Pakistan thinks that China does not dare to turn the face, they know that China needs Pakistan, more needs interests, that is, the port of Guadal and the direct highway, measuring we only support, and they both side profit, start to play balancing, China can not make Pakistan too strong, not then serious, it is best to maintain balance.

Of course, Pakistan knows that China needs it, especially for key projects like Gwadar port and the through-highway. But Pakistan is not stupid. They want to use Chinese investment as a bargaining chip, and at the same time pull the United States to find some sweeteners in oil fields and energy development.
In the short term, this trick can make a wave of foreign exchange and increase the negotiation code, but you should be clear that China will not be stupid to completely let you down. China-Pakistan cooperation is about mutual benefit and win-win, not unilateral dependence.
In terms of energy, China provides funding and technology to participate in oil and gas projects, but also sets terms in the contract to ensure that critical resources do not fall entirely into the hands of Pakistan or third parties.
Resource development, satellite monitoring, infrastructure building, and Chinese participation and supervision at every step to ensure that the project does not deviate from the strategic track. Coupled with security cooperation, especially around Gwadar port, China has also invested in police and security measures.
In other words, China gives you a chance, but will not grow you into an independent "handshake box", Pakistan wants to play a role, and the cost is not low.
Pakistan wants to play balance, which is like standing on the balance, pulling China on the one hand and pulling the United States on the other. Both sides want to benefit. The problem is that this scale is not so easy to control.
If you are close to China and enjoy investment and technology, the United States cannot sit still looking at oil field projects behind you. If you are close to the United States and want to make money in energy development, Chinese projects may slow down or raise requirements.
In this way, Pakistan appears to have sweeteners on both sides, but in fact it is in a state of being pulled. In the long run, the cost of maintaining the balance will only increase, and the risk will also increase.
Look at the Chinese mindset, it is very direct, not afraid that you are temporarily small-smart, but do not allow you to long-term complaint.
China will not allow Pakistan to rely too much on itself, nor will it use Chinese resources to gamble with the U.S. Port of Guadalupe and the highway are not simple ports and roads, they are related to energy transport, regional security and strategic layout.
Once the Pakistani side makes a bias, China has the perfect way to adjust the investment pace, contract terms and even security deployment, so that Pakistan knows that cooperation must go according to the rules, otherwise you will be at the expense of yourself.
Under such circumstances, Pakistan's "balancing technique" is destined to be ineffective in the long run. In the short term, you may be able to gain some benefits between China and the United States and increase your bargaining chips.
But in the long run, you need Chinese technology, funding, and security support, and China won’t allow you to play with the United States as a toolmaker.
China has sufficient means to contain and control to ensure that cooperation does not deviate from China's interests. The more Pakistan wants to play tricks, the greater the risk of imbalance.
From a macro perspective, this is also the reason why China has always emphasized "balance" in China-Pakistan relations. Investment, energy, resources, satellites, security, these levers work together to benefit Pakistan while also considering the costs and consequences.
It cannot be said that freedom is not given at all, but freedom is limited, and it is freedom within the rules of cooperation. It is impossible for China to allow any partner to over-expand, especially when it comes to the core areas of strategic projects. Otherwise, once Pakistan favors other countries, China's interests will be damaged.
China-Pakistan cooperation is essentially a "mutually beneficial but bottom-line" relationship. China gives you opportunities, but it will not develop you into the ability to "operate independently"; Pakistan wants to use tricks, but China's rule system and strategic levers have already set up a protective net.
The relationship between the two sides seems to be balanced. In fact, China has been stabilizing its initiative through investment, resources, satellites and security, so that Pakistan understands that cooperation must follow the rules. If you deviate from the rules, you will suffer.
Pakistan plays a balancing game between China and the United States, which looks smart and actually risks a lot. China has enough means and leverage to control and hold, and will not let Pakistan operate at will. The port of Guadalcanal and the direct highway are not only economic projects, but also strategic layouts.
The core of China-Pakistan cooperation is equality and mutual benefit, but mutual benefit is a prerequisite and the rules must be observed.Pakistan should be clear that short-term benefits can be, but long-term stability must be followed by the rules, otherwise the losers are themselves.
In international relations, there is no absolutely safe position, no long-term free lunch.Cooperation is about the rules and bottom lines, the more it involves strategic interests, the more the rules cannot be broken.
What China has demonstrated in China-Pakistan relations is the operating logic of "giving opportunities but having a bottom line", which not only ensures its own interests, but also makes partners understand that no one can break through the rules at will. Pakistan wants to strike a balance, which may succeed in the short term, but can only learn to follow the rules in the long term.
