Abstract

This article will explore the consequences of America-China relations on Pakistan's security and economy. Friendly America and China relations will improve Pakistan's security, while the America and China confrontation will disrupt Pakistan's security. In this specific situation, the America-China rivalry after 9/11 has weakened Pakistan's security factors at the regional and domestic levels. On the local side, the America-China rivalry has weakened Pakistan's local security by expanding political violence and diminishing its socio-political union. However, on the regional side, the America-China confrontation has weakened Pakistan's security factor against Afghanistan and India. What worries Indian is that the confrontation between China and the US has expanded the competition between Pakistan and India, weakened Pakistan and India's stability, and damaged Pakistan's position on Kashmir.
