The China-Pakistan Military Axis
Pakistan’s Strategic Friend
During every war with Pakistan, China has moved the PLA ( People’s Liberation Army) towards India and thus forced India to divert substantial forces to the Chinese border. Even during the Kargil conflict satellite images showed weapon shipments moving along the Karakoram highway from China into Pakistan.
China is Pakistan’s main weapon supplier.
China supplies 70 percent of military aircraft and Main Battle Tanks (MBT) to Pakistan. Almost every missile project in Pakistan has been initiated through active Chinese or North Korean assistance China has supplied Pakistan with over 1,600 main battle tanks, 400 combat aircraft and about 40 naval vessels

Chinese help in setting up Pak Military infrastructure
China helped build the Heavy Rebuild Factory (HRF) at Taxila which served to overhaul and upgrade Chinese supplied Type-59 , 69 MBTs. Pakistan Aeronautical Complex at Kamra was established with Chinese assistance. The F-6 Rebuild Factory for Pak air force, established as a turnkey project by China, became operational in November 1980.

The Light Aircraft Manufacturing Factory (LAMF), another turnkey project completed by China in June 1981, was meant for producing complete airframes and eventual production of light aircraft The Heavy Mechanical Complex (HMC), the biggest undertaking in Pakistan, was set up at Taxila in 1979 with the help of Chinese assistance and expertise The Heavy Forge Factory (HFF) at this complex has proved crucial for Pakistan's defence production needs.
Weapons development MOU
Current military cooperation between the two countries operates under the provisions of the June 1990, Sino-Pak Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for a ten-year cooperation in procurement, R & D, technology transfer and co-production. This MOU has since been extended.
Weapons development against whom ?
Al-Khalid MBT: The ‘indigenous’ development of the MBT Al Khalid (MBT2000) in Pakistan was started with the help of the Chinese. Primary prototypes produced and fielded in China for trials in August 1991. The Karakoram-8 (or K-8) trainer/fighter was a joint venture between the China National Aerotechnology Import Export Corporation (CATIC), China Nanchang Aircraft Manufacturing Company (CNAMC) and the Pakistan Aeronautical Complex (PAC)
Weapons development against whom ?
The Super-7 ( FC-1) was originally a joint project for preliminary design between CATIC and Grumman (USA). After the Tiananmen Square massacre of 1989, US company pulled out. In 1992, to revive this project the the Chinese signed a fresh contract with PAC and the development of this fighter has continued ever since.
Pakistan’s ‘indigenous’ missiles..
Collaboration in the area of longer range missiles with the Chinese began once Pakistan became involved in financing Chinese M-9 and M-11 missiles programmes. According to the Deputy Director of the CIA, John E. McLaughlin, North Korea( A Chinese satellite state) transferred the 1,300 km-range Nodong ballistic missile to Pakistan. This was renamed as Haft. India's Scientific Advisor to the Defense Minister states that Pakistan's Babur missile resulted from the transfer of technology from China's stateowned China National Precision Machinery Import and Export Corp. (CPMIEC) to Pakistan's stateowned National Development Complex (NDC).
