Pakistan US China: Shehbaz Sharif badly trapped by revelations on China, now how will Pakistan get America’s help? – cable leak on china us in pakistan causing trouble for pm shehbaz sharif

Islamabad: After a recent cable leak, it has become clear to what extent Pakistan is leaning towards China. According to this cable leak, Pakistan can do anything for the sake of China. After this inclination of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his government came to the fore, questions have also arisen on the future for Pakistan. According to experts, Pakistan is not getting any kind of support from America at this time, due to which it has become upset. At a time when Pakistan is facing its biggest economic crisis and has to repay its debt as soon as possible, this disclosure could spell trouble. If experts are to be believed, the leak also brings to the fore the differences between Pakistan’s government and the powerful military.

Leak surfaced last month
The controversy has been going on since the end of last month. An internal Pakistani government memo came to the media. This disclosure related to Pakistan has happened only under the American intelligence leak. In April, many information related to intelligence was revealed on a gaming platform. This whole matter had troubled the defense agencies a lot.

Pakistan’s Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar had bluntly told PM Shahbaz that now there can be no attempt to maintain a common ground between China and America. Khar’s argument was that Pakistan needs to avoid a false sense of appeasement of the West. Also, because of this habit of maintaining Pakistan’s partnership with America, the strategic partnership with China may suffer.

Pakistan will be closer to China
China has invested billions of rupees in Pakistan under the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). But since last year, the government of Shehbaz Sharif has also engaged in efforts to improve relations with America. According to a Pakistani government official, Pakistan is deliberately thinking of moving closer to China. The leak came to light just a few days before Chinese Foreign Minister Qin Gang’s visit to Pakistan last week.

“China is ready to help revive Pakistan’s economy and improve people’s well-being,” Qin said during his visit. At the same time, Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said, ‘China can always count on Pakistan as its most reliable partner and reliable friend. Friendship with China is the cornerstone of Pakistan’s foreign policy. It is not yet clear how Khar’s memo reached the US.

Pakistan disappointed with America
According to Musharraf Zaidi, CEO of Islamabad-based think tank Tabadalab, all the leaks are strategic and have been done to achieve larger objectives. On the other hand, Adam Weinstein, a research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, says that Pakistan’s diplomats and military officials are at loggerheads when it comes to balancing relations with the US and China.

The country’s diplomats often feel negatively about relations with the US. According to an American diplomat based in Islamabad, many people believe that the US has influence on the decisions of the IMF, whereas it is not so. At the same time, a Pakistani government official said that Pakistan was hopeful that the US would persuade the IMF to sign the agreement. But Pakistan has got only disappointment.
