Re: China raises pitch, Delhi backs off trip to Twang–restricts D. Lama trip
^^ Every country in this world follows its strategic interests. Even if that means creating very very odd alliances.
For example, right now india is funding/arming TTP in Pakistan, even though there might not be even smallest of overlap between their ideologies. TTP is pursuing this alliance because they want money and power they have a common enemy hence a common strategic interest.
USA financed/armed/trained these very Talibans they are fighting against now because at that time it was a strategic necessity. And even today if they are sure that by making peace with Taliban will lead them to their strategic goals, they will not waste one day.
Pakistan is no different.
