When Will China Decide Its Next Course Of Action On Kashmir Dispute? On #WionEdit, Palki analyses China's possible stance on the Kashmir dispute. Beijing is unlikely to decide its position on the issue till the visit of India's External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar gets over.

WION Edit: China likely to wait till S Jaishankar's visit to decide on Kashmir

In the aftermath of Jammu and Kashmir being stripped of its special status, China keeping a cool and calculated distance from the issue is in stark contrast to Pakistan blowing hot and cold.

China has an interest in Kashmir because of Aksai Chin and issues over the Line of Actual Control (LAC). Its reaction is of greater consequence than that of the other P-5 members, including the US

China’s reaction, from its Foreign Ministry spokesman on August 6, to Ladakh’s changed status as a Union Territory and the “current situation” in J &amp; K were a matter-of-fact reiteration of its position, made explicit in the past too.

On Ladakh, China emphasised that its “firm and consistent position remains unchanged”, which is: that a part of Ladakh belongs to China; India should not change facts on the ground; China would find such changes unacceptable; and changes “will not (be allowed to) come into force”.

This was to be expected. Ladakh becoming a Union Territory might mean changes on the ground – and China was cautioning against it.

On the current situation, there was no direct reference to abrogation of Article 370. The spokesman reiterated that “China's position on the Kashmir issue as such is clear and consistent”. China is part of the “international consensus” on the Kashmir issue being a historical conundrum, and in dealing with which India and Pakistan should exercise restraint and prudence.

China asked India and Pakistan to peacefully resolve their “relevant disputes” through dialogue and consultation.

None of these responses indicate the least tilt towards “all-weather friend” Pakistan or China’s intent of wading in to the situation developing between India and Pakistan.

Thus, so far, if Pakistan has been unable to sway China on the present situation, it is unlikely to succeed in goading the international community to act at its behest.

A Look At Some Of The Key Challenges Facing India In Jammu & Kashmir

Wion Edit: Life after article 370: Key challenges before India

India’s decision to abrogate Article 370 far from ending Pakistan inspired and supported violence in Jammu and Kashmir seems to have made Islamabad opt for a direct confrontation with India. Pakistan’s National Security Committee, chaired by Prime Minister Imran Khan, has chosen a course of action calculated to step up India-Pakistan hostility.

The NSC decided, among other things, to downgrade diplomatic relations, suspend bilateral trade, review bilateral arrangements, take the “Kashmir issue” to the UN Security Council and observe Pakistan’s Independence Day as one of solidarity with the Kashmiris. To begin with, it means that the Indian High Commissioner would be asked to leave.

Whether these are so much drama driven by Pakistan’s desperation or a script for intensifying its policy of “a thousand cuts”, the fact is that India-Pakistan relations are set to take a dive. A more charitable view could be that Pakistan has resorted to this drama to save its face. And, there are good reasons for Pakistan to find a face-saver.

First and foremost, Pakistan has been presenting its case against India’s recent actions to members of the UN Security Council and other world leaders. India too has brief the P-5 and other countries on the action taken in the last few days. While none in the international community have criticized India’s action, they seem to be unmoved by Pakistan’s representations. In fact, there seem to be no takers in the international community for Pakistan’s arguments. Understandably, Pakistan may be feeling ignored.

In the event, to capture international attention, it must be acting in a way that raises the ante between India and Pakistan, heightens tensions and keeps taking steps that increasing hostility. Raising the prospect of a conflict and endangering security seems to be its way of grabbing global attention.

The point is that these may not work as expected to its advantage.
