Abstract

Pakistan is central in China’s Himalayan strategy, serving as a crucial linchpin for its regional ambitions. Pakistan’s geographical location is critical for China. Given its proximity with India and Afghanistan, Pakistan provides China with a crucial gateway for a strategic foothold in South Asia as well as offering access to the Indian Ocean. With this, Beijing can project its influence in a region where India is a dominant player, thus, counterbalancing India’s regional influence.
