2 months agoMilitancy is spiking in Indian occupied Kashmir and even overflowing to Jammu now. There are rumours that Pakistan has returned to it’s original master for alms and they are making Pakistan ramp up militancy to destabilise CPEC/BRI projects in the region. That’s the reason for the thaw, there’s a new frontier opening up for both India and China. I highly doubt any similar thawing between Indian and Pakistan is possible in the near future. Or any future, for that matter, where the military establishment in Pakistan hasn’t been decapitated.
Which is exactly why China only claims it and doesn’t hold it. They had occupied all of it way back in the 62 war and would’ve held on to it if it made sense. At this point, the claim is just a pressure tactic against an India that regularly takes potshots at China to impress US.
