The whole point of the excercise of the US threatening Pakistan is to draw China into the fight. Not directly, but draw them into a position where
they commit themselves to back Pakistan no matter what.
And the Chinese are almost there now.
Then ferment trouble in the disputed territory of kashmir again to draw India into the fight.
This manipulation on the geo-politics of the region is a WIN card for the USA, as it will from the sidelines manipulate affairs and sit back and watch
whilst the two emergin superpowers take each other out with nuclear weapons.

How the Empire will prevail: Washington to ferment War between India and
China
The staging of the fake death of bin Laden in a commando raid that violated Pakistan’s sovereignty was sold to President Obama by the
military/security complex as a way to boost Obama’s standing in the polls.
The raid succeeded in raising Obama’s approval ratings. But its real purpose was to target Pakistan and to show Pakistan that the US was
contemplating invading Pakistan in order to make Pakistan pay for allegedly hiding bin Laden next door to Pakistan’s military academy. The neocon,
and increasingly the US military position, is that the Taliban can’t be conquered unless NATO widens the war theater to Pakistan, where the Taliban
allegedly has sanctuaries protected by the Pakistan government, which takes American money but doesn’t do Washington’s bidding.
Pakistan got the threat message and ran to China.
China, concerned with India, the other Asian giant that is rising, is willing to ally with Pakistan. Moreover, China doesn’t want Americans on its
border, which is where they would be should Pakistan become another American battleground.
Therefore, China showed its displeasure with the US threat to Pakistan, and advised Washington to respect Pakistan’s sovereignty, adding that any
attack on Pakistan would be considered an attack on China
I do not think China’s ultimatum was reported in the US press, but it was widely reported in India’s press. India is concerned that China has
stepped up to Pakistan’s defense.
The Chinese ultimatum is important, because it is a WWI or WWII level of ultimatum. With this level of commitment of China to Pakistan, Washington
will now seek a way to maneuver itself out of the confrontation and to substitute India.
By the time India and China realize that they have been maneuvered into mutual destruction by the Americans, it will be too late for either to back
down.
Divide and Conquer at its best. What better way to eliminate two potential future adversaries then to get them to unknowingly fight each other?
With both of them out of the picture, only Russia is left which as we all know is surrounded by the US missile shield and no one to come to their aid.
