Islamabad: While Pakistan wants China to build a naval base at Gwadar in Bal
ochistan, Beijing is more interested in setting up military bases either in
the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) or the Federally Administered
Northern Areas (FANA) that border Xinjiang province, senior Pakistani journ
alist and author Amir Mir has said.
The Chinese desire is meant to contain growing terrorist activities of Chine
se rebels belonging to the al-Qaeda-linked East Turkestan Islamic Movement (
ETIM) that is also described as the Turkistani Islamic Party (TIP), Mir wrot
e in Asia Times Online.
The Chinese Muslim rebels want the creation of an independent Islamic state
and are allegedly being trained in the tribal areas of Pakistan, he stated.
揂ccording to well-placed diplomatic circles in Islamabad, Beijing''s wish f
or a military presence in Pakistan was discussed at length by the political
and military leadership of both countries in recent months as China (which v
iews the Uyghur separatist sentiment as a dire threat) has become ever-more
concerned about Pakistan''s tribal areas as a haven for radicals,Mir said.
揃eijing believes that similar to the United States military presence in Pak
istan, a Chinese attendance would enable its military to effectively counter
the Muslim separatists who have been operating from the tribal areas of Pak
istan for almost a decade, carrying out cross-border terrorist activities in
trouble-stricken Xinjiang province,he added.
Pakistan intends to counter-balance Indian naval forces by having a Chinese
naval base in the Gwadar area, Mir, who is the author of several books on th
e subject of militant Islam and terrorism, the latest being 慣he Bhutto murd
er trail: From Waziristan to GHQ quoted knowledgeable Defence Ministry sou
rces in Islamabad, as saying.
揌owever, diplomatic circles in Islamabad say Beijing, which has no military
bases outside its territory and has often been vocal in criticizing America
n moves for operating such bases, first wants to establish military bases in
Pakistan, which could be followed by the setting up of the naval base,the
senior journalist said.
擳herefore, Chinese Defense Minister Liang Guanglie promptly dismissed (on J
une 6) suggestions that Beijing was carving out a permanent naval presence i
n India''s neighbourhood,he added.
Analysts say that China's deepening strategic penetration of Pakistan and th
e joint plans to set up not only new oil pipelines and railroads, but also n
aval and military bases, are enough to set alarm bells ringing in New Delhi
and Washington.
The repercussions are particularly stark for India because both Beijing and
Islamabad refuse to accept the territorial status quo and lay claim to large
tracts of Indian land that could come under Chinese sway once Beijing is al
lowed to establish military bases in Pakistan, Mir noted.
揟he fact that Gilgit and Baltistan is located in the Pakistani-administered
part of Kashmir presents India with a two-front theater in the event of a w
ar with either country. By deploying troops near the LoC and playing the Kas
hmir card against New Delhi, Beijing is clearly signalling that Kashmir is w
here the Sino-Pakistan nexus can squeeze India,he concluded.
