In bilateral talks this year, Pakistan asked China for a nuclear second-strike capability in exchange for the Gwadar Port—a demand that was rebuffed by China
This is an excellent job of not only reporting the facts and developments, but also revealing the incompetence of Pakistan's current leadership (political and military) in managing it's relationships with the U.S. and China.
So kudos on helping us make sense of the self-inflicted damage the current government has done to the nation.
China, India, and the U.S. seem to be re-calibrating their own relationships (with Trump as the new wild card) and the amateurish Pakistani leadership is out of its league in playing that geopolitical game.
Only Imran Khan seemed to have come close to keeping the focus on strengthening Pakistan through anti-corruption measures internally, independence from subservience to the U.S., and economic relations with Russia and China. We can only hope for his return.
Calin Georgescu, Jean-Luc Melenchon, Imran Khan, Eva Morales, Luis Ache etc are examples of democracy not working in the USA’s interest any more resulting in destabilizing the respective countries. The Chinese are not war maniacs as the USA makes them out to be.
The economy is in shambles, record inflation, food and electricity prices are unbearable. The worse brain drain is taking place because there is no democracy left in the country. That's where the country stands.
The Lt. Generals, meanwhile, are planning massacres of democracy protestors as they day dream about nuclear submarines and second-strike capability to uphold MAD. I use to wonder how Pakistan blundered into 1971 but I see it happening again before my very eyes.
In their hearts of hearts the Americans have never liked foreign democracies. They prefer dictatorships, oligarchs and apartheid states. They prefer states that are unjust as long as the governments of those states work in their favour & are beholden to them.

We can only hope he continues to live! The "Biden Administration" has aided and abetted Pakistan in his persecution (of course).
People might want to look at this Pakistan situation in the context
of drug flow and money laundering.

America's foreign policy has always been based on its corporations making money.
Facist dictatorships are the easiest to buy off and control.

You're talking about the US government I dare presume which are fine with democracies.
I wish we had one here.
Say, didn't I hear AUKUS is selling some shitty nuclear subs?
It's not China trying to destroy a world it can't possess and rule.
