Pak-China Relations: The Eras of Military Regimes of Pakistan

Abstract

Since it gained its independence from the British Empire, Pakistan has been subject to a succession of military governments, and the state of democracy in the nation has never been stable. On the other hand, China is seen as a growing power in the modern period, and it plays a significant part in the international relations of the current day. Since the beginning of diplomatic ties between the two nations, a tight relationship has existed between them, and the breadth of those links has expanded in many different ways. The focus of the research is on the diplomatic ties that have existed between Pakistan and China ever since the birth of both nations, with particular attention paid to the diplomatic ties that existed throughout Pakistan's many military governments. Within the scope of this research are the administrations of Ayub Khan, Yahya Khan, Zia-ul-Haq, and Parvez Musharraf. The scope of this study includes diplomatic and military relations between China and Pakistan
