China hold a part of Kashmir

G-B should be declared 5th province, it's ours and why let India decide our country's decisions.

"Iron Brother" is neutral on Kashmir issue??

Long live Tibet movement

True. Chinese position is simple: That entire Kashmir is integral part of Pakistan. Pakistan got hold of GB and Azad Kashmir in less than one month in 1948.

Then leave CPEC

Position of Kashmir will only be affected when India will bring any foreign country for a economic project in Indian occupied Kashmir,foreign countries like US,Japan.

Well and truly said by China, Kashmir's position will not be affected forever. So live with it.

@SATT No just install THAAD ( Terminal High Altitude Air Defense ) system or S-400 in Tawang district , then see how China reacts .

No one or nor any country on this planet can change India's stand on Kashmir. UN or any country will never interfere. It is between Pakistan and India to resolve.

Now india should promote foreign investor in indian kashmir.

We can Ask Russia for such type of project to counter China.

Love you China Iron Brothers 4 Life Qilai!

:)

Millions of Indians have strong cultural ties with China, praying for the day when India/China also come together also :) Like what we have with SinoPak friendship.

Don't know why we're not making GB and Azad Kashmir as our 5th and 6th provinces

@Dr.Arshad One way traffic doesn't work.

@Junaid , Simple; it is called mischief playing.

Strange, China too endorses India's stance that Kashmir is a bilateral issue.. no place for third party.

China is a matured country it knows what to speak and when to speak. We India and Pakistan should be matured as well and forget who owes which part of Kashmir and stay calm with what is there today. If you talk of muslim brothers in Kashmir, then dont forget we have more Muslim brothers than Pakistan. They are taking part in each and every activity in India, whether it is as IAS officer, muscians, businessmen, actors, scholars, teachers, you name it and we have our muslim brothers in that field. Three Cheers to our Muslim brothers who stand in front of every Indian to protect them.

Its good for peace to declare gilgit-baltistan as 5th province of pakistan. That will allow india to scrap article 370 and so called 'autonomy' of Jammu kashmir. The Kashmir dispute will settle down in that way and business will start. One peace comes in the region, borders can be made porous. In today's world, there is no scope for changing geography by war.

That's how China plays...Pakistan will realize it when they are deep into it and will find it difficult to get rid of the Chinese embrace which is friendly but will be so tight that it will be chocking and suffocating.

CPEC the biggest thorn in the eyes of India and enemies of Pakistan.

The Chinese are quite stupid if you ask me. Trade with america is going to reduce after Trump implements his policy. Europe is going to get tougher. Rest of east-asia is quite wary of China as a hegemon. Its internal costs of manufacturing are rising on an yearly basis. By adopting a adversarial policy against India it is going to hurt its 10b trade with india. The day is not far when India is going to slap trade restrictons on China. Chinese growth story seems to be getting bleaker by the day because of its policies.

@D.K. PAMNANI Russia needs China to survive due to embargo.

@Abdul Rehman So when you are going to resolve this?

@naveed Maybe once CPEC.. .

Now foreign investment on Hydro power projects can be considered in J&K. Nobody dare to tell anything, in the light of CPEC.

@ABC , Which country is bigger, stronger , more powerful and more feared between the two; Russia or China?

@Punit ; on the surface but deep down NO!

Why is china supporting India's stance on Kashmir?

Simla Agreement, which allowed for repatriation of 93,000 Pakistani POWs from India, also agreed that Kashmir issue will be settled by bilateral discussions. This is the known position of both countries.

@Abdul Rehman India and Pakistan should heed to the wishes of the people of Kashmir as this is the only solution.

China doesn't even bother about international insitutions. But advises others. Example, PCA Hague gave a verdit that Spratly Islands are not part of China. But this nation which unilaterally rejected the verdict. Now such a nation which doesn't have democracy or doesn't fall in line with international institutions is calling for dialogie. It can go for dialogue with Borneo, Phillipines, Vietnam, Taiwan and Malaysia.

@Punit "Iron brother" is telling the world that they don't care about Indian position and will carry on with CPEC development on areas which India regard as it's territory.

Simple, convert LoC into IB, this is what India had been asking for long, no more AJK or Kashmir, but only India and Pakistan

Constitutional status to GB means GB is not a disputed territory, but a part of Pakistan.

@Taimoor khan Rather they are saying forget about UN. And let it remain how it is .

Sadly it is called rubbing the salt on the wounds.

@SID really? I dont see such presumption in Chinese statement. Isn't it quite funny that despite India hue and cry China ignored all Indian concern. Rest assured after CPEC completion Indian position on rest of Kashmir will only weaken.

Good Move by China. I am from India and I appreciate that. India and Pakistan should solve all their issues for development. I am from India and I want peace. India and Pakistan will be big economies in 2050 according to PWC Report. Even Bangladesh will be in top 30!! Let us all(China,India,Pakistan,Bangladesh,Nepal,Bhutan,Sri Lanka) move towards peace:) Also please don't hate on my comment as I am only 14 years old and my father will not allow me to comment if he sees bad comments. Love to to everyone:)

@Imtiaz ali khan Agreed! I am from India and I want peace between all countries! Our culture is so diverse yet linked together:)

Yes agree there is no role for third party or any terrorist organisations in between. Prblem can be solved only between India and Pakistan.

@D.K. PAMNANI We don't need such projects.

@Jamil What about wishes of every poor and underprivileged in Pakistan or India? Why are Kashmiris so special to you?

@Dr.Arshad The lady clearly said that Kashmir is a bilateral issue. Lets assume for the moment she said Kashmir belongs to Pakistan then how is China going to enforce it's decision? Ain't happening.

@Taimoor khan, Nope, its the other way

China will say something or nothing.....let Pakistan have its own policies. That will be appreciated more than anything else including public opinion in Pakistan! But sadly it is not to be seen at all ...!!

That's business. It minds the trade with India.

@ Indian, Bharat should let UN hold a referendum in Kashmir and we will find out what Kashmiris want.

India does not want to discuss the core issue of Kashmir, which is the reason of tension between India and Pakistan. “The United Nations brokered a cease-fire ( between India and Pakistan ) in 1949, and a five-member commission made up of Argentina, Belgium, Columbia, Czechoslovakia and the United States drew up a resolution calling for a referendum to decide Kashmir's future.” India agreed. India should fulfil its promise.

@Samir,India, Bharat will never totally subjugate Kashmir. It is time Kashmiris to decide their own future.

@Rituraj India, Bharat will never invite foreign investors because of overwhelming presence of Bharati forces.

@M. Siddique. What if Kashmiris want total indepedance? Both kashmirs free and united. Whats happens to cpec then?

@Observer You are unsuccessfully trying to mix two different issues. They both needs attention and resolution in their own way.

@AHA But because of India's intransigent attitude on Kashmir, the dispute between Pakistan and India has remained unresolved.

@Chandra This state of affair is not acceptable to the people of Kashmir. No one else can decide the destiny of the people of Kashmir than the Kashmiris themselves.

@SID Only in your dreams!

@Punit neutral but says it needs to be resolved which means it refutes india claim its part of india. Pakistans stand is reinforced.

@Samir,India the kashmiris will decide.

@SID don't annoy the dragon. India is a fly.

@ Indian no, China hold nothing, india occupy IOK. That's why India so scared of UN plebiscite.

I don't think Pakistan will allow anyone to stop CPEC project. It is too big. We should resolve kashmir and ask to join this game changing trade route.

@Imtiaz ali khan Really! China may have copied our culture not the other way round

@mshafiq_s28@yahoo.com Looks like you are only aware of that part of UN resolution that is taught in Pakistan. Just answer this Who is required to withdraw it's armed forces totally from Kashmir before plebiscite? Word is totally.. Answer..

@Jamil Bro, be realistic, what you state is ideal situation, but in reality one should have bargaining power on negotiating table, there are three players now, India, China & Pak, all will be guided by national interest, this new situation suits all three

@Taimoor khan On the contrary, this new situation will suit India and re-instate the status quo that India wants

@Jamil It has been decided for last 70 years.

@Dr.Arshad well said and the Indians are still taught erroneously in their schools, they won in 1948. They have odd concept of winning, by losing half of kashmir which is peaceful For last 70 years.

What a waste of thoughts, words, bytes and time!

It clearly contradicts Pakistan's stand seeking UN intervention. It is interesting how some Pakistanis are reacting to this easily understandable statement.

CHINESE, Why don't you PRACTICE before you preach in SOUTH EAST ASIA

China should first vacate Tibet and reinstate Dalai Lama. Then they can talk about Kashmir.

@murli China is not a matured country. It is a country seeking to expand its boundaries. It is a terriorially aggressive country, it has poor human rights record. Chinese muslims are oppressed and cannot practice freely.

@Taimoor khan China will ignore everybody including Pakistan. I am glad that we don't consider China as friend. It cannot stab us in the back.

Gilgit and baltistan are part of Kashmir and Kashmir is part of Pakistan. CPEC is a eyesore for our enimies. They know that in few yes are Pakistan is going to become strong. They need that we remain poor and weak. Iran and other countries who want to join CPEC knows the position of Kashmir. They value their dollars. UN also said that peaceful solution is important. We have neculear technology and now we will be a major power in the world.

@Nasir how is it yours? just because you say so ? even China is not supporting you guys on this it says resolve issue with dialogue

@Nasir : Same we feel here in India as well, mate!

@Imtiaz ali khan : What a noble thought! Sadly, we would take generations to think like you do.

@Ishan Pandey : You should think of majoring in International relations. Very mature comment coming from a 14 year old.

@SATT dont put ideas in their head.... :p

We are proud to be Muslim, proud to be Kashmiri. Pakistan zindabad!

@Jamil a violator, invader and occupier cannot heed wishes of the ocvupied, otherwise they will have to leave.

@Punit : well said !

I wish issues like Taiwan and China, North Korea and South Korea could also be solved through dialogue between the parties.

@Jamil, Kashmir's people want their own country. Not part of India or part of Pakistan.

Kashmir has a right of expressing their free will .The same right has been exercised by other areas under the supervision of the U. N.O. for example , Indonesia,Sudan and other places.Because of this problem South Asians will have hard time facing the problem of climate change,hunger and Health.Canal water dispute,hunger and poverty related suicide and Educational development are suffering` for military expenditure in KASHMIR.Promote peace in South Asia and peaceful negotiation for settlement of all disputes.

China knows all but some obstructions is in their path for which alternatively giving advice to their ally.

China should stay away from this...What will happen if India plays the card of Tibet...

@mshafiq_s28@yahoo.com There are conditions which both Pakistan & India have to meet before referendum can take place. Are you aware of this?
