involved in the construction of a hydroelectric power plant.
On Monday, a Chinese foreign ministry spokesman said that he had “not heard about the incident mentioned,” Hindustan Times reported.

At the same time, Hindustan Times recalled, China has repeatedly noted that “the CPEC, which is part of [China’s] Silk Road initiative, is aimed at improving people’s livelihoods and in no way affects the status of the Kashmir issue.”
When completed, the network of roads and railways will connect western China to the southwestern Pakistani port city of Gwadar in Baluchistan province. Last year, Pakistan and China inked a 43 year lease deal on the deep sea port, situated on the coast of the Arabian Sea……More Here
