May marked the 69th anniversary of Pakistan and China’s formal diplomatic ties. A spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry described the occasion to say the relationship remains “firm as a rock.”

According to this report, China aims to fulfil multiple objectives with the arrangements.
These objectives include denying Uighurs a safe haven in Afghanistan.
Reportedly, Pakistan and China have secured pledges from the Taliban to not support the Uighurs.
China also aims economic expansion in this region and trying hard to take its Belt and Road Initiatives (BRI) to Afghanistan.

Though Pakistan’s alliance with China is not new, the latest developments represent a dramatic escalation of the partnership in recent years. And they follow tensions with the Obama and Trump administrations that spiked in 2018 when long-standing American concerns tumbled into public view, centeringon Islamabad’s support for the same terrorist networks that the U.S. was trying to defeat in neighboringAfghanistan. Pakistan at the time pledged to cease intelligence sharing with the U.S., and Washington said it would cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in military aid to Pakistan.
