How China Is Treating Pakistan? Xi Jinping Last Visit Was In 2015 | Akram Naeem Bharoka

China-Pakistan Friendship: Strategic Partnership or a Relationship With Two Different Price Tags? For 75 years, Pakistan and China have described their relationship as an “all-weather friendship.” But what happens when we put the relationship under the microscope and look beyond diplomatic statements? In this episode of Timeline with Akram Naeem Bharoka, we examine the economic, military, trade and strategic dimensions of the China-Pakistan relationship. From Chinese weapons and Pakistan’s defence imports to CPEC, Chinese loans, power projects, trade imbalance, ML-1, Special Economic Zones and diplomatic support, this video asks a fundamental question: Does Pakistan receive the same kind of economic value from China that it receives in defence cooperation? According to SIPRI, China supplied 80% of Pakistan’s major arms imports during 2021–25, while Pakistan’s arms imports increased by 66% compared with the previous five-year period. The video also examines the other side of the relationship: Pakistan’s dependence on Chinese financing, CPEC projects, energy-sector agreements, bilateral trade and the large trade imbalance between the two countries. We also look at the evolution of CPEC, Pakistan’s infrastructure ambitions, ML-1, Special Economic Zones and the question of why some major projects have moved slowly or changed financing structures. Another major part of the discussion is diplomatic engagement: Pakistan-China strategic relations, leadership visits, Xi Jinping’s visits and the broader regional picture involving India and South Asia. The purpose of this analysis is not to portray China as either an enemy or a savior. Instead, it examines the available figures, agreements and public records and asks whether Pakistan has consistently calculated the costs, benefits and long-term strategic implications of its relationship with Beijing. China and Pakistan continue to describe their relationship as an “All-Weather Strategic Cooperative Partnership,” and their governments reaffirmed that partnership during Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif’s official China visit in May 2026. Watch the full analysis and decide for yourself: Is the China-Pakistan relationship primarily about friendship, strategic interests, economic necessity—or all three? 🎙️ Host: Akram Naeem Bharoka 📺 Program: Timeline #ChinaPakistan #ChinaPakistanRelations #PakistanChina #CPEC #China #Pakistan #XiJinping #CPECProjects #PakistanEconomy #ChinaDebt #PakistanDebt #ChinaTrade #PakistanTrade #Geopolitics #SouthAsia #MilitaryPower #ArmsTrade #AkramNaeemBharoka #Timeline ⚠️ Disclaimer This video is intended for news analysis, commentary, education and discussion.
