    Jian Yang, Rashid Ahmed Siddiqi•ARTICLE•Journal of Contemporary China•2011•Cited by: 3

    The traditionally close relationship between China and Pakistan cooled off somewhat with the end of the Cold War, mainly due to China's efforts to improve its relations with India and the disappearance of the Soviet threat. While China has continued to pursue its rapprochement with India after 9/11, developments since 9/11 have reinforced the security foundations of Sino-Pak relations and have consequently reversed the downward trend in the relat…
