China builds relations with Pakistanis across the political spectrum

The Chinese have brilliantly developed relations with various religious parties in Pakistan. A few months the head of the Jamat e Islami (JI) went to Beijing and hobnobbed with the rich and the famous in the capital of the new and upcoming superpower. This week Maulana Fazal Ur Rehman, the head of the Jamiat e Ulema e Islam (JUI). The JUI is the equivalent of the Jamiat e Ulema e Hind (JUH) of Bharat. The JUI meeting was hosted by the Communist Party of China (CPC) and taken around the Chinese Republic. Various agreements were signed.

Not only did Maula Fazal Ur Rehman to go Beijing, he also went to the Xinjiang, China’s Muslim majority area which borders Pakistan.

The head of the JUI will of course ensure that he or his cadre do not advertently and inadvertently support the East Turkistan Islamic Movement (ETIM) or its Bharati and CIA sponsored leadership–which rioted in Xinjiang last year.

While Bharat (aka India) tries to dehyphenate its relationship with China, it surely did step on a few toes in Beijing this year when it tried to sabotage Beijing’s Civilian Nuclear deal with Pakistan. While some Bharati spin doctors are trying to put a good face on the robust Pakistani-Chinese relationship, many are chagrined by Beijing’s support of Pakistan at all international forums, and envious of the way the Chinese are setting up industrial plants, building housing colonies, constructing dams, and designs planes with the Pakistanis.

Bharat faces tremendous issuers with the Afghan National Resistance (fka Tlaiban) and their Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan (fka Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan). Its policy right now it try to work with its agent Abdullah Abdullah and try to bifurcate Afghanistan along ethnic lines. This is not a strategy, it is Bharat’s desperation in the mountains known as Hindu Kush (Hindu killer). While China has overtly and covertly built relations with Afghanistan and has built tremendous clout with the people, Bharat’s billion Dollars have been wasted in building roads to nowhere–which it had hoped would bypass Pakistan. The roads and other projects lie in a state of disrepair, and the Afghan National Resistance controls them. China is also building a network of rail lines which connect not only Western China to the Aisa grid, they will eventually bind Tajikistan, Uzbekistan to the port city of Gwader in Pakistan. The Chinese are very keep on the new rail links. In fact last year when the Pakistani rail officials went to China to begin talking about the Kashgar-Gwader rail line, they were astonished to find that the Chinese had already decided the path, and completed a the basic homework required to build the railway line. This month the Pakistani president visited Beijing, and took a large delegation with him. When the Chinese found out that the Railway Minister was missing from the entourage, they were disappointed, and requested Mr. Zardari to invite him. The Railway Minister was flown to China and joined the Pakistani delegation. There is news that the Chinese will be hooking up to the Pakistani Railways through Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, and also along the Karakorum Highway–which itself is being expanded with several new border crossings.

Islamabad’s transit deal with Afghanistan languishes in bureaucratic maze which refuses to allow any third party discussion in the bilateral deal. Pakistan should be pressing Afghanistan to open up the three passes in the Wakhan panhandle of Afghanistan so that Pakistanis can travel to Tajiksitan without fear or harassment.

Bharat has been unable to resolve it boundary and other disputes with China or with any other country for that matter. Those border tensions keep enmity in all countries that border Bharat. If Bharat wants a regional and global presence, it has to mend fences with all her neighbors. If the shouting match with the Pakistanis are any barometer of the Bharati success in peace making—the country will continue to be harassed by all her neighbors. Sikkim, Bhutan, Nepal, Lanka, and even Bangladesh are suspicious of the big bully. China of course has to defend itself, else it would have lost half its territory to Delhi definition of “Tibet”. It remains suspicious of Delhi politicians and military leaders who think of China as its number one enemy. Delhi tried to bill itself up as a counterweight to China in front of the Bush Administration but failed to get any traction on that account. The new realities in Pakistan and Afghanistan confirm that the Pakistanis are extremely valuable to America and Islamabad will continue to be important to Washington for a long time.

    Pakistan’s location and india’s compulsion.
    Great update Moin sahab. In real estate deals, it is
    location, location and location that secures the investment. Pakistan area has been the ” most prized
    real estate”. And all politics in south asia is subordinated to this fact. As noted previously chinese
    historical investment is rooted in history–going back to atleast to 7th cent Harsh vardhan ,a king who ruled Pak.area.
    It seems that India has been out played and your article does provide powerful evidence. Interacting with
    religious parties seems another long term goal of smart chinese. Pakistan.s future does appear bright and sooner than later india will perhaps make serious
    peace moves.
    Will make one correction on “hindu kush” and then shut up. Hindu is from sandha/sindha means any river
    in Brushashki language in Gigit area ( not from sanskrit) and pakistan’s ancient neighbour( ~2000BC)
    elamitic iran had called it hinda/hindu as they replaced s by h ( my book pages 69,83-4). the word kush means to pull ( not kill) in persian. Thus hindu kush mountaine is ” puller /source of rivers”;. Hinduism’s
    most sacred book Rig Ved mentiones ” sabat sindu”
    – means 7 rivers ( sabat is arabic for 7) including kabul, gomul + 5 of panjab.
    Watching/waiting/hoping for indo-pak peace.

      @ Jamil

      If we are to take your theory than Khud Kushi means self pull–which become a pretty nasty word, and does not depict suicide. Once again, HIndu Kush means Hindu killer–just like Khud Kush hamlaawar means suicide bomber.

  2. Dr abdul jamil khan says:

    Dear sahab;
    you are right khud kushi literally means self pulling but it has gained a secondary sense of suicide. this is how languages grow i e secondary meaning;
    A great example is ” byecott”. A scottish land lord in 18th cent had faced a rent strike by tenants and the
    the rent strike took his name Mr Byecott.
    My theory is not a theory but verifiable from dictionary
    and also my book’s persian section.

      @ Khan

      “Kush” means “Kill”, there are multiple examples of this. No amount of pandering to Bharati sensibilities will change that. Hindu Kush means Hindu killer mountains, and several stories can be told about it.

  3. Abdallah Jan says:

    After negative Pakistani slurs and feelings, when the tables are turning, when by will of Allah, Pakistan out maneuvered the filthy giant Lavatory (Bharat) Dr. Khan with his stupid book writes:

    “Watching/waiting/hoping for indo-pak peace”.

    After killing 90,000 + Kashmiris
    After burning 3000 Muslims in Hyderabad
    After forcing Muslims in the slums
    After gulping Pakistani Territories
    After stopping Pakistani water from Kashmir
    After occupying Kashmir
    After infiltrating 80,000 Hindu terrorist in E. Pakistan as Mukti Bahini
    After infiltrating Hindu terrorist from Afghanistan killing innocent Pakistanis.
    After Razing the Babri Masjid and burning Pakistan bound Trains.
    After self inflicted Mumbai and blaming Pakistan.

    Dr. Fool is saying: “Watching/waiting/hoping for indo-pak peace”

    Those criminals shall be brought with chains on their feet and necks.
    Insha-Allah.

    Bharat is Doomed, Insha-Allah.

    There is no god but ALLAH and Muhammad is his Final Messenger.

    Assalamu-Elekum

    Bhai Moin sahab;
    Please avoid to loose your excellent potential in great
    analytical cyber journalism. This is no bribe. Read your
    dictionaries and explain words such as Faqa kushi,
    Rassa kushi and Dil kush ( attractive that pulls your heart) , jafa kush , mai kush ( alcoholic) etc. Kush does not means to kill.
    This is an academic item and not a pro indianism etc; Hindus them self are ” regressed” and it is beyond them to understand the roots of words such as hindu,
    hindi, hinduism etc as you might have noted in my references on elamitic language of mideast.

    Pakistan is central to the old natural trade routes – buried by the parting British.

    Revitalise the Silk Route linking China to the Arabian Sea and Se. Asia.

    Link Central Asia to Pakistan and in doing so you are fulfilling Allah Azuwajjal’s agenda of re-creating a modern Khorasan.

    History has a strange way of repeating itself that is what a non muslim would say but walahi – it is Allah Azuwajjal’s master plan.

    How can man impose their agenda over Allah Azuwajjal’s agenda.

    A progressive, modern and stable Central Asia revolves around stability in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

    Linking Central Asia to the wider regional and global community as ever revovles around Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    If you look at the USA, they control every major trade route, they have absolute monopoly over the trade routes.

    The last trade route is the wrongfully named Indian Ocean (Asiatic Sea) which has it’s inception from the Indus.

    It is Pakistan whcih is the most significant nation as well as Bangladesh in The ASIATIC SEA.

    Insha’allah a vibrant, secure and stable Gwader will outshine Dhubai and more significantly anything India seeks to build.

    Further a secure and stable Gwader as a regional major trading port will help encourage a new relationship with Bangladesh who should be supported also by China to rebuild the Bay of Bengal – thus by passing anything India seek to create.

    Let us teach Bharati’s a lesson, that the Indus is Pakistan, it is our history our glories they promote to the world to gain status. Let us teach the Bharati’s they have no stake in Central Asia as this is Khorasan to which Pakistan and Afghanistan are central nations and there is no room for Bharat to dictate here.

      A good beginning can be made by opening the three passes in the Wakhan panhandle of Afghanistan which was illegally taken from Pakistan in order to create the so called state called “Afghanistan”. The Wakhan panhandle belongs tot he Wakhai people, most of whom are Pakistanis.

      The Wakhan corridor open up historic and traditional links to Tajikistan and beyond.

    Dr Khan,

    Hindu is a Persian name and is not derived from Vedic.

    Naturally Kush refers to kill.

    It is not meaning to kill hindus on the contrary this is the region where as the Hindus write how The Northern Kingdoms came and conquered Delhi.

    Because of the extreme cold climate many muslim soldiers died and they called it a killer.

    Moin sahaib I think Dr. Khan is a victim of Indian “corrupt” history.

    They have corrupted history and hijacked our history.
    I would personally stop looking for answers to their historic names in Hindu books written several hundered years later and focus on Perisan and Arabic history.
