The Impact of Chinese Foreign Policy on India and Pakistan

From the demographic point of view, approximately 40% of all people in the world live in China and the two main countries in South Asia, India and Pakistan. It must be of particular importance to take into account the interrelationships between the first and second largest populations in the world, as they constitute the "Asian triangle" that occupies a central place in the evolving patterns of Asian politics. In the 1980s and 1990s, China was too preoccupied with domestic problems, relations with the Soviet Union, and other high priorities in foreign policy. To pay close attention to relations with India and Pakistan, China allied itself with Pakistan to balance with India in the South Asian region, and maintained this policy after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, despite China and India's attempt to improve their relations with each other and enhance the level of trust in return, and despite the competitive relations between them, China considers India as a foreign market for future expansion.
