Ah, 1985! We just remembered

The on-going Sino-Pakistan nexus is highly dangerous for long term global peace and stability

In a report that shook the foundations of Islamabad, the London School of Economics made a strong case against Pakistan’s claim of a clean sheet with respect to Taliban. Their conclusion is that “Pakistan appears to be playing a double game of astonishing magnitude”.

This allegation assumes special relevance in the context of a foreseeable Sino-Pak nuclear deal. US is strongly opposed to the idea, since it violates international guidelines for forbidding nuclear exports to countries that have not signed the NPT or don’t have international safeguards on reactors. More importantly, the suspected bonhomie between Pakistan’s establishment and Afghan Taliban makes this development even more worrying.
